Looks nice, but I honestly doubt we'll see a 350-400 hp version here. Subaru just introduced the STi, to release this car here would be a slap in the face of all the owners of the STi.

I would like to see it happen, but I don't think it's likely.

I doubt they will stray from the new EJ257 for the new legacy

Very nice looking car. Way better looking than the WRX Sti. The more competition the better imo. I'd love to see it in a 400hp version here. Keep the pressure on .

Come on buddy, put down the pipe... At most this car will have 270ish HP off a 2.5L F-4 Turbo. Subaru will not be releasing a TT I or V6 anytime soon if ever. Additionally their current V6 is all aluminum which is a WONDERFUL platform to modify on. Thank god the EVO is still an iron block for high boost. Ask Ford why the 03 SC Cobra was delayed. Turns out the Alum block couldnt handle the boost! Nice looking car but hardly our biggest threat.

like i said earlier....i guess we'll have to wait until its released in January to get all the specs.

this car is def. hot, if it does live up to what their saying here, then the car in my driveway might be a little different soon, dare i say it.

That Legacy definitely gets a thumbs up from me. Too bad I've already got my EVO -- it would take a LOT for me to shell out the cash for it and trade in my Mitsu...
