SubieDriver Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In reading through an Evo MR vs STI Spec C article on the Auto Express UK site, the last paragraph caught my attention with a comment on the S402: Meanwhile, Subaru is also preparing a super-fast Legacy, badged the S402. It will have the same engine as the Impreza STi, as well as a new six-speed gearbox and stiffer suspension. Topping things off is a racy interior with sports seats. The S402 should also be available via grey importers. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/220938/ultimate_evo_and_impreza_ready_for_battle.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danHA Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I read about this on autoblog, but it didn't mention anything about the engine upgrade. And it also didn't mention anything about Subaru planning to bring the s402 to the States. It should be interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Chris Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Not available in the US. The article says available from "gray importers" So you are just as likely to get that as a Legacy STi. 2011 WRX Hatch currently. Looking for OXT or FXT for new daily to go with the WRX.

Tetsugen Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Will this car be based off the BL chassis or next generation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a UK source, so the grey imports will be to the UK, not the US, but one can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Will this car be based off the BL chassis or next generation ? It seems to be the current platform. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the next-gen platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 This was the only source I had seen that mentioned the S402 having the STI engine. Has anyone else heard anything regarding that bit? The comment about having a new six-speed gearbox is interesting too. Wonder what's different. Ratios? Beefiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
