kero Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well, my wife just go the 2016 legacy, I drive a 2000 2.5rs with 115K on her right now. Would like to have my car for a long time but if and when it needs replacing, an older wrx either 06/07 wagon or a 04/05 forester fxt. If money were not an issue (in addition to the above), would like to restore and mod either a SVX or XT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) What "ride" was the 69 ? 1969 Porsche 911S; took delivery at the factory in Stuttgart/Zuffenhausen. Best car I've ever owned. My philosophy has always been, "Buy something you really like, and drive the paint off of it." http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=216162&d=1441819594 (I used to be cool.)

subiefan15 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well with as much as I love the new Legacy and Outback I think I want to wait with what the 2017 or 2018 updates bring, I might just lease a 2016 and then in three years the full re model should be about to debut so... I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadrangle Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Well, since I just took delivery of my 2016 Legacy on Saturday, I'm not quite yet to the point of thinking about what comes next. I guess I'm just a procrastinator! But if I were to buy something in the next few years, the requirements would be, at a minimum, to match or beat what the current car has: AWD, adaptive cruise control that goes to 0 MPH, blind spot monitoring and forward collision braking with speed differential up to 30 MPH.

TTG Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 cs? Sorry.... Carrera S. I guess they were 911 S back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Sorry.... Carrera S. I guess they were 911 S back then. Yeah ... the Carrera designation was only applied to a rare 4-cam Porsche 356 in ~1957, and wasn't resurrected until MY 1984. 1969 marked the introduction of the 911 T, E, S, and (very rare) R designations. The 911S was the highest-tune street version available in the U.S. for MY 1969 ... the 2.0 liter engine produced 195 hp at 7,500 rpm, with a pronounced torque peak at 4,500 rpm, and the car's curb weight was an astounding 2,195 pounds. 0-60 time was ~6.5 seconds and the top speed was 149 mph (personally verified one afternoon on the Hamburg-Bremen autobahn). Only about 1,500 '69 911S models were produced, and fewer than half of those were built to U.S. import specs. I sold my '69 911S in 1984, with ~125,000 miles on it. It resurfaced more than a decade later when it was purchased by an independent specialist Porsche mechanic I know. He, in turn, sold the 911S to fund the acquisition of a legendary 1957 356 Carrera he found, but he continued to follow the 911S. The last I heard, "my" '69 911S had been fully restored and was on display in an automotive museum somewhere in the northeastern U.S. Sadly, virtually all of the other pictures I had of the 911S were destroyed over the years. If you look closely, in the "Nurburgring Hero" picture I posted you can still see remnants of soot and other artifacts from a fire. FWIW, the out-the-door price (at the Porsche factory, not including taxes) for my '69 911S was $6,292. The cost of my trip to Germany to pick up the car, ~2,000 miles driving through Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, ocean shipping back to the U.S., import duty, sales tax, registration, and licensing back home added another $2,000 or so to the final cost of the car. Recent auction prices for running/restorable examples of this model have been in the $125,000 range, with fully restored cars (Steve McQueen's personal 911S among them) going for twice that. Sorry for the novel, but these are good memories.

CT2015Legacy Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I think I'll find myself getting back into a WRX or STI possibly in the next few years (at the design change) unless a Legacy STI with a turbo (GT) is offered for sale once again here in the US. I strayed away from Subaru once before; I doubt it'll ever happen again unless a truck is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieN8 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I received an email from SOA and they said that a Brat/Baja isn't on the horizon. MAYBE they will do a Legacy Outback, maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk Haven't placed an order yet, but I probably will a year or two from now to replace my wife's Jeep. Already have the electrical for it ran in the garage. Hoping the range will be better at that point. I'll be interested to see the Model 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
