Needed codecs are Xvid and AC3...
Download & install:
FFDShow for video
AC3 decoder for sound
With these two all videos should work.

"Impret-za" don't think I've ever heard that pronounciation before.
I'll take the Forester STi over the Impreza STi....family vehicle with that performance? Priceless.

You would have if you watched Top Gear and Fifth Gear on a regular basis.
Also, just so you guys know, you can get the entire Fifth Gear episode for not much more time than it would take to download that clip. The episode is downloading at 50 KB/s for me.

they also pronounce the Evolution as eee-volution.
and hyundai as high-un-die.

It would be Impretsa if it had two z's and were Italian.

They need to put the DCCD on the Forester STi. Then it would be perfect.
I especially like the fact that the Forester doesn't have that huge THING on the back. It's significantly more stealth.

Hahahaha, I was going to also say that, but I couldn't think of a way that didn't involve the word "vagina."

You pronounce the Z in Impreza the same way you pronounce the Z in Nazi. It isn't "nah-ZEE", it's "naught-ZEE". So you have "emme-PRET-zah", not "emme-PRESS-ah", "emme-PRAY-sah", "emme-PRE-sah", or any other iterations. Ask anyone who doesn't speak american.

I don't believe there is a Z sound in the Japanese language. There is an S sound and a C sound though. I think it's actually "Emme-PRET-Sah".
In Spanish, I guess it'd be pronounced as an M. "MME-pret-cee-ah".

Hmm, I stand corrected. I must have been thinking of something else then.

Perhaps we will meet some day and discuss about pronunciation in different languages/areas/continents... anyway-Vicky is british; i love the show (they impreoved a lot over last season (like new BMW M5 vs. BMW F1, Volvo V50T5 vs. Legacy Wagon SpecB); i also like Topgear...
most about all - it's nice to see that Subaru continues making great cars; though they will never made again such a great allround car as Legacy I and II...
@ Thawa - u got mail...

there is hiragana with "Z"

they have the z but i dont think it is ever pronounced the way we do. it has a "ts" sound rather than our "zee" sound. and sometimes it has a "zuh" sound.
and yes vicki is hot and i would love to have both a impreza STi and a Forester STi.
and i refuse to use the "new" STI, im sticking w/STi.

When she squeals while exited, well, what can I say besides "that's hot".
