Bred for performance, the stunning Liberty GT spec.B is now tuned by STI for even more exhilaration.

SLegacy99 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Only 300. Wow. I want one, that is a good lookin car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 wow. manual or automatic transmission. Probably three colors, as well, if previous version is any indication. THIS car should be in the US market, at the current Spec B's price point. The current Spec B should be opened up for full color palette, and optional NAV, and price the spec B at the GT Limited's ~29k price point. Drop the price on the GT limited to 26k. Advertise and stock the cars. Step 2: ? Step 3: Profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaWolverine Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Are most or all of those tuned by STi modifications available for the USDM '08s LGT's via aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Are most or all of those tuned by STi modifications available for the USDM '08s LGT's via aftermarket? I suppose most are but, IMO, straight from the factory is generally better than aftermarket in terms of integration. Also, one of the biggest items the "tuned by STI" gets you is the Brembo brakes. I'd love those but don't want to pay $2500 or so for used parts that don't quite fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Ill wait for others to chime in, but that styling is NOT brand new. Its the same as the current Gen Japanese, Australian, and Euro models, minus the STi specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 And we dont have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basbal241b Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 So you think its no even worth waiting til mid year....just get the GT when the 08's come out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basbal241b Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 So you dont think they wll bring the auto transmission here with it....b/c that y didnt want the Spec B.....I was hoping that the "tuned by STI" legacy would come with an optional auto...like it says (I live in a very high traffic area...stick would be no good here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
