SubieDriver 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........ Well, the Liberty tuned by STI in Australia is very similar to the Japanese version, but they also appear to get a short-throw shifter and an ECU tune (Oh, and I forgot to mention the 18" custom wheels): http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/13/australia-gets-limited-run-subaru-liberty-gt-tuned-by-sti/ Since the rumor is that the Legacy and Outback STI models will be announced at SEMA, maybe we'll get an ECU tune too... <crosses fingers> ...and, yes, the official name is long, but "Legacy STI" will do. (one thing we probably won't see: Japanese and Aussie versions get the McIntosh stereo. Not much chance we'll see that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nothing too surprising in there... wagons don't sell here and they do in Europe. Oh well... BMW and Audi are ok with 5% of a line making up sales of wagons. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

SubieDriver Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 No kidding... sell what you can to whoever wants it... Maybe SOA should get a clue and try the same thing. Instead, they sell whatever they THINK the market wants instead of what the market really wants. They're coming around though... Spec.B and "tuned by STI" are good signs.

LegGTLT Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Most likely. I would wait to deal on these for a bit. Especially since it's just gonna drop so quickly once the '09's come out.

Yeah, but the '09s will drop like a rock when the '10 refresh comes along, so you might wanna wait 'til then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieDriver Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I know this is OT, but,... I just got my AccessPort!! Whoohoo! :spin: Flashed Stage 2 - 93 octane last night. That'll stave off my desire for an '08 Legacy tuned by STI for a little while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I finally saw an 08 Legacy GT sedan... Wow, I like it a lot. VERY nice and classy now. Looks more European than anything else. I also really like how its a tad shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 No, I don't have any good pics, but I saw the bronze colored GT, and while not "me", it's not bad looking at all IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ehhh... you mentioned " '08 Legacy " so it was on topic. I threw that last sentence in as an afterthought, just before clicking "submit". I'm glad to know it qualified as on-topic... I've been doing some thinking about the Legacy "tuned by STI"... When I first started reading about it, the rumor was that we might see it in 2010, and at first I really wanted one, but now I'm not so sure. It won't have any engine changes (though possibly an ECU tune), which means it will be pretty easy to surpass it with add-ons to my current Legacy. Since I now have the AccessPort, I think I'll go for a Megan Racing cat-back in the near future, and that should be enough to tide me over until the Legacy model change in 2010 (since that was when I initially expected the "tuned by STI" in the first place). Has anybody heard whether or not the "tuned by STI" for the US will be in limited numbers like in Japan and Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 ^ I don't know if I'd even want the 3.0L. There are plenty of other motors out there that are more fuel efficient than that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
