First this 2003 WRX in Sonic Yellow. There were approximately ~1,500 made, split between the 4 door and the 5 door. As I remember, all of the Sonic Yellow 4 doors received the rear spoiler as standard.

It looks fairly stock, however a bit rough in places.

Next, this 2005 WRX STi.

This one looks fairly clean, and it’s a classic color combo. However, I could do without the wheels being Rotas, and the tires could use a little less stretch .

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Sonic Yellow bugeye in person....I wonder if they actually sold them in Canada? Something tells me they never did, or that they were even more rare on the ground here than in the States...?

From what I can find, Sonic Yellow was available in Canada only on the Spec R1 special edition.

Some of the details can be found here . Only 90 sedans and 35 wagons were made.

I think I need to add Sonic Yellow to the shortlist of colors I want my dream Subaru to be painted/wrapped.

Someone who races in our RallyCross region drives a sonic yellow bugeye.

I normally meh at any subaru besides the Brat or Baja, but I love that color.
