Legacy Blitzen 2006 site is up

[Mach V Dan]

Blitzen official web site (www.subaru.co.jp/blitzen2006)

Personally, the styling is not for me. I think the wheels are homely, and the front looks like a bad rendition of an Audi A4. But hey, it's different. The price isn't bad, either.

Aw, man, I mis-spelled the thread title. Blitzen, not "Blitz." Help, moderators!

three revisions on the Blitzen, (04, 05, now 06) at least 2 WR Limited, STI tuned limited edition, 2.0 GT Spec B production option, a history with the Blitzen, RSK, and S401...

And the best they can do in the US is 500 Spec B cars... The USDM Spec B is a fine car, but Japan certainly sees the Legacy as quite a fashionable sport sedan and touring wagon.

If FHI and SOA would get the hint that this kind of boutique marketing might do well in the US (with appropriate pricing and levels of equipment to compete with the rest of the market, and some advertizing dollars...)
and bring some of these models, or at least some of this equipment as options...

Legacy would rise above an also-ran beside the Outback, and every other USDM four-door car.

No thanks on the Blitzen. C'mon STi!

Fixed.....

[cbroo]

now if I could only speak Japanese I would be able to read the site and not look at the pictures

[ebpda9]

that black sedan tries too much too look as an audi.

[MIKEBRAVO]

I think they both look sweet. You gotta remember its only been five years since Subaru started any sort of redesign, prior to that all models looked homely.

[Nick360]

It is a nice looking car....but for cryin' out loud......

Where is the 6 speed? :icon_ques

[Mines]

i really like that gray color.

[rfd425]

Personally, I don't know how anyone can draw much of a conclusion from those pics. I'd prefer they lose the special-effects lighting, and just show some good clear 360* pics.

Ewww- those wheels have to go!

[scoobydude]

+1, effin fugly. I did a Yen to Dollar conversion of the most expensive one they had on the website and here is the damage:

3,801,000.00 JPY = $32,613.54 USD

[IwannaSportSedan]

I wish the USDM Spec B were that price, and don't tell me it can't be done, as a Blitzen is a 2.0GT Spec B underneath, plus the fancy clothes...

I could care less about the wheels. I would probably put RG-Rs on it anyway, and save the snowflake wheels for driving through the snowflakes! :D

[heightsgtltd]

I really like the grey one. Would totally jump on that if it was for sale here.

[FARIS]

but did you see the kickin' key fob?

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and

Prancer, and Vixen,

Comet, and Cupid, and

Donner and Blitzen... Where's Santa? And Ruldoplh?

The front bumper is ok, not as hideous at the Audi but I still don't understand the appeal of the whole dropped down grill thing...
The tail pipes are stuffed into the rear bumper.. er.. should I say the rear bumper is wrapped around the tailpipes like a Mazda Speed 6... I don't like that...

Hmmm Still no Turbo H6 :(

[Hanger]

it's too roundish for my taste

[Drakuun]

Looks like it's trying too hard to be uber refined..loses it's toughness.. still totaly hawt though.

[tytek]

i hate the way USDM '8mph bumpers' look - on any car for that matter. that is one of the reasons why i like the blitzen ones.

the grill looks a little too ghetto/escalade like - but i like that it looks somewhat audiesque (or alfa romeo like)

[OCDetails]

Blech... I don't like it at all. That front is wrong because the grille goes way too far out. The back bumper is all wrong too. I'd never buy it no matter what is under the hood. It's just not purdy enough. Bring on the Legacy STI TT super sedan!

[mudfoot]

im not feelin the the front grill.. but i love that rear bumper on the wagon

[motion_157]

I think those rims are wicked...anyone know if you can buy those, or if they're new to this legacy package?

Actually, scratch that request...I saw one of the pictures straight on, they don't look that great. On an angle they looked good, but not so much directly from the side.

[iyamdman]

Ya, the 2005 was much better looking.

Aaaahhhhhhh......now I understand.;)

[Opie]

that blitzen sedan is the f'n hawtness!

And the wagon is sweet too!

[twisted]

i'll take 1 old and 1 new...both in red or wrc blue with gold rims please....and dont wrap em too tight...i wanna drive them later tonite....!!!!

[Waxiboy]

Ewww- those wheels have to go!

[agctr]

I dont mind it but the back bar on both the sedan and wagon could be considered to be a bit out there....... otherwise looking good. Not that we will ever see these in Oz or States side.

[elpete77]

Me loves the way teh rear bumber cuddles the pipes. So romantic.

[legacysteve68]
