Billy Dagwood Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I hope this isn't a repost, but the SoA site has pics up of the 2008 USDM Leggy. I have to say I think the JDM and EDM versions really wear the redesign better (ahem, bumpers). http://www.subaru.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. pepper Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 So SOA finally is putting an H6 into a leggy. The 08's are now the one to have and to mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 No problem . I just did some research and it seems the Legacy 3.0R has the JDM 2.0(R, I, and all their little variants) bumper. http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/b4/exterior/01/ -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I don't see any mention of a turbo anywhere. It could just as easily mean the H6 replaces the turbo 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 So SOA finally is putting an H6 into a leggy. The 08's are now the one to have and to mod.

godwhomismike Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Let me get this strait - ALL '08 GT and 3.0R Legacys are going to come with 18" wheels? If I decide to trade in my '05 for one, I'm gonna push for 17's off of another car and order a set of 225/50/17 tires for it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMac1203 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Honestly, it's a nice car, BUT it just reminds me a Fast & Furious version of the present model. To me, IMHO, the front grill reminds me of a Saturn for some odd reason...Like I said, it's nice, but it's TOO sporty. I almost want to say that it's over-done. Am I alone? Edit: Is this Subaru's way of marketing to a younger age? Because I know that right now the Legacy's are marketed to the older more slowed down crowd.... Need a CarPC bezel? PM me!

axis008 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think you are alone. Everyone is still saying it looks ugly and boring and not sporty enough.. I am not saying it's ugly or boring.. I think it looks good, but personally I don't think it looks sporty enough. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a nice car. But a Legacy is a Legacy. It's not a WRX and isn't intended to be. Are they trying to hit a new audience? Why all this new Jazz? I don't know, I just think it looks like a car meant for F&F IV. Too aggressive for my tastes, but then again, I'm into the European cars with smooth lines... Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Can they bolt any more crap to the steering wheel? It's to steer with!! Look at the first pic up there -- waaay too many controls for one wheel. From the Winding Road article: "The driver selects the performance mode by using a rotary dial on the center console or, newly added for 2008, a button on the steering wheel." Yep, that knob near your right hand is just too far to go to make that adjustment. Better give 'em another option on the steering wheel. And finally, I don't see how or why the H6 is considered "premium" or more powerful than the turbo 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 My point exactly, users above mentioned that I am alone in my dislikings for the vehicle. To me, it looks like a Legacy marketed to a 16 year old. I thought that was what the WRX was for.........The Legacy has never been a young car, which is why it is priced out of that range. Why are we Bling'ing out the Legacy for 2008, is their some holiday that I don't know about? Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VXCL Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 love this interior http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/5534/2008lgtanw1.jpg but hate the exterior. i could not buy that. i could easily keep my 05 and give subie one last chance to get it right for 10 or 11. that is hideous. the 07 jdms are on the money as usual.
