Hmm... could be interesting, although I'm not keen on the front-end styling. It'll be interesting to see what it's like, although it would have to work very hard to knock the RX-8 off the top of my list, even though it's faster in a straight line.

I had a turbo charged Legacy back inthe early 90's. I always thought of it as a foul weather sports car. Glad to see they've added a little more performacne. Love the all wheel drive!

Realy?

I have been trying to buy one of those for months.

They are very hard to find.

Right before I got my 8 I did and all out search of one and low and behold I found a woman in my office park that had one..

But, alas I had already purchased my 8 and used the big wad of cash I had on the 8.

I would still love to have an old turbo Legacy.

But, I look forward to getting a new one.

The new Legacy = The reason I have put of buying the RX-8

I'll probably end up with the 8, but I wanted to check out the Legacy before making a final decision. It looks like a great ride!

I love the Legacy. When I was in Japan last year I went to a Subaru dealer and I have the actual brochures to the B-4 and the STI Legacy.

I pretended like I was going to buy one, and found out there were only 40 STi Legacy's left unsold on in all of Japan...

But, they are probably all sold now.

9-K ~

I'd love to see any of what you came across in Japan. If you don't mind posting, that would be great. Also, did you get a chance to test drive? If so, I'd love to hear your impressions. While the B4 is money, that STI Legacy must be truly awesome! I am quite fired up about the USDM Legacy, but can't wait for the STI to reach our shores.

I will scan some tonite after my RX8 meeting.

I drove a B-4 I think it was a 2000 or 2001 in Japan. The B-4 has three personalities, NA mode, single turbo then twin turbo. The lag from single turbo to twin is HUGE. People call it the valley of death. Thats why they moved to a twin scroll. I have been to japan about 4 times, and I have collected alot of stuff. I have a R34 GTR dealer brochure, STI Legacy, Legacy B-4, Lancer Evo 7 and some more stuff. I always wanted the dealer stuff to show I went and go them. Any body can just get a magazine about them. Not every one can get the info straight from the dealer.

I will post some scans tonite.

Sweet, 9-K. Looking forward to the scans. That is very cool that you have been to Japan so frequently. What brought about those trips? I'd love to visit there someday.

MONEY! Much thanks, 9-K. You da man! That STI Legacy is killer. I didn't do too well with the price sheet, but then again...I don't read kanji:D Anyway, thanks again.

The homosexual sports enthusiast segment should be very excited.

I bet the trunk will have plenty of room for basketballs, softball equipment, and tennis rackets.
