Nice to see another bugeye lover!!
A car with the kind of face only a mother could love....and i've been called a mother on more than one occasion.
It's my favourite looking Impreza too! If I ever owned an Impreza I'd probably end up going for a classic Type R or RA, because I think I'd prefer the shorter gear ratios and rawer driving experience, but failing that, of the new-age Imprezas I'd definitely want a Bugeye. It's just got such an aggressive look, the wide, round lights remind me of a a shark's eye, it's just great.A car with the kind of face only a mother could love....and i've been called a mother on more than one occasion.

sharks eyes, such an agressive look? My personal opinion of course, but I think one of those Waybuloo characters (cbebbies - I have 2 year olds) looks more threatening It's like a soppy bear or something....

I am not familiar with Waybuloo however.

S202 - Forerunner of the Spec C
[pedant]Actually an STi special edition of the Ver.7 Spec C, following on from the butt-ugly s201 and preceding the s203 (blobeye), s204 (hawkeye) etc. They also did s401 and s402 Legacies.
[/pedant]
They actually made two versions of the bugeye Spec-C (and pre-facelift cars had Type-RA in the name as well), the '17" wheel model' with big brembos, ABS and slightly more comforts and the '16" wheel model' more directly for rally homologation with DCCD/smaller brakes to fit inside gravel wheels/no ABS/smaller fuel tank and a few other differences. Yes please.
That version Spec C had 275ps. It was the same engine carried over from the V6 WRX/STi but with AVCS added for better low down torque.
The S202 had a longer wheelbase and extra camber on the front end, lighter glass all round, rear wing etc...) but this time came with 320ps as did all subsequent Spec C's.
Out of all the S203/204/206 versions the S202 was IMHO the best and has more in common with later Spec C's than later S versions, apart from the fact it had no DCCD but then that didn't come about till V8 JDM.
Not many people remember the V7 Spec C, they tend to remember V8 onwards, but they do remember the S202.
ETA: The less said about the S201 the better
