    I was told by a Motor Image insider that the Impreza STI won't be available this March as expected but sometime April, May....or for reasons unknown to them.

    Well, can't do much except wait for the GR-series Scooby STi to come here. (I wonder what powertrain it's packing...)

    Until then, the older GDB series will have to tide you over...assuming there are any units left.

    As far as I know, export market versions of the all-new 2008 (GE?) Impreza WRX STI will use the 2.5 liter boxer engine with a single-scroll turbo.
    The North American version makes 309PS (305hp or 227Kw)

    The Australian and Euro version makes 300PS (296hp or 221Kw)
    We'll most likely get the 300PS version.

    They are still in the process of testing the new impreza. Si Petter Solberg inis na inis na nga rin, kasi ang lumang Impreza pa rin ang gamit nya sa WRC wala pa raw ang bago.

    AG4:
    The Subaru Japan website quotes different chassis codes for the normal Impreza and the WRX STi. The normal Imprezas are coded "GH" while the blistered-fender STis get stamped with "GR" on their chassis. FYI

    Not sure what the export versions' chassis codes will be, but I'll bet they'll stay roughly the same.

    +1

    He did pretty well in Rally Sweden, but that was more due to a lot of his rivals crashing out (Seb Loeb included) than the merits of the GDB-based Impreza WRC. New car can't come any sooner.

    AFAIK tatapusin lang yung MIA sa April. Russ Swift will be using an 08STI for his stunts, MI wants him to drive it first. abanagan na lang yung gagamitin niya, less 200K na yon.
