tallguylehigh Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Wow *drool* this car is absolutely gorgeous. I am loving this color combination. It's too bad that this model will probably not make it over here. Thanks to nasioc.com for the link [url]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/[/url] :o Just did a quick conversion on the price- this car, in USD, is ~$28K. Also, I thought the Japanese Spec B's came with a 6-MT, not a 5-MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 That's cool, but it's a look that fits better on the STI (Impreza). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/imgs/top.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/interior/01/imgs/top.jpg[/img] I was under the impression that it came with a 6MT as well. Oh MAN! I think I just soiled myself. That is one sweet looking color combo. I would be hard pressed to say that I wouldn't choose WRB if it was available here. Of course it does give off a more "racey" vibe than any of the other colors, even the red. The Gauges also appear to be different. But you are right.. it's a combo that fits better on the Impreza platform. Still good to see something new! [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/05/imgs/top.jpg[/img] Awesome seats! [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/01/imgs/top.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/04/imgs/top.jpg[/img] I want these lights! [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/06/imgs/top.jpg[/img] Too bad these are probably only 7" wide :( [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/03/imgs/top.jpg[/img] neat little gadget here! I would buy one, if I could afford it.. i wonder how much they are?

tallguylehigh Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hey dont worry about being pic happy, if I could navigate to find those pics, I would post them as well! I think those gold rims would look kind of slick on the regal blue pearl. A little bit less racey than the WRB, and a little more elegant. The gauge lighting looks like a Mazda 6's, not that impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm3 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 *THAT* is the car I want. I would kill for that car (even though it is a *Bit* more tarty then I like and everyone I know would make fun of me, THAT is the car I've been waiting for and will never see) -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken S Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I just browsed through the JDM website and the WR-Limited model is really just a cosmetic modification of the Spec B (except for the 18" wheels). I agree that the all red EL gauges are not that impressive. They should have put some WR blue in those dials! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 this should be a visual taste of the forthcoming Legacy STI. This looks like an image car, for the WR team. nothing wrong with that. This could become the STi Appearance package, for the GT and GT Ltd. Sedans and wagons. The Legacy STi should also look like this, with a more agressive front bumper, and significant performance mods. Thanks for the pics, it looks awesome. - just leave the stock blue-white numerals on the gauges, as standard. All red is not an upgrade, it actually would be harder to read.

MtnSub Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 The Subaru "world rally team" seats pictured look like the same as the sport seats in the Leg GT/Ltd, with cosmetic fabric changes and vroom, vroom labels. Are the seats the same or improved in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that refers to the minimum wheel size. That car's a bit tarty for me, and it would be more expensive than $29K here in States, trust me on that one. They can keep the rally boy stuff (blue w/gold wheels), but I do like the concept of the seats, with the leather bolsters and fabric (suede?) inserts. And those WRC logos are really, really funny. Those must add 20hp by themselves. :lol: The guys over at NASIOC are wetting themselves over the car, and I don't see why. Seems to be, as SUBE said, a Spec B with some tarting up.

SUBE555 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Kevin, I thought you were leaving NASIOC [b]FOREVER[/b]! :lol: Guess not. I think it looks really nice but would have been nice to have just been something past a Spec B with all the aesthetic goodies. Looks pretty sexy IMO though.

waflowers Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Give me those sport seats and suspension and brakes that are just as sport oriented and I'd stay in the Subaru camp. But if it were to happen by then it'll be too late; I'll be gone. I'm moving toward selling the Legacy, I have someone interested in my motorcycle, and I'm getting my deposit back from Mastro Subaru on Monday.

racerdave Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Yeah, we're all car geeks anyway, so the more the merrier. Plus, I might not have an S2K or Miata, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.7L H6 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 So will we see anything like this on US turf within the next few years?

SUBE555 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 It's just a Spec B model '3.7L'. Well, with a few trimmings, but for performance, it will do exactly the same things a normal Spec B will, just maybe a little prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
