In the last five minutes, I placed an order, wanting the car for December the 3rd. The dealership couldn't get one that soon, but promised a 2004 model for late December/early January. They did suggest they'd me model changes, couldn't be specific, but were sure my car would be 2004 spec.

Sounds eminently sensible. Expect a more "grown up" car.
Like the wheel upgrade - wonder if it will "improve" the handling?
More debate about bespoke tyres or not is bound to follow.......

Can this be true, the Carper is a member 
about the MY2004 It may be all set for the states but I doubt we'll see it here in time for the new year. Subaru are running 2.5l engines in their American STis with no plans to bring the same engine to Europe (much to the dismay of UK enthuisiasts)
