gtguy Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 [quote name='waflowers'][quote name='Drift Monkey']Keep waitng then. Everyone else will be driving. :P[/quote] And I'll keep on driving my (slightly modded) '97 GT, which isn't a bad car at all.

I'll be curious to see what happens. I would also be surprised if Subaru did something sooner than a year or so, to keep from complicating things for buyers, after having just introduced the new car. It's also weird that magazines and websites, who are usually so up on such things, are so in the dark compared to Mastro. When and if the rumored performance Legacy does come, I'll be sure to wave at them from my silver GT wagon. :D I'd also wonder if Subaru is planning to stack stuff such as leather, sunroof, nav, etc onto the "Big Boy." It's all going to be interesting, but such a halo car for the Legacy lineup could be all part of Subaru's "re-branding" strategy. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Yeah, I am going to be more than happy with the performance in my GT. If I am not, there are always a few tweaks that can be done that will not effect the life of my baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford it, go for it. If not, wait. It's simple really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hmm- IMO, these cars are expensive enough- I'm not waiting for a new model that costs even more. Then again, I'm a cheap bastid! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Monkey Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ok jedi, I get it. No need to try to Drift Monkey your excitement! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ahahaha- you have your own terminology now! I actually changed the order this morning to the Outback XT Limited because I want the ride height/ fender flares. I'll still have the electroluminescent gauges though, but I'll have to trade the crappy wood interior pieces for standard Legacy fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 So you really needed the extra ride height that badly? Easier to run over kids I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I like riding up a little higher- that way I can drag you farther ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 What does ride height have to do with dragging me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 [quote name='Drift Monkey']What does ride height have to do with dragging me?[/quote] That's a good question.. maybe he is planing on pulling a good fella's on you :lol: By the way, congrats on the order. I know you will love your outback.. there were more than a couple of us that were thinking about going down that path! What color did you opt for? RED?!?! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I went with the silver/darker silver on the bottom. I'm not a fan of red and the only other color I'd want is black- but no more black cars- too hard to keep clean- my last 3 cars were black- I guess you do go back once you go black :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Is that what they say? I went black with the WRX (not by choice) and I AM going back! I agree...too hard to keep clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yeah- but most cars do look great in black. The only car I've owned that didn't look good in black was my GTP- that car had a lot of nice lines and the dark color hid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
