Dr. Zevil Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 you can tell those are craptastic because the LTD. prices are 3g's above the standard GT.. that's waaaaay tooo much over the standard GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 They're in my estimated ballpark or close overall. Limited might be a hair high, but otherwise I'd say probably pretty close if they aren't the real ones. Difference in FXT + 5MT to FXT Premium + 4AT = $2,550 IIRC. If the sunroof is abscent on base GT, that pricing may be doable. GT difference: $2,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 That does seem alot for just power seats, leather, and a moonroof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-attraction Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I thought the trip computer was going to be standard on the Limited trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtguy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 [quote name='Sub-attraction']I thought the trip computer was going to be standard on the Limited trim.[/quote] According to published specs, trip computer is standard on GTs, and Limited trim lines (including 2.5i).

ha-evolution Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 If they didn't mean navigation $900 is a rip off for the trip computer even if it wasn't supposed to be standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I did a quick check of other markets. The trip computer is standard across all lines, even the 2.0 normally aspirated models. I know that the USDM is different, but I find it hard to believe that SOA would charge $900 for something that is standard, even on a Legacy with 16" wheels and wheel covers, in other markets. Hence, taking it all with a big grain of salt. I talked to my dealer last night, and even he doesn't know pricing. I doubt that somebody on NASIOC would be more tied in than the top-selling Subaru dealership in the Chicagoland area. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 This from the Subaru press release about the 2005 Legacy GT: Key Standard Features (Legacy 2.5 GT) 17-inch alloy wheels 215/45 R17 all-season tires 120-watt AM/FM stereo with 6-disc in-dash CD changer and six speakers All-Weather Package with 4-stage heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer <<Combination digital clock and trip computer>> Cruise control Now, the press release says that specs are "preliminary," but I find it hard to imagine that it would be an upcharge, particularly since trip computer is standard on all the Outback models which, by the by, look verrrry nice. Those 225-55-17 tires are honking, too. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtguy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 And then there's this, from the Subaru News Room: <<The gauge panel is augmented in all models by a combination digital clock and trip computer, located in the center of the dashboard. Some of its functions and displays include outside air temperature, fuel consumption, remaining driving distance, estimated driving time, and a passenger airbag on/off indicator light.>> Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2x Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 So what's so great about a trip computer? What are the typical features of one? I don't know anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Average fuel economy and miles to empty are the most useful features IMO. The outside ambient temp isn't actually a feature of the trip computer but is nice to have anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
