godwhomismike Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I saw a WR Blue STi in a CVS parking lot this evening and I must say that is the most awesome shade of blue I've ever seen used on a car. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardP Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Of course, I vote Yes, but let's not dream too much about this for now. We get World Rallye Blue if and when we get a STI version of the Legacy in NA. You can always buy a white car and have it repainted in WRB :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Legacy would look amazing with WR Blue, tinted windows, stock spoiler, maybe beefer wheels/tires - not going for a "ricer" look, but more of a German look, (Edit: like a Audi S4). - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Although I love the color, I think it's going to do better as a special edition color. Something that isn't the norm. I think if you see a USDM Legacy STi, that you will see a WRB option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Why can't we have a special edition Subaru like in different continents??? :( -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapy Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 that blue is as unique as Ferrari's red! i believe it will become the major symbol of subaru in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 No. It's ostentatious and doesn't belong on the Legacy. Leave it for the "Hey, looka me" crowd. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I would much rather have the dark grey that Japan now is getting rather than the WRB that they don't even get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 PRESTON! Missed ya again buddy. I vote no for adding WRB to this year, I think both that and the dark grey should be special edition colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I would love the titanium grey color. IF my car has any paint problems in the coming years I would even consider getting mine repainted.. and shave the roof-rails of course :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I agree with Ross. The dark gray would be awesome. :D -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I like WRB and would definately choose that color if it were available. Instead, however, I am going with Regal Blue Pearl.... nice color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I saw that dark gray on an STi at my dealer and I have to say that ANY car would look awesome in that color. WRB, however, does not suit the Legacy, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Glad to see that there is still support for the dark grey. Isn't it Crystal Grey or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah, something like that- my dealer called it Crystal Gray something or other- I was more concerned with the fact that he kept bumming smokes off of me :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 My personal belief and as stated before, this colour should only be reserved for STi vechiles. This would help retain the value of the STi and make it a lot more identifiable on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I fully agree there agctr. It is an icon and should have the recognizability as one. It's a different thing than the tell-tale signs of the WRX STi wing and bonnet, but rather richer colors. Give it the option of perhaps 3-4 colors (WRB, that cool gunmetal color, and 2 other premium looks) like has been done with the STi models of yesteryear, but with the premium look/feel.

agctr Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 At the end of the day, it would just help to retain and maintain the STi branding. It would be like the normal Subaru logo being made the same colour as STi, it just wouldnt fit in with the current corporate branding and image. This should also apply to the paint colours of the cars. They should be kept seperate. Sube, I have to agree with yr other colour choices as well.

World Rally Blue San Remo Red non-metallic Brilliant Silver Chrystal Grey Black Obsidian non-metallic Red, blue, or silver alcantara and leather trim accents inside. I kind of like the blacked out lower trunk look of the JDM STi concept. Maybe extend the blackout over the roof, between the windsheild and the back window, between the rain rails. Possibly the hood scoop insert as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 As per interior trims, KISS, a black/dark grey alcantara or whatever should work well. The more options you add, the more complex things are. Subaru doesn't do that. They like the KISS method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 and the KISS method is very good and it just adds more value to the BFYB theory also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Mmm Black leather w/ Alcantara centers like the previous S4. that would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue alcantara would look great in a WR Blue car, but not so hot on a San Remo red car. Red would look great in pretty much all the other colors, but might be too much. silver would look good in pretty much all of them, as well. just charcoal would of course be the standard, but I was wanting a little more flair. It would be an STi, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Agree PPower, maybe u could slot the Alcantra onto the steering wheel too even though the leather is still the prefered option there for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
