Robdownunder Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 G'day guys, Here is the latest GT offering from Subaru Australia for 2006. The changes are:- 2 brand new colours come into the range. They are called Urban Grey which is what this one is called and another version known as Violet Grey I haven't seen yet. (OB's get the same option.) Black interiors. The centre wheel cap now incorporates the "Pleides" star emblem instead of the word "Subaru." Just like the photo our member in Italy sent over a few days ago. And the auto tranny has no lock out button on the console anymore just like your USA ones. Other than that, no other differences cosmetically...no sat nav, still has the McIntosh. Have you got this colour over there? PS. I'll get a further photo of it on Monday as I have to tint the glass and the roofs then. Rob. Melbourne.

rfd425 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Wow, that looks like a nice color. "Violet Grey" sounds intriguing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Don't have the Urban Gray (Grey, whichever). Wish we did, though!! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterman Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Thanks for the pic Rob, the colour looks great and is about the shade I hoped it would be. I can't wait to pick mine up now:D Shame I didn't know of you when I ordered mine or I would have had you tint it, but hey they threw the 7 window tint in for free anyway (well if anything in this world is free!). If it ends up being a crap job you may be hearing from me. No new colours in the US in 06! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robdownunder Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'll be looking closely Scooter for a good job. At least I can do your hothouse sunroofs. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterman Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Good point. I will make contact when I get home and collect the car re sunroof at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 is the other grey darker than that? I really wanted a dark 'charcoal'-ish type grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterman Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 No it appears to have a quite a purple tint to it - awful IMO.http://subaru.com.au/explore/liberty/exterior.asp?body=Sedan&grade=GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Great colour and grate pic mate... Cheers for sending that out... Do you have MT option for the 06 Wagons there? Or is it only 5EAT like in the US??? Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robdownunder Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Note also how our indicator light is more subtle being sort of built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBY Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 G'day, We get manual or auto options. Rob. They also get the 2.0 liter Twinscroll, around 260hp I think. New Zealand gets the same motor with a higher compression ratio and 280hp. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see Subaru going out on a limb a little bit with colors. I imagine that color would be particularly popular with a certain demographic that often gravitates towards Subarus.

Robdownunder Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Here is the other new colour I'm assured is the Violet one although it is not in a GT config.

fzanetti Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 M8s Out of the topic/pics, but does anyone know why our cars are called Liberty instead of Legacy in the Asia/Pac parts of the globe????? Just a little curious.... Cheers Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
