Thats a 22B, only 16 UK STi 22Bs were made out of the 400, so theyre pretty rare but they aint no supercar. If you saw a 22B on the road you would definately give it a second glance, got a lot of road presence

Needing to fight the corner and quote noise regs or build numbers probably means you're trying too hard and therefore you lose.

im sure everyone believes you, but just cos its classed as a supercar by some over funded government beaurocrats doesnt mean that when people are asked to name supercars they include an Impreza P1 at all.

How is it "officially" classed as a supercar?

Is there some list of supercars which we're not party to?

If this is to do with emissions or insurance group then I think you're missing the point. Its also nothing to do with bodyshell. I'm sure the RHD 16v pre-B crack with sunroof option is quite rare.

ha ha ha. this thread has made me laugh so much.

If a Subaru is a supercar, then what is a ferrari, or lambo? an uber-super-dupercar?
If a Subaru is a supercar, then a mcdonalds is a proper gourmet meal.

Its not as if a subaru is a head turner or anything majorly special... regardless of some supercar noise test.
