iyamdman Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 You know, this discussion sounds VERY familiar to me when we were talking about the "new" STi before it was released and everyone said "Why would people pay more for 30hp and some bodykit changes?". This is when everyone still thought the STi was going to be a 2.0l and 260ish hp. Then Subaru dropped a bomb on everyone with the 300/300 2.5l . . . And they kept the secret GOOD too...Maybe they have something up their sleeves for the SpecB that they haven't released yet... Hmmm.... But still, damnit, I want a fricking wagon. With standard transmission. And easy aftermarket radio -Allen +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4yoshi Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Argh...I'm tempted to put one on order, but without knowing if it'll have a bump in power, I can't justify paying MSRP. Well, that and not knowing what the price will be. Realistically, the changes they've made are okay...but making a wagon version and having the NAV as an option would boost sales a lot. Giving a modest boost in power...say from 250 to 270-280 would really boost sales and yet keep the exclusivity of the WRX STi having the most HP. And it wouldn't take much modification to do.

wunderkind Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 you guys quoting 270-280hp bump to the legacy..... the car is already producing around that much anyways! Oh... you want Subaru to ammend the published figure is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Also quite weird that you cannot see the strut/spring in the picture with the tire only...what's with that? someone photochopped it out? Oh well, guess we will wait and see...the end of august is almost around, and that's when things will start making waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestar Pilot Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've talked to a few different dealers and many feel that it will come with an HP bump, which is why its not immediately listed with the rest of the model information. If this happens then suddenly I become a contender to purchase one. The wife loves the silver titanium exterior, so I think I could talk her into it.

Leonardo Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I could do w/o the six-speed and HP, though. There's always AccessPort/ECUtek around the corner. BINGO!!! Give this boy a candy bar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I talked to a salesman in Des Moines today... Supposedly the "Subaru Guy." The first one was evidently could only try to sell me a mazda, even though I pulled up in the one I already have. I asked "the Subaru Guy" if he knew anything about the upcoming GT Spec B. He thought a Spec B was a japanese-only twin turbo. Hasn't been that for several years now, and I didn't say RSK. Maybe he was playing dumb, but I have a feeling he makes his commissions peddling WRXs and Outbacks, and Legacys aren't exactly buying his lunch. No literature, no nothing on the 06 cars, and only one new '05 Leg 2.5i sedan on the lot. No other Legacy to be seen. The unknowledgeable salesman says the Legacy grille has changed a tad bit for 06, though. I can't say I noticed that from the 06 pics thread... They did have a pair of 06 outbacks, a 2.5i limited, and a green LLBean. Chrome headlights, and standard "Air Filtration". That'd be about the only changes. I wonder if the glovebox is hacked up with a handsaw as OEM on those... El Salesman says it will likely be around the end of August when they get the 06 Legacys. But yet they'll get 2 Porsche Cayman S's in January, right as they become available. (yeah, sure they will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awd-turismo Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 JDM Bumpers would have me happy as a clam....I still argue they've ruined the cosmetics of a good design with the USDM version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 JDM Bumpers would have me happy as a clam....I still argue they've ruined the cosmetics of a good design with the USDM version. Hmmm, a thread brought back from the dead. Since it's been resurrected, I'll put in my two cents: It needs a turbo H6. A normally-aspirated H6 would be desirable, but I would prefer turbo. It needs better NAV - I haven't experienced it myself, but hear that it does not compare favorably to other NAV systems. I'm not a big fan of the Spec B wheels, but those are easily changed.

akm3 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Best solution: Make it Order only, choose your own color, MSRP only. You want one? We'll make it for you. But you don't get a deal. Yes, you can have it in blue. -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
