The red Asterope Legacy is nice.

Nice to see she's wearing the Subaru colors

Give me that red one without the stupid wing (the hood ornament I'd keep though).

I believe the hood ornament is part of the premium option package.

Great pix....THANX!!! I wish I could see the front lip better for the "GIALLA" body kit front on the black B4. I like the side skirt piece very nice for this body kit (GIALLA website in Japan does not have this kit on their website yet....swell?). The STI wing looks great also...wow this car looks awesome!!!

THANX SUBARU!!! :D

In regards to the Asterope, it is a show car only done for some disabled person as it has steering wheel gas& brake controls. At last year's show, they had a red chop top STi w/ butterscotch leather interior w/ 4 bucket seats. It also had the hand operated gas & brake controls. It was an amazing job. Anyway, I didn't realize who had done that car until I started hunting information after getting these pics:

Anyway, the company ASTe turns out to be owned by Subaru and is a manufacturer of STi parts. I'm guessing it could be the Genome line. Anyhoo. The widebody kit on the white one above and red car from the TAS 2003 is where the rumors started popping up (I assume) about the next S203 being a widebody.

Now this year, ASTe made the ASTe-rope Legacy and an Impreza. Asterope is one of the 9 systems that make up the Pleiades. So in a way, this could be some speculation about a widebody version of the Legacy for an S402.

Here is another interesting site for all... www.sclabo.com
Have fun...they had a booth set up next to the main Subaru booth at the Auto Salon.

OK I see the difference in this Gialla. It reminds me of some of their Corsa line, so I'll keep an eye out there. I'd be really afraid of hitting something and cracking that lip. At least it appears to be just a lip instead of the whole bumper.

Thanks for the link. Here are a couple of pics I found that I like.

I really like the new Leg, those dual-outlet mufflers would be pretty cool, but I bet everything on that car costs a fortune.

Yummay, gotta love those wheel arches on that Asterope Impreza. I'm not really too biased towards Legacy considering I have a couple of friends with STi's and me being very performance oriented, I really could do without the upscale efforts of the Legacy for all-out performance. That's just me though.
