Speaking of Japan, a series of Tokyo Auto Salon videos should be done soon

. I'll make a seperate post when those are ready.

great vid!

I see that the S204 has silver RE'S as opposed to the gunmetal finish on the S203 !!!

**Nachos Libres** · 01-29-2006, 06:30 AM

Very nice vid. I always thought the S203/S204 only came in a certain color, but the video proves otherwise. How many colors does the S204 come in? Also, how much would that car cost if you converted yen to us dollars?

***Ben*** · 01-29-2006, 06:40 AM

It comes in three colors I believe (silver, black, & blue), atleast there were 3 colors at the private press day. Interestingly enough, no matter what color you choose you get silver side mirrors! It looks OK on the black one but when I saw the blue S204 with silver mirrors it was pretty strange.

It would end up costing about 42-45k in US dollars if you converted it.

During the meeting with STi they basically explained that the "S" series of cars was basically the equivalent to the "M" series of BMW. It's not the fastest STi out there (like the Spec C Type RA) but it's the best looking and most comfortable. Don't get me wrong though, it's definitely not slow! The twin scroll turbo they have on there is very sweet and makes what feels like considerably more power over the regular STi's. If I had to guess, I would say around 330-350 HP.

Great vid!! I love those seats, the black center console portion too.

I'm glad to see the "upper" spoiler gone, but they need to fix those taillights.

**Nachos Libres** · 01-29-2006, 06:57 AM

Very nice, but I would definately get silver because of the side mirror thing.

STImachine · 01-29-2006, 06:58 AM

Swapping to flat black TS mirror skins would cost about $35.

That thing sounded great! I wonder what type of exhaust that was....

Great vid! Sounds like the S204 has equal-length headers, correct? Beautiful car
