Looks OK.
I like the way the circle of the headlights are indented into the bumper. And I like the turn signals on the side mirrors.
Any interior pics?
What kind of tires does it have?

Looks great! Now time for some wheels, a little less wheel gap, an FP Green, FMIC, Utec, TBE, and... It's a good thing I don't have to pay for all that or I'd be broke, now get to work! :p

BY the way, what turbo did you guys end up with TD-04 or VF39, I've been looking everywhere and still can't find an answer.

Yes, wheel gap huge on this car. But, I am not dieing to buy rims for this thing yet. I will just stick with the 17inchers for now. But, we have no idea what turbo it is either. They haven't disclosed that information.

Also, the car seems not to have a break in period. There is no break in period in the owners manual, and the dealer stated there was no break in. But, it won't see over 4kRPM untill after the first oil change at 700 miles.

More pictures will come soon... its too rainy for good pics.

The interior is nice, I rode in it. Like it a lot, definitely a more grown up car. Engine sounds very similar to STI. I am pretty sure Subaru is not going to put the VF39 on the legacy, should be a TD-04.

Whats the diffrence in those two turbos? If the VF39 is the STI turbo..that is not the turbo in the car. All I know is it doesn't share the same turbo with any other car in the line up.

I am in agreement with Hanzo. Its deffinatly targetted for a more mature market. Interior is top notch.

It actually does, I think it's just the angle, they don't look anything like the Taurus in person but the rear half of the car in that shot certainly makes it look like one.

You won't clear up that gap without a drop from some springs, trying to do it with tires is the wrong way to go.

Or I coud just go with 18's and call it a day..but, I would rather spend the wheel money on something diffrent. Like the suspension. But, thats the only thing that bugs me about its appearance. Need to fill the gap.

The japanese models look pretty good with their 215/45 18s, and the wheel width is only 7" wide, so 225/45 17 isn't a good idea.

I wonder if the 225/50/17 will work on the stock rim..and would it make much of a diffrence.

Finally Subaru styling I like (car looks much better in real life than in these photos). Nice dials too. Congrats.
