SFGR415 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I think realisticly (sp?) the only changes to the 06 model for the GT's should be optional HIDS, navigation system, moonroof (all standard on Limited). GT models should also recieve a sportier supsension and possibly a 6 speed manual. As far as horsepower, I believe 250 is fine of else you would be getting into STi territory but maybe 270 would be nice. Oh yea, I don't think Subaru should release a USDM Legacy STi but rather, optional STi parts from dealers (body parts, wheels, brakes, exhaust, suspension, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobCatron Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 There won't be too many changes. Let me tell you, they are concentrating most all of their efforts at the design, fine tuning, and launch of the 00x. From what I hear, the Navi is in, but other than that, not too many changes...

Driver72 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Let's give this 2006 LGT speculation thing a rest. Other than the Pontiac GTO, which car in the last 20 years has had drastic changes in it's 2nd model year after a complete and full redesign? And the only reason the GTO did it was to increase it's sales, and because the 5.7 liter was no longer going to be made!! I'm 99% sure the 2006 will pretty much be exactly like the 2005 with mild changes/upgrades....as pretty much all cars do/get from one year to the next!

Colonel Angus Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 i heard that the '06 models will have an optional midget servant that will put your spare tire on in the event of a blow out. and, if you ever need to flag down a to truck, said midget will do the work for you. if in the event that the midget gets hit by a speeding car, subaru will replace him under warranty. this, i promise you, is set in stone. SOA invested millions of R&D dollars into finding out that this was a necessary option car buyers wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opie Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I also work for Subaru (dealership full time and freelance web design for S.o.A.)....and this is all news to me.... ...and I doubt Subaru would switch from Chase Automotive Finance (Subaru Motors Finance) to GMAC since Subaru Motors Finance just received JD Powers top rating in customer satisfaction for 2004 of all U.S. based manufacturer finance programs.

f1anatic Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 i think many of you will be dissapointed to see that the Legacy will be the same for 2006 MY. If Subaru is to come out with an STi version for Legacy...it would come out in Japan first. As of yet...do they market a said Legacy STi in Japan ? NO...although people like talking about its 6 speed and bigger turbo as the STi Legacy. So...no. Not until the US STi gets 3L DOHC turbo...will we see a Legacy STi.

creativename Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Power boost for all 2.5 NA motors STi versions of Forester and Legacy (six speed) WRX goes to 2.5L turbo so your saying subaru will give up scaa rally? because in the wrc, no car can have over 2.0liter displacement. if im not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobCatron Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 What is the 00x??? 00X = B9 Tribeca 23V = 2006 Legacy 21Z = 2005 Legacy They are just model codes internal to SIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt_ltd Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I strongly believe SoA's main focus right now is the B9 Tribeca, the Legacy line is doing good and so won't get much attention for a while unless sales go down or something happens ("if it ain't broken, don't fix it").
