flatsphere Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hi all, I was in Japan last month for business and only had 30 minutes to run down to a Subaru dealership in Tokyo and take a few snap shots. Note that the seating areas and door panels are the same as the current models. One of the big improvements is the sport shift paddles. They appear to be made of cast metal and have a solid feel when shifting. Also note the SI Sport # (sharp) button on the steering wheel... that's a nice touch when you don't want to let your hands off the wheel during spirited driving. Overall this looks like a more polished vehicle with some higher quality plastics on the console and better finish. I may just have to trade in my 05 OBXT next year. Cheers!

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I like the new grill (already bought it, waiting for it, hehe), but not the new bumper. Rev. C JDM SpecB bumper FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I love it! Does the B4 have the same power as the GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I love it! Does the B4 have the same power as the GT? AFAIK B4 is an alternate name for JDM GT sedan. It has JDM 2.0L twinscroll turbo engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 But I really don't dig the cupholders. They distract from the clean look of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Oh look the MOMO is back on the steering wheel! Yeah, but the wheel looks cluttered. All audio controls on one side, the other side empty. WTF? Plus this fat cc controls below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerMan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Are those paddle shifters for a real SMG or lame manumatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 That grill bolts on to the USDM LGT's? Looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I dont think it bolts on to the USDM bumper... I think Unclemat is running the JDM spec.b bumper that he mentioned. It has taller grille opening. I will also be doing the spec.b bumper and this grille at some point in the near future...

Underdog Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 No JDM SpecB bumper yet. Starting collecting parts. Grill first. LOL It would bolt to USDM OB bumper though. Ya gotta start somewhere...

aaykay Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Any word about the transmission? Paddle shifters would only mean an Automatic (manumatic with Torque Converter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerMan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Okay. I didn't know if there was some sort of possibility of a Ferrari or BMW style SMG coming over from Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy_Otaku Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hey Flatsphere, Thanks for the pix and info on the new LGT! Much appreciated . Yah, I love the front, but agree that the Steering Wheel & Interior is getting kinda... all over the place. 2005 FTW . BTW, did you see any of the limited / new "Legacy by STi" models around the showroom? I'd LOVE to see more pix of that and any other upgrades it has . Peace~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
