nice pics, im glad to see a McIntosh stereo system in the legacy

 

The McIntosh system was in the current generation JDM B4/GT-B as well, of course, it did not make it into the US model. We can only hope...

 

That is one suweet *** car!!!!

Actually, IMO that's the first nice looking STOCK Suby I've ever seen. Nothing against the subies in general. I just think that until now the designers have pretty much been blind.

 

Uhhh, will there be a manual transmission available? I only see automatics in the pics.

 

Probably not... I think all Legacys come in autos.

 

Nop, at least not for the GT-B and B4, a small number of MT models are available, as compared to the overwhelming number of AT ones.

There are 5-spd MT USDM Legacy available as well.

 

i want one!! ! would be a great family car

 

I have to say that is a very nice looking subaru if they made an STI version I would buy for sure!

 

IMO, looks better than an Impreza STi. I want one...

Anyone think that Subaru might bring an Impreza STi Wagon over here?

 

Subaru is planning to bring a high-performance turbo model 2 years after the launch of the new Legacy. Since the turbo model we'll get at first is an STi-based 2.5L making 250 hp, I am guessing we'll get the 300 hp full STi version. It will be probably be called the B4 RSK like the previous ones... Should be really nice.

 

Oh OK. Forget what I said then. We need a smiley with a 'Dunce' cap or somethin.

 

Unless something better shows it's head between now and when my Lancer rolls 75k, I'll be trading in on an '05 model. After sitting in the Suby's (Forrester especially), I think they have Mitsu whipped as far as build quality, and the "fun to drive" factor. IT wasn't more than 3 years ago when everything Subaru built was bland... Now they have this turbo thing figured out stateside... All I can say is "WOW".

 

Subaru wins the "find out what the market wants and get the model to make Sheitz-load of cash" category hands down as compared to Mitsu...

It's be successful since they brought over the the RS....
