chenc544 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 <Desired retail price < consumer tax it includes >> () Consumer tax it is not included, (the unit: Circle) Model Price Body color [regashiitsuringuwagon] tuned by STI 6MT 4,116,000 (3,920,000) WR blue mica [rigaruburu] pearl [daiyamondogure] metallic Sport shift E-5AT 4,116,000 (3,920,000) [regashii] B4 tuned by STI 6MT 3,979,500 (3,790,000) Sport shift E-5AT 3,979,500 (3,790,000) Looks like the MSRP for the 6MT/5EAT Wagon is $34k USD before tax and the 6MT/5EAT B4 Sedan is $33k USD. The regular 6MT 2.0GT Spec B in japan is only $26k USD so I would think if SOA brings over the LGT STI it would be over $40k USD... I like the above color. Can anybody tell if it's the left or middle one in the following page? I think that's the left one. The paint chip looks a lot like the Carbon Blue that my Toyota Celica was.

IwannaSportSedan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The sedan illustration looks black to me. I would hit either one of those blue colors. I have a hard time thinking that a WRB Legacy would look bad. Black accents would help it look a bit more classy, and break up the mono-tone a bit, but still... Even the dark blue looks good. Too bad 07 USDM relegated Regal Blue to the 2.5i only. Two blue colors, and full black (even pillars and headliner) with red stitched seats interior. Are you listening SOA? that looks SOO much sportier and sexier than blue/taupe. I do wish this STI Tuned car were available in the US, in the current price bracket of the USDM Spec B. The USDM Spec B should add 18" wheels, and Bilsteins/specific springs/swaybars/aluminum arms to the LGT Limited, similar to a sport option package, NAV separately optional. The STI-tuned car then could add to that the STI-actual springs, BBS wheels, STI bits, NAV (if it must), black Alcantara seat centers, black headliner, Dual tip STI mufflers, brembos, 6MT/Torsen, etc. and the stuff the Spec B currently lords over the GT Limited.

chenc544 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 The sedan illustration looks black to me. Here is my old Carbon Blue Celica. It actually looks black from a distance until you walk up to it. When it was new the paint looks even darker... I think that STI sedan is about the same shade. http://home.comcast.net/~chenc544/Celica1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~chenc544/Celica2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt_ltd Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think that's the left one. You are right. It actually says so in the picture.. The middle one is Regal Blue Pearl, right one is WRB. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm almost glad it's not available here because I doubt I could afford it and I know I'd be jealous. What I don't get is why they got the dual tipped exaust perfect (IMO), but none of the aftermaket options available to us can seem to get the tips tucked up that far? Could their cutout be different?

Could their cutout be different? That's an updated body style so I would assume the panels are different than curren USDM LGT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapeowrath Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 curious to know what price you are willing to pay for a leggy sti Fair question. To tell the truth, I'd be ecstatic if SOA brought this at a price point comparable to Pat GT's estimate. I'd expect it to be sub 40 and deliver the goods to justify (it's beautiful but, motor, suspension, brakes, etc, need to remain undiluted and no Pinocchio treatment on our bumbers).

SWP-LegacyGT Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 If I had reasonable assurances that this car is coming to the US, undilluted, for 2008, I would hold off and save another year, and buy a cheap runabout instead of a Legacy GT sooner. Black interior with red stitching, and charcoal console trim (CF would be teh win... I'll bet it will show up aftermarket) darkish blue paint. 18" BBSs, bilsteins, 6MT... HAWT. What is the name of that color? it is not as light as Newport/Atlantic blue, and it doesn't look as absolutely dark as Regal... THIS should be the 07 USDM spec B, aside from maybe black 05-07 USDM headlights, tail lights. Even with the black, diamond gray, blue color choice. A member in another thread mentions that the Tuned by STI car is a similar price, converted to dollars, as the spec b, perhaps even about a thousand dollars cheaper. HAWT, HAWT, HAWT, HAWT, HAWT, HAWT, HAWT!!! And I really like the chrome only STI badge on the back... hopefully that will be available via importers... If you buy an '07 GT I will shoot you and ban you from this forum. Just wait ONE MORE YEAR and we'll be getting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know it.... My wife is getting upset with me. She is past the point of annoyance, and now just wants me to get a car and stop talking about it. Kinda like all of you here, ironically. What I may do, is get an 05 or 06 for a good low price, and in 1.5-2 years, upgrade to über-Legacy, IF we get this. I am not laying bets that SOA will sell us this car, or something like it. IF the current drought of used Legacys in this area (500 mile radius) continues, I'll ether HAVE to get a new 07 Legacy GT, or ship a used one half way across the country. In which case, Opie's for-sale LGT is looking really good, if I have to ship. With Brembos and Spec-B Bilsteins and 18" prodrives... it isn't so far off of an STI-tuned car...
