SilentPwr Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Anyone have inside info about when the 2012's will hit the dealers? I want a 2.5i manual, and there aren't any 2011's around. Local dealer was saying I should just order a 2011 since it will get here quicker. I asked how quick, he said 6-8 weeks. I'd think the 2012's should be arriving by then... hopefully!

legacy360 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 They aren't taking orders for 2011's anymore, it's 2012 only. Sometime within the next month or two is when they should be arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Same deal here - dealers can only order the 2012's - both dealers said delivery should be 8 or 9 weeks after ordering. I have seen people say anywhere from mid- to late-september to late October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKs17 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Any price drops? I would wait for the 2012, they should be adding that new 2.5L motor into the legacy by now, i hope. And i hope they fixed up the wheel shimmy problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Lung Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 i have several coming in the end of this month at my dealership, already got one sold!! 2012s get some nice new stuff, and some not so nice (h/k radio going from 6 cd to 1 cd) I would not be surprised to see the cd player eliminated altogether in a year or two.

DrD123 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 2012s get some nice new stuff, and some not so nice (h/k radio going from 6 cd to 1 cd) Is there a list of what's changing somewhere? I haven't been able to find much other than 2 new colors and that there might be power folding mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Cars101 is updated (says specs were released on 9/2): The 2012 Legacy gets no major mechanical or feature changes from 2011 and continues to have the same model line-up. It was rumored they might get the new 2.5L 4 cylinder used in the 2011 Forester but it didn't happen. The cars are expected to start arriving mid-late September 2011. Usually new models are available late June but due to the March 2011 earthquake in Japan, the date has been pushed back. Subaru also announced finance rates on the 12s starting at 2.9%, oac for the NW/Settle area. That means there aren't that many 2011 remaining.. Prices: minor price increases 2.5L no price change. 2.5 Premium +$300. 2.5 Limited +$300. 3.6R +$100. 3.6R Premium +$300. 3.6R Limited +$300. GT Limited turbo +$200 Destination $750 (was $725). To Alaska $900 New Features >2.5i base models get steering wheel audio controls. New optional 'Alloy Wheel Package' which includes the All Weather Package (AWP), 17" alloy wheels, and fog lights for $995 after package discount. This should be a very popular option package. This is the first time the AWP has been available on this version Legacy. > Premium- 2.5 and 3.6R Premium models get Bluetooth handsfree cell phone with steering wheel controls, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, USB, 6 speakers. > Limited- 2.5 and 3.6R Limited models get fog lights and an upgraded Harman/Kardon (h/k) audio package with a new 4.3" LCD color display, HD radio, and XM satellite. The h/k has an AM/FM with single CD, replaces the AM/FM with CD changer. The XM is now free for 4 instead of 3 months. > GT Limited- no changes for Subaru's high performance turbo sedan Colors New Deep Indigo Pearl New Ice Silver Metallic Gone Azurite Blue Pearl Gone Steel Silver Metallic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I was sort of hoping for HID's... I don't understand how so many other cars come with them at least as an option and the legacy and outback don't. I find this very, very annoying.

ehsnils Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The lack of HID:s is a SOA decision since you can get them with HID:s in Europe (it's even the only alternative where I live) Write to SOA and complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (h/k radio going from 6 cd to 1 cd) To me, this screams "significant change in MY2013" [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

RJS5689 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The same reasons a 2011 GTI has rear passenger air vents and a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX doesn't. My $23,xxx 2006 GTI also had auto-leveling bi-xenon headlights with washers, but my $32,xxx Subaru doesn't. I guess the Subaru makes up for it with hardware, eh? I must say there are a TON of features I miss from my GTI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan T. Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I ordered a 2011 a couple months ago that got converted into a 2012 order after they stopped making 2011s. My email from SOA says October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awdG35killer Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 A few dealers here get them the 26th. People ordering 2012 imprezas are getting $500 vouchers towards certain gifts. Anyone ordering should See if the same applies to the legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've been given an anticipated date in early October - where did you find the info on the $500 voucher? They didn't mention anything when I ordered the car (a Legacy) so maybe it's only for the new Impreza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awdG35killer Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The 2012 impreza thread on nasioc. They getting vouchers toward skis, bikes, service, etc. when they order it. Which legacy did you order? The base with alloy wheel pkg is so tempting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looking at that thread, it was for pre-ordering a 2012 Impreza before August 31st or something like that - someone implied it was likely due to the delayed release of the cars, which sounds plausible. In any event, I ordered before the end of August, and got no special email giving me the $500 voucher (for either a 2yr/24K maintenance plan or a 4yr/60K Gold Plus plan w/$100 deductible or $500 towards dealer installed accessories or $500 towards Subaru Gear or $500 towards a choice of select Trek Bikes or $500 towards a choice of select Nordica Skis) - would have been nice, though...

RailKill Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Sounds like people are already taking delivery on their 2012's. I haven't even taken delivery of my 2011 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Plenty of dealers (particularly near the plant) have already taken delivery of 2012s - most dealers already have VINs for the ones they've ordered, which means they've been built. Are you having an 11 moved from somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you having an 11 moved from somewhere? No, SOA actually bought my car back from me. They ordered me a new one on June 21 and from what they told me, I missed getting a 2012 by a week. My new car just arrived at the dealer a week ago. I'm going to pick it up on Saturday. Thats fine with me because I like my Steel Silver Metallic and if I had gotten a 2012, it would have been the Ice Silver, which I'm just not feeling.
