Naja, er wird ja auch nicht mehr "gebraucht"... Die sportlichen Modelle sind in eigene Modellreihen (WRX STi und BRZ) ausgelagert und so viel flexibler zu entwickeln. Ergibt schon Sinn.
So ein Text kann wohl nur von TopGear und auch nur von einem Briten kommen. Weltklasse!
"It's better to burn out than to fade away." So sings Neil Young. [...] The Subaru Impreza Turbo - the WRX STI in current parlance - should have blown out in a cloud of atomised rubber, roasted clutch and whistling overboost. Instead, it has ignored Neil and simply faded away. When Subaru's UK operation quietly announced just before Christmas that it would no longer be importing the car once its current stock was sold, you probably didn't notice. Even with a Mayan apocalypse looming then, this is a scandal.
Enter the Impreza. [...] So ugly it made a bulldog chewing its way out of a wasp nest look like Kate Moss.
It was also a Subaru, the oddball little automotive division of Fuji Heavy Industries, popular with Cumbrian farmers and, it was rumoured at the time, American lesbians.
