Posts: 1,380		Oo, if they make it, and it has 4wd and big power it will be a very interesting car indeed. And if that pic is anything to go by it looks really rather good too!

Posts: 217		It'd be even better with a Cosworth badge on the back. Very interesting pictures and with the Impreza being as ugly as it is now there's definately a gap appeared in the market for a car like that. Well done Ford!

Posts: 8,630		280bhp front drive would be a nightmare on our roads, even with a decent LSD. Still looks great though, I'd be happy just looking at something like that outside my house.

Posts: 1,771		280bhp front wheel would be crap. I'm sure you remapped r26 guys can agree that too much power front end is a reciept for understeer/torque steer.
