Don't know if this is a repost but I just saw this at Edmunds, very interesting.

Very cool, sounds exactly like the kind of car i would want to buy next, but we will most likely never see it here in US.

That's what I was thinking. Only a slight variation it seems from the Spec-B, mostly in the suspension.

Just like most of the other goodies from Subaru we'll probably never see it. And if we do it'll need a reflash just to run right due to crappy maps to meet emissions regs.

Sorry to be downer. It's definitely a nice setup. Just tired of getting the shaft from Subaru.

very nice! I think the Spec B, with a little suspension and chasis love can be just as nice. Oh and lets not forget about the Brakes, wow, thats nice.

pfffhh. When is suburu going to realize that 300hp is not much to brag about anymore. 5 years ago it was, but almost all family sedans in the 30k range come with that type of power.

Kind of like the Forester STi that stayed out of the USDM market as well.
