ama0787 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 This is the legacy(or liberty)from down under I assume close to our spec B but I cant be sure. I sure would like to see the differences listed. The interior looked like real brushed aluminum at first to me that I thought was cool but then I realized it was just 1 piece. I do really like the exhaust I also am curious about the lateral sti rear links it mentions and the front strut tower bar that I am sure would be nice for my own car if not all the parts I mentioned. Anyway I thought some of you guys might like to look. Although if my history on this forum has taught me anything ill be mocked for not realizing this link has been posted before and told I should have searched before posting hopefull someone like it though http://www.subdriven.com/news/publish/Subaru_News/article_406.shtml edit I think I forgot to mention the pirellis not sure if they are better or not but different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhabodav Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 That.....is depressing....cause I want that, well, my car could visually pass for an STI considering i have that spoiler (replica) and I have twintips (MR CBE) but I am missing the rims, and front lip spoiler. And ofcourse the goodies under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhabodav Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 WTF SOA... Why are we letting the Aussies constantly kick our asses? Cause australian people have enough balls to first say, "this is the most dangerous snake/shark/croc/lizard/scorpion in the world," then say,"...........now lets take a closer look," then touch the thing, and play with it like its a 2 month old kitten.....

ama0787 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 zahbodav Do your twin tips say sti on them? If they do does it make the car much louder than the factory exhaust? Also I never saw a clear pic of those wheels where di you guys see one at? Anyone know if that is the same suspension on our spec B's? I am also trying to find out if we have those end links already installed on our spec B's I am assuming not but hoping they are on there. If anyone can answer any of these questions please post. TIA, Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd... I get depressed again. It's so sad to read stuff like this: “The Liberty GT Tuned by STI is the result of customer feedback, our strong relationship with Fuji Heavy Industries and Subaru Tecnica International in Japan, and the commitment and skill of our Australian engineering and development team based in Sydney and at Subaru Interactive @ Docklands in Melbourne. “The team from FHI spent time in Australia working with the Subaru Australia engineering and motor sport team to produce a variant developed especially for the Australian market, and I believe we have come up with a very exciting and appealing package. WTF!?!??!!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!? Where's our customer feedback going? Oh that's right... Samir reads it and sends back the same f'n response everytime... "Thanks for writing. We have taken note on your ideas and believe me, we plan on doing absolutely nothing about it. Thanks again!" Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

IwannaSportSedan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Notice that is says, strong relationship with FHI and Subaru Technica International in Japan. They do not say Subaru of America. Considering what is available overseas, and even in Canada (aside from crazy pricing), the problem seems to be firmly rooted in SOA, in New Jersey. incidently, that is probably where Samir works, and gets told to blow us off by people higher than him. The people who canned the manual transmission Legacy wagon, and decided to offer the top end Legacy Spec B in only one configuration and color, for lots of extra money. I don't think this is a problem in other markets. It is a problem in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabydanimal Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really think the problem with SOA is that they are reactive no proactive. Their marketing is absolutely terrible so nobody drives their cars. All they do is market studies to see who is buying what and only make those cars. Ditch the Spec B. How about you offer a Legacy STi, Sedan and Wagon and make a few commercials like the old WRX ads? Those were fantastic. Show the wagon tearing it up along side the sedan, people will buy them! I've said it before and I'll say it again: SOA WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Same problem we all seem to have here in America. We want to listen to no one but ourselves. We are right you are not.

I think WE as a site need to be more proactive too, cause I'll admit we do a lot of bitching on here without any results. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

Guest Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Eh, perhaps we should do the rally to Cherry Hill... also write a letter and send it to the new ceo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegGTLT Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I would like to somehow MAKE sure it's heard, whatever we say. Would writing a letter to the CEO actually ever get read by him??? I honestly don't know. I would just like the CEO, or anyone ABOVE Samir , to read what the Nick guy from Australia said: We have a good relationship with FHI and we listen to our customers. That's all I ask. Listen to us and develop a relationship with FHI so you have access to what's going on outside the USA. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

frank112916 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 just so you guys no the difference in power isn't that great (all of about 25 horsepower which translates to 20 WHP)... It's mostly just cosmetic differences and apparently some different handling characteristics. Nothing major. It's not like a WRX compared to an STI...

zhabodav Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well why dont we do a rally then in cherry hill, and have banner and protest saying, "we want sti", "we want commercials", "we want 07's to stop having WOT problems", "We want manual Wagons" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
