Subaru UK Kills Off Impreza, WRX, STI

If you read British buff books like EVO, it would be easy to think that the hot versions of the Subaru Impreza are fixtures of the UK's motoring landscape. Not only are they beloved by enthusiasts, but the WRX is even employed as a police car in certain municipalities. But starting in 2013, British car buyers won't be able to purchase one of the small Scoobies. A lack of demand has led Subaru UK to kill off the Impreza, and its more sporting variants. AutoExpress reports that "The new Impreza has been under evaluation in the UK for 12 months, but the decision has been taken not to bring that car to the UK because of insufficient demand…Subaru is concentrating on what it's really good at – so we're concentrating on SUVs and the BRZ – we're hoping to get more [BRZs] next year to satisfy strong demand for that car." That means that going foward, the XV, Outback and Forester will be the staples of the lineup, as well as the BRZ. The Legacy may not even survive. Luckily, UK buyers can still import vehicles from Japan as grey market cars. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
