gibjer Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Copied from NASIOC Some amateur photos of unmasked (sort of) new Legacy from Japan: http://tinypic.com/zk6a2e refreshed headlights http://tinypic.com/zk6bk9 Foglights look good~ http://tinypic.com/zk6bsk Combination lamp http://tinypic.com/zk6c0l Other side http://tinypic.com/zk6cd4 New wheels on GT http://tinypic.com/zk6ck5 Hmm http://tinypic.com/zk6cqs New grill (There are 2 styles) http://tinypic.com/zk6cyc Another grill shot http://tinypic.com/zk6d5z Brochure (spec.B gets honeycomb mesh grill/bumper/wheels) http://tinypic.com/zkfxc1 JP magazine cover In addition to SI-DRIVE, it sounds like the engines have been tweaked. Max torque is now at 2000rpm, 400rpm lower than current Legacy GT/B4. The six cylinder's max torque doesnt change, but its stronger at ~3,000rpm. Gas mileage should improve by a bit, ~10%. Overall it seems like Subaru is still intent on being particular on evolving its cars.

mach_six Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Doesn't seem to be much of a overhaul. Damn that badge is big. those wheels looks like larger versions of the ones on the WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2Board Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Looks like they "Imprezaed" the lower front facia, at least it's not the new corporate mug like the Tribeca and Impreza. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I really like the spec B. The blue one kind of resembles the new audi RS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy_y_tu Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Looks like the rear windows come tinted. I wish mine came tinted from the factory, that way I'd be legal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I really like the spec B. The blue one kind of resembles the new audi RS4 Never thought of it like the RS4, but now that you mention it, I'll have to agree! BTW guys, these is the JDM refresh. Maybe '07 JDM... So maybe '08 USDM huh? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallschirmjaeger Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (sigh)...that's the rear bumper we need for USDM wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlrtime Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Interesting, I like the new looks. We can't assume these will make it over here though. The rear of the wagon with the chrome line mixed with the reverse lights looks hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamie700 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (sigh)...that's the rear bumper we need for USDM wagons. +1, its amazing how a shorter bumper can make it look much sportier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantal Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It's great to see these pics, but really, a black car is pretty far less than ideal for making out the new lines? those wheels look ASS! God, what were they thinking? Judging by the prices the 5-spokers are fetching, those 08 GT wheels will probably sell here on LGT.com for about $300 a set with tires. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Looks like the rear windows come tinted. I wish mine came tinted from the factory, that way I'd be legal . +1 I'd like unscratchable tint on my wagon. I don't like the grille- it looks like it melted or something. I do like the taillights and headlights though- but it's not enough of a change for me to want to put them on my 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Very nice. It's nice to see that they didn't make drastic changes (since the current model looks pretty good). It's definitely an evolutionary change, which is very appropriate in this segment - it's still clearly a Legacy. I like the aggressive look of the Spec B. That makes it look much more appealing to me. For the current Spec B, I didn't think there was enough visual distinction from the GT. Now there is. It looks more aggressive, which is what it needed. Yep, I'm definitely saving for the '08 Spec B. Is it Fall '07 yet? Why won't these months go by faster?!? Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantal Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 That spec B wagon, with a 6mt and no NAV, would VERY significantly affect my 2007 car purchase plans - was planning to replace my A4 with the RX-8, or an excellent example of a 2004 330Ci, assuming I could find one. However that Spce B wagon looks goddamn attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Simpletons Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I like it - it's too bad that's not the bumper we'll get over here on the USDM. '08 Spec-B should be a hot car for sure. Hopefully with a few color choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The new front bumper looks awesome, kinda M3'ish (similar to 05's but without the verticle bar) and splitter-style lip only right in front of the fogs...looks great! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm not so sure I like the shape of the headlights or the grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The headlights look somewhat weird to me and the non Spec B grill is butt ugly, but I like the overall change for the foglights/front bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 don't like the grill's "wing" as well...and the plasticy looking fog surrounds are great, the headlights need some contrasting colors...but besides that..the front looks good (I guess my front ain't bad ) In Taiwan now...
