gt_ltd Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/outback/utility/01/08/imgs/p1.jpg Cargo fan: pets (mainly dogs). Many Legacy wagon owners in Japan bought a wagon just so they have somewhere to put the dog when travelling. Middle button: Power folding mirrors. Something that is absolutely necessary in Tokyo because of the size of parking lots.

gt_ltd Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 repsonse.jp claims body/chassis of refreshed Legacy has been reinforced, mainly in the area where mainframe and upper frame are adjoined. Also, rigidity of sidesill and front suspension area has increased. http://response.jp/issue/2006/0529/article82268_1.images/113757.jpg 18" aluminium wheel http://response.jp/issue/2006/0529/article82268_1.images/113756.jpg The goal, according to Subaru engineer, is to increase steering response and stability.

gt_ltd Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 i am starting to like the new round shifter. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix96 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 i am starting to like the new round shifter. There are elements of the update that are growing on me. The shifter surround doesn't seem quite so bad anymore. But I still hate the SI-drive knob and just about everything related to it (hate that little display too) and the fact that the cupholders can't be covered up anymore. And the way the radio and HVAC have been uglified. And I dislike most of the new gauge styles. The 05/06 LGT electroluminescent gauges are just about perfect. phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 you never know what the usdm models will be like until they are out. i, on the other hand, will have to live with those giant cup holders since i am moving to asia next month. i just hope STi will release a S402.

phoenix96 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 you never know what the usdm models will be like until they are out. That's true. The problem is, we already know what they've done to the USDM MY2007, and it includes the ugly stereo and SI-drive. phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenshin Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I popped wood after going through this entire thread. I MUST/WILL trade for a '08 turbo wagon (always wanted the wagon, i just dont like the way it looks now as is) in all black with those sexy new exterior and interior changes. Thank you Subaru!

kjnorman Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 One thing I notice about the 08, is that the center arm rest is not really useable. It is tucked back between the teo front seats, so unless it slides forward somehow, I so not really see how you use it apart from storage. The SI dial looks like a gimmick to me. Afterall, once you have found your desired setting how often are you going to change it. They should move the cup holders forward - which afterall are going to get used a lot, and extend the center arm rest so that it is actually usable. Then move the SI dial to a location where after you have played with it a little you can forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 5000 a month in Japan... Legacy does that in the US, as long as you count the 4/5ths share of Outbacks! This pic is great. I LOVE the inset red ring. very cool. I hope the US version has this, but I am doubting it from pictures in other threads. http://response.jp/issue/2006/0529/article82266_1.images/113749.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligent drive showed 100mph at 2k RPMS! Thanks for the link to the video. Regarding the tach shots, if you are talking about the SI Drive video, the only tach I saw was 3.5krpm at 130kph. Maybe I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 *those Tach shots have to be fake... Intelligent drive showed 100mph at 2k RPMS! Are you sure that that wasn't 100 KPH??? That would only be 62mph. 2krpms might be a little low for a manual trans, but probably not too far off on a 5EAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It is 100 Km...or 62mph tach is ~2700 Did anyone notice the gas km/L (mpg) gallon needle in the speedo...ala BMW? My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
