Guest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm working with a dealer on bringing some Canadian Legacy Wagon over....is there any interest? The interest will be there, it's the question of price. I guess it won't be low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'd be interested to see what they can do. I've talked to a Subbie Dealer before in Canada and they admit they have a waaaaaaay overpriced product but SOC controls that, not the individual dealer. He told me if customers say they can get a US spec Subbie (trying to bargain basically) he just tells them go for it cause he can't compete on price AT ALL. The spec.B they had was $46,800 CAD with NO markup, that's MSRP up there. An '07 GT MT Wagon starts at $42k CAD, which is about $35.5k UDS. Invoice that down to say $32k or so (pretending it's cost structure is similar to the US spec.B) and you have an idea of where you're at. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

Jon in CT Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I still want more 8AZ info! It'll be called Legacy Tuned by STI. It'll use the same engine calibrations as the spec.B so that it can use the same EPA type certification, in the same way that the JDM Legacy Tuned by STI produces the same power as the JDM Legacy spec.B. I expect different/better mufflers, springs, brakes, wheels and, perhaps, a unique exterior color. I expect it will debut at SEMA this year, at the end of October. I also expect people here to whine about how it's not worth the extra money. I think the more interesting car will be the 8DZ, the Outback Tuned by STI.

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 the question would be "how much" for all the stuff listed, and what color. It's only not worth the extra money if it isn't worth the extra money. The complaints about the spec B are well founded, even if the Spec B does have some nice attributes, and is a nice car. More boneheaded thinking won't help the STI tuned Legacy. Smart product planning, good options, and a reasonable price WILL help it. I am not sure that SOA has the credentials and track record for us to "take it on faith." Do we dare go back into the list of SOA's recent boneheaded moves from the last few years? or the just released Impreza? Do we need to compare the US Legacy to the rest of the world again? I think that road has been well traveled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, I wanna know what price this new trim level would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaWolverine Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm thinking 2k over the spec b. so definitely out of my price range right now and even closer to a 335i. I bet it looks great though, I still feel like the LGT 5MT is a good buy, if I could afford to go higher I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the extra money? Depends on what people want. For those interested in handling, maybe so. For those interested primarily in acceleration... $5K-6K more than a 2.5GT and the same performance?

LegGTLT Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 OT: Ari_OutbackWagon- You thinking of coming to the Alki meet on Sat? Iwanna- Thanks buddy! I don't think that the STI will be $2k over. Take away NAV and you have $2k to spend. What, $800 for SPT exhaust and $200 for SPT Intake and that's MSRP right? So, then you have a $1000 left for brakes. I know that's not a lot but at least if it's without NAV you're doing better right there... Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

I know that's not a lot but at least if it's without NAV you're doing better right there... Since the "tuned by STI' model is based on the Spec.B, you still have NAV. You get everything the Spec.B has, then add: Brembo brakes STI Front strut-tower brace STI Sway bar STI mufflers STI springs STI guages STI seats Take a look here: http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/legacytunedbysti/catalog/utility/index.html So, add the price of all those to the Spec.B price, and you'll have a good idea of MSRP for the 2008 Legacy GT Spec.B tuned by STI.

LegGTLT Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 But that's Japan. Are we SURE that SOA is going to do the same thing? They hardly ever replicate anything from Japan, I wish they did. SOA seems to prefer to give us watered down crap. Is it really going to have the outrageous of a long name? Not so excited anymore........ Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.
