you know what though....
People in Japan love Autometer gauges and other "american stuff"....i wonder if they long for a USDM STi because it's LHD? who knows? The grass is always greener if you know what i mean... It would be nice to get the Subaru's, Nissans they have now but there just isn't a huge demand because of our fu*king soccer moms and ***** caravan families
Sure 555 V limited's would sell in about a week but we'll see our day soon. we FINALLY got the STi so im willing to bet we'll get these in this decade.

even with the big demand for...
minivans, SUV,etc there is a high demand for those exclusive high end import cars. IF they dont over produce them and keep the Numbers low enough they all will sell. I agree finally we got the wrx and then came the STi. Even with mitsubishi releasing the evo here helps. Hopefully others will follow and as time progresses we will see these fat limited production wrxs and STIs.
Time will tell but if the japanese automakers dont they are missing out on a large market.
Keep our fingers crossed

I believe that if the USDM STi and EVO sell well in the next year or two then they'll reward us with these limited v's and other model(s) and see how they sell.

I want one sooo bad. The STi and Evo aren't exactly moving very quickly over here AFAIK. I wonder what the numbers are like in Japan as far as sales go. The STi is pretty much a special edition in it's own rite in the states.

There's no reason why they can't do a bunch of special editions like that here. It's just a few extra bits here and there, some semi-aftermarket stuff they toss on, and then add some letters to the name. If you ever notice, everything in Japan has special editions, look at all the ltd ed. Game Boys sometime, there are hundreds. For some reason, the special-edition fever thing just never caught on here, or at least none of the companies think it'd work. I, however, am a complete sucker for such things, hence my white japanese PS2
