That subie sedan is what the STi should have looked like.
I agree, at first I wasn't such a fan of the sedan but since we've got a gunmetal MY09 WRX sedan sitting in the showroom it's really grown on me. Now I' d take one over an Sti any day until either A: they make an Sti sedan, B: they bring out the Sti Spec C or C: We see a Litchfield Type 20.
If I had the money i'd buy the sedan and swap the STI engine, drivetrain and ancillaries to create my own long wheelbase STI.
I actually thought of that the day I saw the sedan and the STi in the same mag this summer (or so?). Swap everything over to the sedan and make yourself a little sedan STi. I reckon that's gonna be a popular swap over the years.
The Litchfield Type 20 is out, check out their website! 👍 (although i'd swap the ROTA copies for the real deal Advan RS, they chose ROTA to keep costs down) Hopefully the Type 25 isn't too far away (they're currently busy moving to a bigger premises)
'Rolla SR5!
KE35 is even better looking IMO..
I know the Type 20 is out, I meant see one for sale in NZ.
Surely you'll be waiting forever? I can only find original (2004 model) Type 20/25 for sale in the U.K unless I look on Litchfields stock list. I'd probably have to hire a vehicle scout to find the latest Type 25 for me as they've pretty much reached supercar status over here.
So I guess due to Litchfields system of only building as many cars as are ordered and the rate at which British supercar owners snap them up as practical cars, you'll be waiting 3-4 years before seeing one?
RonJon sounds more like a sunglasses make, and not someone I should trust with wheels...
