In B&Q Car Park, Newbury today.

A Subaru Saloon - had a scoop - different lights to an Impreza

Blue and no spoiler on the back .... looks very similar to a BMW from a rear angle

I tried to work out what it said on the back - something like STi 401 ???

Does this mean anything to anyone?

Leather interior and it looked bloody nice!! Probably the best looking Subaru I have ever seen - very grown up!

Pete

 

Legacy?

 

This bud?

 

Could be? What is it? Are there anymore pics? The boot looks like its got a spoiler? the one I saw definately didn't!

Pete

 

Its a Legacy

 

Sounds like a legacy B4

must admit i thought the same when i saw one!!!!!

looks more stealthy and more aggresive than the standard scoob


Mart

 

It didnt have the rear spoiler - looked better without!

It also had blacked out rear windows!

What does the STi 401 mean? Is it an Import?

Pete

 

Think so yeah, 276bhp.

 

it could have been a B4, they dont come with that spoiler on, twin turbo

 

Wouldn't mind one at all!!

Looked the dogs

Are they cheap?

Pete

 

yeah, i work in a petrol station and seen a woman pull up in one! no idea what sort it was tho, was gona ask but was too busy

 

...would be 293ps output, 6 speed manual, balanced engine internals, uprated radiator, special bumper cover and IC intake, special 18" BBS rims, Brembo brakes, tuned suspension, etc. etc.

Take a look at:

Is that it, Pete?

 

Oh, and not cheap IMHO, they were 4.35million yen when new.

Although it did get a fully customised interior to go with all the go fast bits.

 

The model that got tweaked by Porsche looks stunning

 

Here it is

 

Now, doesn't that beat a Beemer??!!

I want one and I want one NOW!

But I want a UK one from my friendly UK dealer - will I get one?

Pete

 

Well, the old shape is history, and did not make it to the UK via IM, so no you can't get one, Pete. But the new model will have an interesting model on offer with a 3 litre flat 6 with 6 speed manual. It gets Bilstein dampers and some decent rubber (on 18"!!), too.

Cheers

 

GIMME GIMME GIMME!!

Do they do an Estate version??

Pete

 

Down boy. You realise it's a Japanese market car Pete? Doesn't really fit in with the way you like to do things, does it?

 

I think youll find the estate is even better looking Pete.

I did catch a rumour somewhere that a P2 was planned using the Lagacy instead of the Impreza and with the success of the T5 and the RS6 who knows ???????????

 

WhoooooHooooo!! An estate version too!!

Shame its a JDM car - I couldn't possibly accept second best

Bring it over here, NOW!!!

Pete
