osunick Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 The original Impreza was based on the original Legacy, and the cars have continued to share a platform for as long as they've existed. There are obvious differences (multilink vs strut rear suspension) but overall they share many components. This is not a bad thing, amortizing development costs for a single platform across multiple lines can result in better products overall. Doesn't mean it's the EXACT SAME chassis, just that major components are either shared or developed together. Does it really matter that the master cylinder on your legacy is the same as on an impreza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacygtspeed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Dude, that's the point, wrong pictures! from Edmunds.com? doh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacygtspeed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well...not just the wrong pictures, they seemed all right, kind of match the description:"The new Impreza WRX STI limited is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter DOHC Boxer engine producing 293 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 290 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission." The writer used a wrong name...but I like the news of the six-speed tranny though.

Joel Gat Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hello, It's because half the writing staff for Edmunds is ex-Sport Compact Car guys. Yay Josh Jacquot! Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob N Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Gentlemen! Get off the crack! Edmunds is correct, go to Subaru of America and learn about the new 2007 WRX STI Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacygtspeed Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Bob N, If Edmunds is correct, I'll call my LegacyGT Wagon a WRX Wagon in 2007...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob N Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Apparently I'm missing something? The article refers to the WRX STI Limited and it's a picture of a WRX STI Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Apparently I'm missing something? The article refers to the WRX STI Limited and it's a picture of a WRX STI Limited? No... you're right. I don't see anything wrong with the article or photos. Subaru annouced that they are producing a WRX STi Limited.... What am I missing? I don't see any issues.

Joel Gat Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hello, Bob N, there are two articles on the Edmunds page. One is about the STI Limited and the other is about the Spec B. Both had the same pictures, including the "intelligent drive" knob in the STI article. If they fixed it, then the funny isn't as funny any more. That said, I really am interested in hearing more about the new Impreza. I might have to trade in my '07 STI limited for one of the '08s. Joel, becoming a subaru-whore. Wait. Long time Subaru whore.

Bob N Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 They must have fixed it because the link at the start of this thread refers to a WRX LImited STI and also pictures it. It also makes sense as to why eveyone was slamming Edmunds. As for the new WRX STI Limited, I wish I had that option when I purchased my LGT. Not saying I would have bought it but I would have thought very seriously about it. Never liked the huge wing on the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Doesn't mean it's the EXACT SAME chassis, just that major components are either shared or developed together. Does it really matter that the master cylinder on your legacy is the same as on an impreza? For some, yes, such as Impreza owners wanting bigger brakes overall and want a match bigger MC to go with it. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacygtspeed Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Folks, that's it! they fixed it(oh they broke the link?)! no more fun...no more dream. I've been waiting for the combination of that 293/290 match with 6 spd and revised rear suspension (hell noisy in my GT Wagon)...is there a way I can close this "Ticket" ? lol!
