leftride Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 i know it will probably be expensive, but i hope we can put an '07 HU in the '06's i would love to have a clean way to have an Aux/in *vb gallery* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekranzler Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Where have these been moved to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Where have these been moved to? No clue, but I'm curious as well. Most likely the sides of the seats somewhere? Or the doors. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinet Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Much better, but still needs stiffer sways and springs, STI engine....kinda 1/2 way there....although, those changes can be addressed fairly well post-purchase.... 'cept for the lack of wagon edition!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftride Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 No clue, but I'm curious as well. Most likely the sides of the seats somewhere? Or the doors. it would be weird to not have the passengers control within reach of the driver...how would you shut it off then, unless they are now on some sort of timer.... *vb gallery* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmorris Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I wonder if those 60/40 seats will fit in an '05? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggert Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 interior is a clash with the exterior but hot nonetheless.... where's the AUX hole to plug in MP3s n stuff? inside the armrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggert Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Where have these been moved to? just in front of the armrest opening, behind the handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 i wonder how the SI-Drive thing will work with things like Cobb AP.. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 i wonder how the SI-Drive thing will work with things like Cobb AP.. +1 And I'm curious how the active torque curve display will work w/ upgraded components.. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Interesting... so I see the front diff is still open. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crex Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 when do they arrive at dealerships? the spec b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Good Job Subaru! Spec B might leave a bit to be desired, but hey, it's a trim package, not an STI treatment. Looks pretty damn good to me. I'll be jealous of the folding rear seats, but to be honest, I've yet to encounter a time I've wanted/needed to use them in the car yet. If I can make my move to Colorado this year, it will probably bug me when I take the car skiing, but other than that I've been able to live without folding seats for 4 years. It's not enough of a change to get me to trade in. The one feature that I actually think is "blah" is the SI-Drive. Really, all it does is change the sensitivity of the Throttle position sensor. In Sport mode, it acts just like the current GTs, in Sport Sharp mode, it acts like an STI which can be had with a TDC protune map if you have an AP. In "Intelligent" mode, it softens the curve. It's NOT like getting an AP because it doesn't actually increase the performance of the engine, just the response to input. I wonder if this feature will still work with an AP, or if it will even make the AP less compatible This makes me wonder if my current head unit also plays WMA files, even though I never use that file format. From what I've seen so far with the SOA literature for the 2007 models, I think the AUX in connector for 2007 will actually be in the center console! Nice going! Steering wheel mounted stereo controls continued for 2007 Spec B, but no mention if the standard Legacy GT will have this option? Good incentives to step up to the Spec. B though. I wonder if the markup will be as high. Eve if it is, I think the value has gone up a good amount with the 6MT and VDC (even though I personally couldn't care less about either). Regardless, once you took out the dealer "market adjustment" markup crap, the Spec B wasn't unreasonbly higher priced than a standard GT, and since the Spec B will just be a new trim level, I suspect the pricing will be more consistent next year. I'm impressed with how well Subaru listened to complaints and reacted with requested changes/improvements. I hope this trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 when do they arrive at dealerships? the spec b Rumor says Fall (but the non-spec.B's arrive July). But now that these are now full production models, maybe the rumor's wrong. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWP-LegacyGT Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 WTF Subaru, stop cock teasing us you bastards! 2008 can't come soon enough. At this point.. WHO THE FVCK CARES about the '07's? Not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck 2.5GT Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I want to go order one right now. I emailed my local dealership, asking if canada gets them. He will get back to me. Technically they should be arriving late may / early june right? That is around the time that they usually come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'll drive by SIA this weekend to see if I can spy any...if not I have a good friend that works on the Tribeca line he'll know what the schedule is. My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck 2.5GT Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Subaru of Canada usually does a lot of the press vehicles for North America. They had a 2006 STi 2 or 3 months before we first saw pictures of it, according to one of the SOC guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Is it just me or is the new stereo/CC kinda ugly? Perhaps, but the better question is the A/C and the radio still one unit If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
