Sunra Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Dealer just called and said there's no diamond grey metallic Spec B's available anywhere and the Indiana factory will have one ready in 6-8 weeks. Be still my beating heart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think black would be my next choice. Unless waiting 6-8 weeks is okay for you. I don't have that kind of patience yet. There is a black one at my local dealer in Rochester, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a black one at my local dealer in Rochester, NY. Unfortunately in Canada, where I live, it's only available in two colours, the grey and an 'alpine white'; and the dealer has three available on the lot in white only. Go figure! If they're building it in Indiana you'd think I'd be able to get a few colour choices like you have in the States, but no...! I'm just not fussy over white, maybe it looks better in the summer. In the winter here, I can't see the car for all the snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Tonik Motorsports seems to have a decent rep they used to have a car in the Canadian Rally Championship and I know they set up rally cross events. They give pretty good rates for installs and I've never heard people complain about one of their tunes yet. IIRC, Tonik is pretty adamant on data logging and good on making any revisions. I really like that pearl white on the 08+ cars. Although, DGM is such a nice colour:wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xclomo Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 My only complaint with my 08 Spec.B is the Potenza tires that came on it suck in the snow. Luckily I still have a '98 Outback to drive when it snows until I can afford some different tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're supposed to be good. Anyone know anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know anything about them? nah, I got the Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S A/S tires on my stock spec.b rims.

I'm going back to the dealer lot this afternoon just to take another quick look at that pearl white they have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassa Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The experience and the thrill never gets old. Even though there are a several cars in my father's household, a couple which are rather exotic, I still enjoy driving the Legacy GT the most out of all of them. And it's also a head turner among chicks too =) I'm 18 and girls never get tired of the car =) Oh it's a head turner all right - I'm sure the chicks are actually thinking - "check out that kid thinking he's cool in his grandfather's Camry" :lol:. Don't get me wrong - I love mine but the biggest appeal to buying one almost 4yrs ago was that hardly anyone had one around here and even less even knew what it was......the ultimate sleeper.
