Nice car..............I'm impressed

http://www.need-desire.com/main.html

 

i like it as well. what a great all around car. performance of a sports car, in any weather condition. it's like a larger more practical wrx.

 

Looks nice.

I take it the specs are either wrong, or the car weighs 1800lbs.

 

Maybe you weren't looking at the GT edition of the Legacy... 250 hp + 250 lb/ft fairly low down in the RPM range.

 

Ima dumbass. I scrolled my mouse down there, and it didn't show as a link at first. This looks betta.

 

Very nice !!! Looks like a bargain.

 

Wow, I'm impressed

 

I was very impressed...until I saw it in person at the auto show...It doesn't look as good in person. Plus the interior (which is much better for a suby) isn't that great. It still has that suby lack of quality feel

 

Impressive!! Like the web address also.

 

Is this the one with the stock McIntosh stereo in Japan?

 

Drool. Faster than a 350z, rx8, 330i, boxter-S according to the site.

I'll defer saying "I'm going to buy one" until I see the interior in person.

But I'm soooo glad Subaru has raised the bar!!!

 

man in pictures that thing looks nice. Might have missed but what are the prices going to be on this thing?

 

I agree. In person, it's not as impressive as it looks in pictures.

But, it's a great car nonetheless!

 

Question, I not familiar with Subaru cars but is this car reliable.

 

i also agree....i was very interested in seeing this car at the Philly Auto Show and was cmpletely disappointed with i did see it..
The specs and the website made me want this car.....but i would never buy this now....looks cheap in person

 

and that's without a chip

I would guess we are talking about 25-30+ hp and 50+ ft lbs from a chip on this car. Throw in an STi turbo and chip and 350 hp380 ft lbs. I really want to see this one in person. I think it looks awesome in pics. Funny how the people who've seen in lost interest in it. Either way, this car is definitely going to wake up manufacturers and let them know what people want......to Audi/BMW, a powerful, fun, good looking car that isn't $40k+. To Acura, take your awesome engines and trannies, and use AWD!

 

that thing looks great!!

 

Car looks awesome, website looks even better.

 

That "250hp" figure is bogus. 0-60mph 5.5 seconds and pressumably weighing a minimum of 3400lbs (disclaimer: weight from 2k4 GT model) it'll have more like 300hp. I cant think of any other 250hp sedan weighing 3400lbs that's anywhere near as quick (Maxima 6MT-255hp & Altima 3.5SE 5sp-245hp included).

 

how about the 3000 lbs srt-4 that does 0-60 in 5.5 with 230 horses

 

been waiting for this baby to come out for years now.

rumors have pricing at ~26K (which should be about right), and the possibility of a B4 version coming out later on in the year.

 

The SRT4 has more like 256hp+ given that they dyno at 215whp (assumimg 16% drivetrain loss):

the legacy looks nice

 

the new legacy is expected 2 weigh in under 3100lbs...also its reported that it is actually underated,engine wise and is actually arnd 280hp


impressive car, i'd take it over a tsx..any day of the week...

 

i'd take many things over a tsx...any day of the week.

 

Add a set of lowering springs and you have the perfect car!

 

needs the 6spd and some HIDs.

 

I suspect we'll get the Legacy STi at some point....with the 6spd and HIDs.

 

Isn't it possible to just swap these pieces out, since they are already available? I'm fairly sure the HIDs wouldn't be THAT difficult, however the transmission may take some effort.

I still believe the Legacy is an extremely nice car for it's price point.

 

legacy is hot

 

2000-2002 Audi S4 3600 lbs

 

theres such a thing?

 

in this case the legacy sti may be a 6cyl turbo engine making over 300+hp easily...we will see, although do not be suprisedif it happens


and yes it is def the hotness

 

btw. anyone know the redline on the 250hp model?



thanks

 

We already have an STi for the Forester (at least in Japan). Looks the same as the USDM Forester XT with added 6MT, 18" wheels, Brembro big brakes, front + rear LSD, and STi spring/sways and body adornments.

i see there is

 

The stock S4 5sp is only about as quick as a stock CL-S 6MT (or Maxima 6MT): 5.9 sec (6.5 automatic). (Given my avg 1/4 mile time, I'm running about 6.5 seconds 0-60 in my auto 255hp Maxima.)
http://www.audiworld.com/model/s4/01/specs.shtml

The Z (being referred to by Subaru on that site) runs 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (Motor Trend) so the new B4 (Leg Turbo) is clocking <5.5 seconds. The stock S4 isnt doing that with 250hp.

It's when you chip it that the beast awakens the potential of the S4.

 

0-60 on the S4 can be as low as 5.5 with a hard launch. I've seen it listed anywhere from 5.5-5.9 in mags. Either way, it's not the best number to look at as its a small number and factors that infuence it affect it significantly. Temperature and driver/launch are big factors. I've seen a stock S4 run a 13.8@99, magazines show a low of 14.1@97 as far as I've seen. So I'm pretty confident the car can do a 5.5s 0-60

 

Either one is HOT.
