FACE LIFT FOR IMPREZA

THE IMPREZA WILL GET A FACE LIFT BY THE END OF THE YEAR

With sales not as big as the last modle WRX in places like Australia, Subaru have hired ex-BMW and Alfa Greek designer Andres Zapatinas. He will Be in japan next month and will probly get the tools out and work on the WRX. The last modal WRX sold in huge amounts in Australia, but since the curret Rex has been out it hasen't been so popular. At first when the spy shots came out, for me and many other people, we didn't really like it. Well, i hated it. But it has really grown on me. I currently like the car. With a fresh new front on it by the end of the year, I predict the sales will boom. In the USA this is the first ever WRX they have got. And the sales and popularity are great. The WRX has won awards for its briliant value and performance. Resons? Well they never got the first WRX. Tuning of the WRX in Australia is no where as big as the last REX, but I think it will start to get huge after the face lift. Thats if MR Zapatinas dose a good job. Will there be a coupe? The last REX's Coupe Came about 4 years after the stock rex it was relesed in Australia (93 i think).

Just relesed in down under, The STI is a bit down on power then the last STI, and so is the price. For about 14 grand more then the normal, The new STI is a great pakage. It picked up 6th in this years Motor magazines performance car of the year. Porsche GT2 made 5th, The Evo 6 TME made 4th, Porsches 911 came 3d and the Turbo MX-5 SP made 2nd. Winner this year the BMW M3.

WILL THE RX3 AND SSS COME BACK?

WILL THEY EVER MAKE THE RX3 AGAIN? WILL WE SEE A NEW SSS?

With problums with the SR20 (READ ARITICLE BELOW0 anthoer Pulsar SSS will be unlikely for now. With nissan slowly killing the S15 until early next year, Nissan will probly not make a SSS version of the current N16. They might not have been as popular as the WRX but it would be great to see them back. The last SSS was the N15 modle witch only came in hatch form. It had a N/a Sr20 but had some go. It has been a while since the old ET turbo and EXA, and will be unlikely to ever see a small nissan with Turbo technology. Well not in production.

Mazda RX3? i don't think there will ever be anthoer one. The RX3 is still being built up now in australia at tune up shops. With mazda not putting out any small rear wheel drive cars its hard to think of seeing anthoer. If they did it will probubly go head to head with the WRX and 200sx. There might be the Sp20 for us, but doesn't satisfiy me. If some body gets a 323 protage and sticks the rear wheel drive parts from the MX-5 in, gets a 13b and chucks that in, YOUR A CHAMPION!

MR.NISSAN WHERES THE FU*K WHAT YOU DOING WITH THAT SR20?

The guys at nissan are chucked the S15 Silvia/200sx with the SR20DET out the window. Thats right there cutting the production and making a new S16 and a new engine as you read this. Well depends what timezone your in. Why? well Japans new though regulations say the Good 'ol SR20 is putting out too many emissions! The next S16 might even be a non-turbo! N/a! whats the hells going on here! Most of the last S15s will be going to Australia to last us here into 2003. Yay! They are giving all the remaining S15s away for free, at the places they are giving them away for free.
