Subaru Canada sent me a booklet last week that showed the 2014 STi as the same as the current model, but with some special Canada only trim line added for next year. What gives?

Subaru, get your damn interiors up to snuff in the BRZ-STI-WRX range but don't raise your prices on those vehicles much. Slot a turbo motor into the BRZ. Offer a manual transmission with the turbo engine in the Forester.
328d, for a few reasons, it doesn't look like ass, its RWD, its available in manual in the US (but not in Canada ive been told), its still pretty practical, its still pretty fuel efficient, and its surely more fun to drive.
Simplify and add lightness...Caterham!
Until someone actually shows interest in it and wants to negotiate a price on it more than likely, I priced the car well and always kind of keep it on the market in case there's some interest. I wish I had the ability to drive a different car every few months, even if they were $5000-10000 cars but that would still…
BMW X1 with the N55 Twin Scroll Single Turbo engine at Auto X. The damn thing did pretty well, great grip with the RWD biased AWD and lots of torque coming out of the slow corners. It actually slid around quite easily too if you got on it and threw it around.
Thanks. We were trying to order a CSR260 here in Canada but due to all the regulations now you aren't legally allowed to build your own Caterham anymore, which was kind of sad. Not to mention they told us lead time was 1 year and it was going to cost around $110000 Canadian. Ended up with a 1 year old R400 instead…
What kind of build/delivery time where you quoted if you don't mind me asking? Also what country are you in?
Why are you so butthurt that someone made a suggestion? Guess what, I have an automotive degree too. Maybe I am wrong, but it was a suggestion. Not to mention you are taking my comments and twisting them to make them look stupid. Simmer down and quit bitching because you think I may be wrong, chances are I could…
Seems like if they can keep the cost down it will sell well. Looks are going to be the biggest problem IMO.
That's a photo, who knows if its a real car or not even. I didn't say I learned it from "forums" I said most of the guys on the forums invert theirs. Of course i'm assuming that the bounce and rebound rates are correct and the seals will work inverted on these cars which I could be incorrect about, not having those…
I don't know about this model, but they are on our R400, and most owners invert them after taking delivery.
They are, most owners invert them after they take delivery, we did ours as well.
Its more the builder just followed the instructions and put it together as it said. I should know, my father owns a R400, we inverted them just like almost every other person on the Caterham forums around the world.
100HP less is the R400. 400HP/Ton is still plenty, catapults you to 100KM/H in 3.8 seconds, and let me tell you what its like at 160KM/H with no doors in that thing...
These cars are fantastic to own if you have something you can drive every other day, my father has a 2012 R400 and we have put 1500km on it in the past 6 weeks alone, and it would be a lot more if it wasn't for the weather here in Calgary.
I'm assuming its the base Duratec 2.0L that starts out with 210HP with a blower on top. If so is a retrofit possible, my dad is already bored with the 210HP in his R400 :P
Caterham should stick to low volume hardcore sports cars, I dont want to see a Caterham badge running around everywhere on SUVs and small cars, it will ruin the taste of ownership for us lucky enough to own one of their fabulous Super 7s.
