Interior Pics

[ha-evolution]

I just found this one. I want the center LCD gauge screen!

More pics are welcome.

I think we have to get the NAV pkg to get this "gauge screen" when the NAV is in the OFF mode...I will be getting the NAV then...whatever it takes to get that great BOOST display (one of the three displays of info)!!! :lol:

[SUBE555]

I would also welcome the setup as an option at least. The Skylines actually had a bit more function in their similar setup IIRC as they had like G-forces and a whole load of things you could look at. It looked pretty sick for a stock setup. I think that was on at least the R34 GTR, but possibly earlier too.

The Mac looks nice, but I wonder if we can get a nice 4-gauge cluster in that spot where the DVD/Nav system is in. :evil:

[PPower]

3 gauge cluster should be able to be bought.

[SUBE555]

I'm just wanting them hidden or semi-hidden. Close that little door on the dash and walla, they're gone. :D

[EJ20H-TT]

I have always liked the clean look

Sometimes less is more

[SUBE555]

Maybe an LCD panel of virtual gauges could be better. Would be best if you could overlook a whole host of gauge info. Hmm.

[ha-evolution]

I prefer the non-cluttered look also. It's one thing to have a bunch of gauges sitting on the dash if you have a WRX but they wouldn't quite fit in with the luxo Legacy.

[SUBE555]

And thats why something in that cubbyhole would be perfect. :)

[Derbagger]

scratch the NAV, give me the MAC, and a tiny turbo guage

[SUBE555]

I wish the turbo gauge was integrated into the dash. :P

[Dr. Zevil]

There are so many possibilities with that little cubby in the dash. I think that the NAV option will cost around $2000 if it's offered. I am guessing, but that's what I remember as pricing on some other manufacture's NAV options. Whatever is put in there it needs to be slick, stealthy and classy. I do hope that they have an option for NAV perhaps. Or maybe even a "digital guage pack" for us that want the slick little display unit but don't want to pay for a full fledged NAV system.

[team23jordan]

loving that lcd screen

[Lafite]

Mine without LCD / NAV Computer... :oops:

[SUBE555]

How much was the Nav for an option over there?

[team23jordan]

open that thingy up and take another pic :o

I just noticed that this looks different from other McIntosh pictures I've seen. All of the others had that bad brushed metal look that clashed with the rest of the console. Now I need to look for the old pictures.

AWESOME GAUGES SHOT!!! Thanx for the new pictures...looks great! :D

[SUBE555]

I'm looking forward to it. :)

[PPower]

USDM STi buffs, is 375mm the size of the US STi wheel? Lafite, how about a picture of your gauges with the engine turned off? I was wondering if they are all black like the STi Impreza or still show the markings but not lit up.

They're all black.

[PPower]

Thanks. That's what I thought. The photos of the gauges on www.need-desire.com gallery look to be very different. :(

[SUBE555]

We'll find out Preston. If that doesn't come the first year, perhaps there will be one of those minor upgrades like the bugeye->crosseye. ;)

GAUGE SHOT IS AMAZING

now that's AN ART :o

[AMT4SWA]

Looks like "Battlestar Gallactica" with all the reflection shades!!! COOL! :P

[axis008]

Lafite, what features does your clock have? I noticed one picture it said E/T (what's that? estimated time?) and the other Dist? (not sure on that..)

[MSB]

The E/T is elapsed time, or the time since you turned the key in the ignition. Dist, is actually DISP (button on bottom left), this is used to go through the functions on the display.

Off the top of my head, they are External Temperature, E/T, average fuel consumption, current fuel consumption, distance before refuel. I think thats' about it, I keep mine on temp as the fuel consumption can get a bit depressing driving round a city in an auto.

[goneskiian]

Anybody out there got pics of the GT's Taupe interior?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure it will be the same taupe as the Outback's interior.

[goneskiian]

Thanks kage. That's what I was guessing too, I just haven't seen any pics of it without the plood trim and I know the GT won't get plood.

-Ian

[ha-evolution]

Behold!

http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/bt/gallery/in007_wp_s.jpg

If it will be the same as the JDM version then it looks sweet IMO.

And another shot:

Need-desire the video gauges!
:D

One final view:

All from JDM land.

[gtguy]

There can't be anything in that cubbyhole...that's where my sunglasses go! :lol:

[SUBE555]

More convenient than reaching to the glove box or center console. Keeps eyes close to the road.

That's where my Oakleys will probably go.

[ha-evolution]

Is it just me or are the inside of the B and C pillars white???

[SUBE555]

Looks like the same color as the base of the seats.

[racerdave]

Does the GT get the same seats as in that B4?

[ha-evolution]

The bolsters looks much more aggressive than the US version but it could just be the color.

[SUBE555]

Does the GT get the same seats as in that B4?

What do you mean by B4, B4 was termed as the Sedan models for all (not just turbo models) BE chassis and the new BL chassis sedan models?

[racerdave]

Well, I was just going by the "B4" in those pics...

But let me rephrase... are the US seats the same as those in the pics above?

[ha-evolution]

That's what I gathered you meant but does anyone know? The more I see it the more I like. I might be changing my mind about getting the limited. Black with taupe looks SO good.

[racerdave]

Yes, that's a lovely color combo. Or, RB with taupe would be hot too...

But not for me... I'm getting a GT... no leather. Also, with a 2-yr-old, dark colors are a must. :)

[ha-evolution]

Also, with a 2-yr-old, dark colors are a must. :)

I can only imagine. You could get the white leather but just tell the dealer to leave the plastic on the seats. :D

[SUBE555]

'KIDS, IT'S NOT A COLORING BOOK!"

You might want to have to pat the kids down for any stray markers, pencils, or crayons. :D

That would SUCK if a child started coloring on taupe leather! I could imagine the dad (or mom?) crying right now.........

[ha-evolution]

A more likely scenario is probably sticky candy, messy food, staining drinks, etc. dirtying up that pretty leather.

[dimil]

Well... My daugther is almost 3 and I'm concidering Regal Blue Pearl with taupe leather...
The only problem that I had with beige leather in Infiniti that I had was some dirt marks from her shoes. It wasn't that hard to clean. So I'll take the risk.

[racerdave]

yeah, what ha said is what I'm more concerned about. That said, leather cleans up pretty easy.

However, one of my son's favorite beverages is well-diluted purple grape juice. I've found dried up stick patches in my wife's Volvo V70, which has a graphite interior (not quite black). It's cleaned up well, but I'd hate to put taupe to that test.

[dimil]

I see now, the only drink in the car for her is water and orange juice, and the little chocolate (twice a year) is easy to clean.

[ha-evolution]

Anyone have any experience with dogs and leather? Especially around pit bull size?

[dimil]

will be destroyed - tested with siberian husky

[ha-evolution]

Thanks for the info. Nice dog - too bad about the leather though.

[racerdave]

That's where the wagon comes in handy... dog does cargo hold duty. :)

[goneskiian]

Definitely skipping the Taupe leather. What a PITA to keep clean. Especially all the shoe scuff marks low on the door and lower door sill. The charcoal should hide the "Ooops's" quite a bit easier. :wink:

So, looks like it's going to be a silver "sleeper" GT Ltd. for me! :smile:

-Ian

[racerdave]

I'm right with you on all fronts, Ian... :)

Of course, it will depend on... actually being able to drive one. :twisted:

[ha-evolution]

After seeing Paul's interior I probably will be skipping leather anyway.

Oh man- that is one nice setup with the nav or the digital gauges! I think I'll keep my cell phone in mine though.

[Sub-attraction]

The 360 interior view of the GT wagon is available now on subaru.com:
http://www.subaru.com/servlet/research?model=LEGACY&trim=25_GT_WAGON&command=pho tos

Gives a better idea of what the sport seats are like for the Ltd model.

[godwhomismike]

Are the gauges blue?

http://www.legacysti.com/files/interior_nightrev.jpg

[Drift Monkey]

blue and red.

[godwhomismike]

blue and red.

My favorite combo - excellent!!!!!

[axis008]

Also... I photoshopped that picture above from Paul's wonderful Legacy. It's really right hand drive! I mean... if that picture was real, he'd be going what... 180KM/H since that's the limit?

[Drift Monkey]

My favorite combo - excellent!!!!!
If you haven't seen it: http://www.hotsubaru.com/legacy/legacygt.mpg

[brady_bunch]

I noticed they updated the .mpg to take out audio of the guy that was asking questions after they closed the door. :)

[7stars]

What is the music in the background? It's familiar, but i don't remember what it's called. It just sounds like it'd go perfect with that car.

[axis008]

Haha. That was me that did the video. Kevin wanted me to take out the sound of the people talking and change the classical music in the background. The song I used was Aaron Copland - Variations On a Shaker Melody.

[godwhomismike]

blue and red.

After work, I took a ride to the local subaru dealership and looked at the guages lit up at dusk and they looked white to me, is there a way to change them to blue? What exactly is elumencent gauges?

- Mike

[Drift Monkey]

It's a blueish white actually, possibly depending on the angle you're viewing it from.

An aricle breifly explaining electroluminescent lighting can be found here: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/electroluminescent_display_ELD.html

[brady_bunch]

Good job on the video update! That conversation was distracting from the video. :)

[axis008]

Thanks! I used Pinnacle Studio 9 if anyone is familiar with video editing. It was my first time using it making the video before I edited it, but it's pretty straightforward to use, although I don't like the interface.
