Legacy STi pictures. <insert drool here>

The interior is very similar to current Legacy GT models. The center console looks a little more updated, but overall it is easy to see that it is still basically the same interior.

The numbers aren't a whole lot higher than the US 2.5 GT currently. Mostly it is just STi accessories and suspension mods. In the US we already have the WRX STi engine, it is just detuned to 250 HP instead of 300. They already have the tuned by STi Liberty down in Australia and it isn't really a performance machine beyond what the GT can do. It is a smaller engine than ours anyway.

The Indiana plant is currently building a 2007 Sedan (2.5GT spec B) that fits this description. Not sure when or if the wagon will be built?
Don't forget the new 6 speed trans and that the driver now has the ability to performance tune the engine to fit their need on the go, neat!

After the units leave the factory, they go to the distribution center for processing and for special upgrades. Perhaps, this is when the STI badging gets installed?

It is my understanding that all Legacys-Outbacks- B9s and the Bajas, which are sold in the US, come from the US. I could be incorrect. The remaining Subaru lineup comes from across the pond.

Paint is paint as far as the EPA is concerned. They just don't want any pollutants being emitted from the stacks. Gone are the days of adding a "little more" thinner to get it to flow. The Camry is using a water base on their US built models. IMO only - it would make since if Subaru changes over.
just my 2 cents

How true. My parents 02 Maxima (USA) and 02 Altima (USA) have the chipping problem. No swirls though! My 97 Max (made in Japan) isn't near as bad. What year was your Max and Sentra?


The interior on that STI looks much nicer then some of the other Subarus I've seen. Any idea of performace numbers?

My Max was a 2001 SE and the Sentra was a 2003 SER Spec V The Sentras paint for me was even worst then the Maxima plus it was a nightmare to own, constant problems.

I like the Legacy, great looks, power, and AWD I just wish it was a little bit bigger.
