PGT Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05285/586667.stm dorky car writer writes about the spec.b that's not even worthy of a post....no pics, no driving impressions.... Collectors will want to grab one of just 500 special edition 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B sedans, a high performance version of Subaru's popular all-wheel drive intermediate model. What makes this car special is a 250 horsepower intercooled turbocharged engine, along with exclusive suspension treatments and unique design elements and interior features. It's been offered only in Japan and Europe in the past, but Subaru, whose image is getting sportier quickly, decided to offer in the United States, too. It's painted an exclusive Titanium Silver Metallic exterior color and has aerodynamic side ground-effects moldings with chrome trims. It has 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels and low profile performance tires, brick red leather interior, and comes only with a five-speed manual transmission. The guy goes on to spew the normal SOA BS about changes to the company's lineup...nothing about the Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarex Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Am I the only one who thinks the gaps between the wheel wells and the wheels are huge? I'm not into the whole "lowered" or "slammed" look but that thing looks like its on stilts. Looks stupid, needs to be lowered at least 1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarex Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Outback looks weird. Is an Outback sedan considered an SUV like the wagon? Whats the difference between the Legacy and the Outback (other than the suspension)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 When the Outback sedan first came out, it was called a SUS. Yup, you got it, Sport Utility Sedan. Other than Ground clearance and some bumpers (not sure about interior) it's the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarex Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Of all the car companies I think Subaru has some of the weirdest designs out there. Between the Outback Sedan, Tribeca, and above all, the Baja, they have one of the weirdest fleets in the industry. They're lucky they handle and accelerate so well (well the turbo models at least). Then again, when I first bought my bugeye WRX in early 2002 it was one of the funkiest looking cars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezstrydr Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 The dealarship that I work at just got two Spec.B's (Numbers 157 and 158). Only real mods are reddish leather interior, nicer wheels, and a pewter color. Performance is all the same but the price is 38,000 firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezstrydr Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm not trying to sell any cars on this website. In my opinion the spec.b isnt worth anymore than the limited. The truth is that nobody is going to let one go for msrp when there are only five hundred of them being produced. Its basic supply and demand.

Tide Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 You are absolutely right, it is supply and demand. But your dealership is overestimating the demand in many people's opinion (including my own). Demand is lower because it is a limited run. If they made it an option package with several hundred ran per month, the cost would have been less and the demand greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
