DJJ Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Unit 91 and SoDealer on Nasioc are well known for their inside info. Also Jon [inCT] seems to post insider info too. So when i see one of those three post either here or on Nasioc I think its a pretty good source of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJJ Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 No problem. Hey I could be wrong but after reading on Nasioc for almost 4yrs now these guys seem to have the info when it comes to new models and what not. They like to tease us with nuggets of info on new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to tease us with nuggets of info on new models. They are cock teases I'll give them that. I'm trying to coax more info out myself. Everyone over there is saying the rumor is confirmed pretty much and we should be happy. Well, that's great and all, but WHAT is exactly confirmed? A "Tuned by STI" model with WHAT on it? Sounds like SPT performance pack but thats it. I just want someone to tell us what it is and then we can spend the next 6 months arguing about it. Why introduce the model mid year? Obviously because this original release of models BLOWS and they need something midyear to perk interest in their line again. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

Natheya Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 New to the Subaru seen pardon my newbishness. Quick question though. Are the models being displayed on the Subaru global site what we are expecting for the US 08 models? I really like them and cannot wait to get my hands on one. http://www.subaru-global.com/legacy_specb_s.html Thats a great looking car. It does not look anything like the 07 available around here. I hope its available this year. Any info would be helpful.. I have been looking around and have not found anything concrete yet. Thanks in advance!

Yes, the '07 models you see in other markets will be what you'll see in the US in '08 (not all trim levels will make it here, but that's the body style we'll see).

SubieDriver Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hmm, just went to the link, and don't see any 2.5s at all. Some differences between what's listed there and what we get: Instead of 2.0 we get 2.5 We also get 2.5 turbo Our Spec.B is a 2.5 turbo rather than a 3.0 Up 'til now, our only 3.0 was an Outback. For '08, we're getting 3.0R. Our only wagons are Outbacks (keep an eye out for that Outback STI that's rumored though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepclam Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 SOA what a bunch of freakin morons 6 versions of the 2.5 i versus 4 versions of the GT. Do you think the turbo Subarus outsell normally aspirated Subarus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 No. I believe that is why there's so many variations of the 2.5i w/ its multiple trim lines. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanders Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Everyone over there is saying the rumor is confirmed pretty much and we should be happy. There is no rumor over there. People are talking about what they want but no one makes an informed post that anything is actually coming. I made a similar comment in that thread.

LegGTLT Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was speaking more along the lines of Unit 91 and some other dude. They won't "confirm" but won't "deny" but continue to say something IS coming. At least the Unit guy does. I think it's stupid, but they have said something will be coming but no specifics. This is one of his many posts on the mystery Z coded Legacy and Outback that does not appear on the 08 list as of now. It doesn't mean that there is a 'z' in the name. It does imply a trim level higher than what is currently listed. So... what I'm saying is something exists above what has been put on the '08 listing. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

SLegacy99 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 So Im wondering about the 3.0L coming into the Legacy. We know that the Outbacks have different AWD systems than the Legacy and that this affects gas mileage. So do you think Subaru will be lazy and have the same system has the 3.0R Outback or have a system of that in the Legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah, now that I think about it the 3.0R has its own setup. Guess I was thinking how the Outback 2.5i has a different AWD system than the Legacy 2.5i. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyss Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Is it different or Outback adds rear LSD, the rest is the same? Krzys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 08 GT ltd. sdn M 3415 FTW This is only like 10 lbs more than the '05s so that's good. IMO the 80 more lbs for the automatic w/ VDC makes makes it even easier for me to accept that the MT doesn't have VDC, I don't know if it would simply be another 5 lbs if the MT had VDC, though.

Been shopping for a new car for about 5 months now... Been looking for stability control, AWD, power, MT and something under or around 30k.. Guess I am gonna keep saving for a Spec.B.. MazdaSpeed6 doesnt do it for me. Its too bad the GT doesnt offer VDC with a manual transmission. I was looking foward to buying that. I just think the Spec.B is a tad pricey. Bring it down a few notches and I would consider.. I have one down to 32k but still with 5% sales tax, destination and documentation fees etc. I am back up to 34k. I can wait a bit longer...

NovaWolverine Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm in basically the same position for you. I really, really wanted VDC if you couldn't already tell by some of my other posts. I'd be all over a spec b, but it's just a tad too high right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4wantab Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Why the requirement for VDC? We all have our reasons, just curious. I find the MT subbie system so much better balanced than the AT system, do you really need it? I am sure in extreme situations in would help, but I have also heard it is slow to respond. I have never driven in one with it so I really do not know first-hand. I know my ABS is fair in response, not great. so I don't see how the VDC would be much different.
