Ike, dude, quit bagging on me. I DUG the 8. IF I wanted smart-*** putdowns, I'd return to the SRT-4 forum.

Did some research on the upcoming Legacy turbo; looks sweet.

Lighten up man, just giving you a hard time I did not mean to put you down in any way. Hell, I struggled with exactly what you are now but at a much younger age. I bought a car that had a better ride and was more luxorious because I thought it made sense since I was getting older. It still had a large engine and was fast but once I got used to that I was left with a cushy boring sedan. Probably much like you felt with your TL. I say if the sportscar feel is still in your veins find a compromise, but I think after the power of the new TSX wears off you're still left with the same feeling you had with your TL. Fast cars start to feel slow after a while, cars that handle well will always feel like they handle well...
For that reason I think you should avoid a FWD sedan. However the new TSX is a great car and I certainly wouldn't fault you for buying one. But when you feel the same way about it as you did your TL I'll be the first to say I told you so.

Besides, my dad owned a couple Eldorados when he was younger, younger than you are now, and they were pretty damn cool, especially the 71.

Here's a link if you want more info on the Legacy that's coming, it's also a good place to learn about Subaru in general. Just do a search or two and you should be able to find whatever info you desire.

ahahaha...sorry Ike. I'm so jaded by talking with the punks and losers and gansta wannabes at the SRT4 forum that I don't know when I'm being kidded anymore!!!

Yeah, you are right about the boredom factor--my challenge is to find ANY car that I won't get bored with. I pay cash for them, drive em a year and do it over--god have I lost a lot of money.

Friends say I should lease, but don't want to--I drive way more than leases allow; plus, every car I get, I think "THIS IS THE ONE!!!" and I'll KEEP IT FOREVER!!!......but.....when the next hotter model comes out...do like the Legacy though; checked out the web site; thanks! What do you think of its looks? I think they're great except the rear window--don't like the treatment there....

Dude, let's face it--Eldorados rock!!

Right on man. Any car that the owners all love this much has to be a winner!!!

Right now I'm waiting on bank approval to get a credit line on the house so I can purchase whatever car I want right out; have a good offer already on the SRT4

Is the high 28s a good price for a GT edition? I think it is.....

Japan8

Damn... that is brilliant SRT-4! Thanks for the idea.

SRT-4 Owner

You got it bro

Ike

No worries man.

I have a problem with the boredom factor as well, which is why I stick with cars that mod very easily. If it starts to feel slow, or not quite handle the way I want it to, time to get another mod or two. That's why I like turbo cars, bang for the buck mod wise it just doesn't get any better.

Sorry I never actually posted the link when I said I was going to, so here you are...

There's a ton of info to sift through but some searches should yield some nice results, and checking out the 2.5L Turbo section should give you an idea of how well it will take to mods. Someone just dynoed their Forester XT at 290whp with not a whole lot in mods, and the Legacy will most likely have a bigger turbo than the XT to start out with.

As for looks, I thik they're stylish yet simple, on the sleeper side of the spectrum. If you've never had an AWD turbo car to launch and play around with before I highly suggest you try it at some point in your life.
