That’s just for the UK market though. They will continue to sell in other markets were the demand is still there.

it's only a matter of time.

subaru nz are barely selling a handful of new sti's each year, biggest seller is the auto wrx.

Good time to hold on to an Sti. I imagine prices will go up when the time comes. Look at evos.

haha yeah. Not sure how it will effect older sti's tho..

Haha not thinking about the value thinking about a new car and always wanted one new and untouched. I’m pretty convinced they will still bring them in for at least the next few years though.

I thought it was just the end of the EJ engine.

 

As long as there's a WRX doubt prices will change. And old cars are based more on following. Look at the integra 16k for a dc5 wtf?

Literally never got why DC5's are so expensive, read about them, couldn't see it, drove one, didn't get it.

 

As for the article according to the google its the end of the U.K importer of Subaru's importing them, so wouldn't get too punchy with the savings account. Its still an interesting point as there must be a reason they're stopping but won't affect NZ.

Don't care I want the old one more than the one I have anyway.

 

once they left WRC it was all down hill. Look at Toyota nothing good since gt4.

Evo X is like GTR all computer controlled twitchy ness. Subaru is/was the last without the rear and center diff all taking away the fun. If the next sti is hybrid or twitchy I'll turn in to a old F*** and restore an old car (1998).

GC8's are the best anyway. Lighter than any of the later model chassis, make the same power from factory. And best raw power delivery out of the box imo. They dont have huge top end but hey who needs top end in a gc8 anyway, they were designed for rallying and to point and shoot from A to B fast, not break speed records.

[Gripless]

Until you see the difference in the block design, they had such tiny cylinder walls back then.

Ideally a gc8 with 08+ block, heads, intake etc as they just flow so much better.

 

still not sure I'm even a fan of the newer square shape. Most likely be thought of like the cars from the 80's as a generation of boxes with wheels.

S*** happens. Ride along with progress or get left behind basically. There's F*** all we can do about it. It's just how the global car industry is going.
