The B4 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 This is more speculation than rumor or news. I was thinking about how the refreshes on the forester and the impreza both incorporated the 5mph bumper into a completely rounded face. The Tribeca is the same as well. That would lead me to believe the Legacy's face could lose the perception of having go-go-gadget bumpers in favor of a more rounded nose. Thoughts? http://www.cars101.com/subaru/impreza/WRX06sticorner1.JPGhttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/2105000-2105999/2105399_6_full.jpg http://www.cars101.com/subaru/forester/Forester05llbean1.gifhttp://www.cars101.com/subaru/forester/forester06llbeangreen1.gif [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think we will see the new Legacy face announced at the Detroit auto-show next month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick360 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just please don't get a front end as hideous as the Tribeca. Please no.......no.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Just please don't get a front end as hideous as the Tribeca. Please no.......no.... part of me kind of hopes that they do -- just to make our 'good' looking legacies more rare, and more desierable.... at the same time - It would suck for legacies in general. Luckily i've already got mine so i'm set. i'm really going to be bitter if they announce a 6spd tranny and more HP, for the same cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elej Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 one point of interest on the Forester, the '06 is about 1.5 inches longer than the '05, in other words the nose (or some part of the car) got stretched as opposed to chopping the bumpers to get that stubby look. Applying the same logic to the Legacy, I don't think we will see the JDM style short overhangs, regardless of what face is applied. that's my speculation.

RacingFish Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 dont think thier gonna change the tribeca after the first year.. but hopefully they'll make the forester look better then a small honda pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickedwrx02 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Dont know if I'm feelin it. Are those official pics or photochopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 That was the photoshop picture I found on a JDM pic some months ago and has been circulating on LGT and NASIOC. I like it quite a bit. Subtle and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedwrx02 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Its nice I just like the current front end better. I dont know maybe it will grow on me like the '06 STI's did. I hope they come out with some better colors for the new leggy. I would love to see a WRB or spec b charcoal gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'm actually liking the front of the Impreza more than I anticipated, I am however unsure if it makes the front of the car too busy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinet Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Almost bought a '06 STI a coupla days ago....really pulled out 'cause I wasn't sure I could deal with the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I would get one but I can't deal with the interior compared to the LGT which I think is a good step up in class over the Impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legandrex Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 That photochopped picture looks too much like the front end of the new impreza(probably cause it is). Needs to look more elegant for the leggy in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Almost bought a '06 STI a coupla days ago....really pulled out 'cause I wasn't sure I could deal with the front end. Where are your priorities!!! Buy that puppy!!! The only thing you'll see is pure excitement in every turn and the **** eating grin that will be permanently glued to your face everytime you pass by a mirror. For the Record: airplane schnoz + Tribeca = Me no likey airplane schnoz + Impreza = Hot! Hot! Gimmie! Gimmie! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintinet Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I would get one but I can't deal with the interior compared to the LGT which I think is a good step up in class over the Impreza. Agreed. I'm debating getting a new 05 MT LGT Limited wagon to be modded to Cobb stage 2, and perhaps suspension mods vs. waiting for the 07s. Rumors of an STI hatchback, 6 Sp MT on the Legacys are tantilizing. My dream would be a LGT Limited wagon with the STI engine and transmission. I have been considering the Spec B, also, but disappointed with lack of engine upgrade, necessity of the Nav system, same old 5 spd MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just give us the JDM Spec B stubby bumper AND a telescoping steering wheel so I can go right back to the dealership and do some business! It is the disposition of men to desire that which he cannot have, hence my un-quenchable wet desire for Shakira! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickster Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 It's not as bad as I thought it might be, but I'm still not digging it. Personally, I like the current face on the LGT. That said, any one have any sense when this will start showing up here? If it's sooner rather than later I may need to pull the plug now & get an 06. Thanks in advance, Rick Hanser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xantium Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think we will see the new Legacy face announced at the Detroit auto-show next month... I hope so, ill be there. Don't want to just see a challenger which i've already seen in about 790 magazines this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 http://homepage.mac.com/futureofx/.Pictures/HOST/CONCEPTUAL/LegNEWNose.jpg i think everyone was overwhelmingly disgusted when the 06 WRX/STi came out and i was one of them...but like most people it's starting to grow on me (like an ugly babe but it's still a Suby WRX) but i don't think this is the look for Legacy...it's butt ugly!! ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Looks like Subaru is bringing the Subaru BTH-5 concept to the show...but nothing else is "mentioned" http://www.naias.com/section.asp?sectionID=22 ...I like the comment at the bottom though; "More introductions are planned but have not been publicly announced by the manufacturers." Here's to waiting a few more days.... It also lists Subaru as having two "displays", one for "Subaru" and one for the "Subaru Driving Performance Center"...I wonder if that's the new Performance Parts division?
