This looks really good <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>Any more information? specs? modifications from the regular legacy?

[Redline]

Wait a minute, the US? Not Japan? Thats a first, and a pretty good looking car too. Doesn't look quite as great as their usual B-Specs, but at least this one is coming here.

wow it probably has 280 horses

[carmaniac]

it's probably just a trim package on the standard 2.5GT<p>From what I can see in those pictures, the difference from the 2005 2.5GT is the Red interior, the JDM Spec B wheels, sport pedals, steering wheel controls and navigation system.

Bilsten shocks, no huge power increase, more use of STi engine components.

Thanks mega for the information.<p>Can I rely on you on subies as well? <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.germancarfans.com/images/forums/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif" BORDER="0">

If you like, I generally don't pay much attention to them at work. THey are freakin small, I don't fit. I even hit my head in the Tribeca. Based strictly on that, I'm not a fan, but I do hear stuff. I just dig as deep as I do with Hyundai.

I thought they have been using Bilstein shocks since day 1? different valving maybe?<p><TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD><i>Quote, originally posted by <b>megadethmartyr</b> &raquo;</i></TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Bilsten shocks, no huge power increase, more use of STi engine components.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Truthfully, I really don't spend much time with Subaru's because we just don't sell many many of them. It's such a niche brand. What I listed above is what I heard the Subaru rep say, I couldn't even begin to tell you who's right.

[JRodrigues]

That front bumper seems to be bigger than European versions. Are all US Legacys like that?? It 's ugly like that <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthdown.gif" BORDER="0"> <p> <IMG SRC="http://www.subdriven.com/gallery/albums//Automobiles/Legacy/Generation%204/Legacy%20B4=International/014.jpg" BORDER="0">

From that SPECIFIC picture, I see the car shares a lot of resemblence to the Sonata in styling, at least to me. Anyways, it looks good <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0">

Knicks, I can tell you with 100% certainty, this looks nothing like a Sonata. It's actually a pretty small car.

[Top Secret]

Not really. It's about on par with a Mazda 6. That's hardly small.

Actually, it is small, no head room, no leg room (for a person over 6 foot, that is. I'm 6'2). Subaru buyers will love this, mainstream will look at it like any other Subaru, which is fine by Subaru, they don't mind being a niche brand.

It's only got .6in less headroom, and .4in more legroom than the Sonata. Sure the interior is smaller, but it's on par with other midsize sedans.

[carmaniac]

I also disagree with it being small, I drove the Legacy around the track and it felt about the same size as the Mazda6. The interior does feel a bit more cozy, but it's not uncomfortable.

[megadethmartyr]

glad it fits you, I have them around me evey day, and to me they are small. It doesn't fit me at all. I am not a fan of my knees hitting the steering wheel or my head the roof, both which happen to me.

[Roadster44]

If Clarkson at 6'3 has no problem fitting into it...I don't see how it would be a small car.
