[mikeyb]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Subaru will release the special edition Impreza WRX Club Spec 9 in late August, the newest addition to its performance stable. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The car features a variety of mechanical and cosmetic refinements and includes factory-fitted sunroof and leather trim as standard. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said the Club Spec 9 is the latest Impreza WRX to get a valued-added package a trend that has proved popular with customers and is reflected in retained values. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Our previous special edition Impreza WRXs have each proved winners, with specification that clearly differentiates them from the standard cars and the 9 is no exception. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Just 300 Club Spec 9s will be built, all featuring Subarus Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the same turbocharged boxer engine that recently won an International Engine of the Year award. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Priced at $44,490 recommended retail price, the comprehensive package includes chassis, driveline, exterior and interior upgrades adding more performance, styling and luxury to the already iconic Impreza WRX. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]New 18-inch wheels and tyres provide a sharper, sportier feel and when teamed with the STI suspension kit lowers the car by 15 mm, giving a more aggressive stance. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Handling is refined through an increased spring rate and a lower centre of gravity. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Aerodynamic efficiency is enhanced with the addition of an STI front lip spoiler. Crafted in a matt black semi gloss finish, this tough but lightweight addition improves both stability and cornering. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Adding to the sporty feel is a short shift gear lever, featuring a more rigid & direct shift feeling, incorporating reinforced bushes, a shortened shifting stroke and STI aluminium shift knob. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Inside comfort levels are paramount with leather trim and an electric sunroof fitted as standard. [/FONT]

$45k for a wrx with appearance mods?

 

[Kansei]

luckily it's 45k AUD but still.

 

[mikeyb]

I actually like it.

 

[Kansei]

I do too. The color looks sweet

 

[VA03Speed]

I want performance mods for $45k not appearance. Do not get me worng it looks sick as hell but I want more performance than I do appearance. But thats just my opinion.

 

[mikeyb]

I want to see a wagon version on this.

Where in there does it say anything about appearance mods? Those performance mods may affect the appearance of they car, but they were not added to specifically make the car look cooler.

what club is this wrx spec'ed too? or is it just a silly name?

 

[Mikey444]

Onr thing I really like about the new WRX's are the brakes.

 

[StreakinOraNgeX]

The one thing I really like about the 06 wrx is the new 2.5 liter engine pushing out at the very least 20 more whp than previous years and craploads more torque.

 

[toucci]

luckily it's 45k AUD but still.

45k AUD is around 35k USD

 

[Gaboost]

The one thing I like about the new WRX is with a few mods it is faster than a STI, for thousands less.

 

[Phoenix5]

All those exterior upgrades...but still the same bad ass interior(lol2)

 

[jred321]

45k AUD is around 35k USD

cars in general are more expensive in australia, especially foreign cars. for comparison, a regular wrx is $39,990 and the STI is $56,990

i like this special edition and would get it over a regular wrx

Onr thing I really like about the new WRX's are the brakes.

yeah, i'm kind of kicking myself for not waiting a few more months when i bought mine.

35K is is getting a little pricey for a rex. While that lip seems to pretty up that fugly face a little, overall I'm getting a little tired of the endless IMPREZA and EVO variants. How much can you milk a vehicle. I mean having options is nice and all but gimme a break!

 

[Donas64]

Whats so good about the brakes?
