Eblues70 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Makes me like the Impreza even more, but I will drive my 06 Spec B until the wheels fall off. Then replace them and continue on smartly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWD_Rules3830 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 IDK, guys ... The car def. looks like excutive sports sedan .. but it also just looks like it is mad at you ... I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWD_Rules3830 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The Mazda 6 looks amazing too ... I see this new Subaru and the first thing that pops in my head is Nissan ... Hopefully they will restyle this disaster after a year because it looks horrible. Its really just the headlights ... this car would be flat out amazing if they tone them down. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Bye bye dual exhausts bye bye unique subaru look  look closely at the rear pictures on autoblog, theres a cutout for the second muffler on the right.  keep in mind guys, it seems like you're only looking at released pictures of the 2.5i (base model) who knows what the 2.5GT and 3.6R will have included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Center diff replacement Dashboard replacement Pedal setup replacement Master cylinder replacement Fuel injection set-up replacement That's just off the top of my head..... I hope you realize you tend to get more problems with the first year of a new design . . . same mistake twice???

AWD_Rules3830 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok this is my impression ... The 05-09 Legacy GT was simply amazing because it was really the last true "drivers" sports sedan you could buy. Â Look at the interior ... the control panel is now flat instead of facing the driver like it should. The seats make the car look like a boring sedan and not something more hugging of the passengers. The dash also looks a lot higher and more SUVish ... not what i want in a sports car. Â IDK i just .... don't like it ... I love my car ... basically.

SoldonSubie Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I hope you realize you tend to get more problems with the first year of a new design . . . same mistake twice???   Yes, you do have a point there. Still, with all of those problems I don't regret my current ride.  Advantage is with the new one all potential problems would be covered under warranty and my dealer was great at getting me into a Subaru loaner when the repairs were done.

Once you figure out that they dont different body (minus the hood scoop for LGT SpecB) wise then why would you think the new generation would be any different?

GTWILLY Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I save my opinions for when I see one roll off the truck in person... I'm a little concerned though with the modified / lighter design of the 6mt. I wonder where the weight was taken from and if the once bullet proof 6mt is now not so tough.

I don't plan on using my LGT as a daily driver once the warranty expires. I currently don't intend on ever selling it either though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadvw Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I save my opinions for when I see one roll off the truck in person... I'm a little concerned though with the modified / lighter design of the 6mt. I wonder where the weight was taken from and if the once bullet proof 6mt is now not so tough. That's the first thing that went through my mind too! Bean counters just can't resist cutting a few pennies here and there, ESPECIALLY from things that are WORKING. I.e. if the "normal" failure rate was say, 1%, and for the 6MT Subaru found it was only failing at 0.2%, then it was too beefy (i.e. they were putting too good of a transmission into the car), and they must find a cheaper model that has a 1% failure rate..

hadvw Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So all 23 of you out there who are fans of the Legacy GT wagon can go ahead and stop reading now.  #3 here (I saw at least two others mention the wagon)... I'm sure we can get 230 wagon fans just from this board..

Ridgeracer Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Am I the only one disappointed in the 3.6 liter's power output when compared to other cars? As for the GT, here we go again with the lack of turbo options available and high priced turbos...

seatosky Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Can't say I'm loving it. I don't look at it and go, damn.... gotta trade in the '05 wagon for one of these. But, I will say that the more I've looked at it today it's grown on me a bit. With the right mods: new grill, blacked out headlights, hood scoop, bigger/better rims... it could look pretty sharp. That said, if it don't come in a wagon then I wouldn't buy one. Perhaps we'll get lucky up here in Canada though and get a wagon version?!?

Impulse Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Look at a 2.5i LGT and 3.0R and please tell me that they are different as well? Once you figure out that they dont different body (minus the hood scoop for LGT SpecB) wise then why would you think the new generation would be any different? i didnt say that they'd have a different body, i just wanted to remind people that this base legacy (like the current legacy) lacks many subtle 'extras' that can change how it looks, ex: fog lights, mirror turn signals, rims, door stills, sunroof, muffler, brakes ect..

j255c Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 i still think 05 front end with 08+ ass is the best the legacy ever was. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STIJibz Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 honestly, i dont see why so many people think it's atrocious...i think it looks pretty aggressive...and AGAIN, this is the BASE model...we have yet to see what the GT comes out looking like...some good looking 18 inchers and small tweaks to the exterior can go a LONG way for the appearance of the car...we also have yet to see the more expensive interior.... as for me, im really reserving final judgement until CreoSTi gets his hands on one of these, throws some insane fitment Advan RS on it and makes it something to truly lust over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Cut and paste from other thread: So far I see the new WRX engine/turbo and a 6-speed standard on the LGT. Me likey.  Joe Did you miss the part that they moved the turbo to beneath that engine? What turbo will fit now? I stick with my wagon for now.
