Ratman009 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 As long as it has the fold-flat rear seats, steering wheel audio controls, auto-dimming mirrors, and NAV as an option, this is all I want. Plus, you can choose stick or auto. Perfect. Why the heck can't they sell this in the US? A little more HP/torque, better suspension, improved steering feel, and more importantly - better brakes. Plus, it looks pretty damn mean. Oh yeah - the McIntosh audio system too. Me wants! http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/country/jcf/newsID/2070411.003/subaru/subaru-liberty-gt-tuned-by-sti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohmer1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Holy hell - that is just smoking hot. That front end makes me weak. I could even pick wheels that would make it look even better (although, don't get me wrong, those are SWEET). Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yeah, WTF? I hear SOA reads this site. Why don't they listen? At least let us special order it or something. If we could get that here I'd be looking for money in my couch to pony up a down payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 maybe we should have everyone email SOA and ask them to please bring this kind of option here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 if we got this car, with this front bumper.......i would completely ignore the ugly rear http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTsullyman Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I love the way it looks but it costs a whole lot. I mean that seems crazy high to me. Your getting into a whole new league of cars at that price point. Its looks like only 13-14 more HP too. 65990 Australian dollars = 54,289.973 U.S. dollars 2007 DGM LGT 2003 Suzuki SV650S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMsuby Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This is the one I want. Although, $54k is a bit high. I'm hoping that it is only that high because of AU tariff taxes and what not and US prices would be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0ebert Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Austrailian cars are always way more than the states though. Here I wouldn't expect it to be much more than than the Spec B (shouldn't be anyways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaWolverine Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This car would probably be around 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTsullyman Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^ Thats still wayy too much IMO for that car. 2007 DGM LGT 2003 Suzuki SV650S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^agreed... Aussie pricing is nuts...we sell our games for 40 more bucks just because that's what the market dictates... A SOA version built in Indiana will help keep the cost down...but the stratsophere package cost of Spec B makes me thing this would be insane. Here is a breakdown in Impreza pricing for a reference of what this may be for us... Pricing IMPREZA WRX TR SEDANIMPREZA - $23,995 WRX SEDANIMPREZA - $24,995 WRX STIIMPREZA - $33,495 WRX STI LIMITED - $33,495 Pricing LEGACY LEGACY 2.5 GT LIMITED SEDAN - $28,295 LEGACY 2.5 GT spec.B - $33,995 LEGACY 2.5 STi - $36,795 http://www.subaru.com/media/image/spacer.gif With an 8,500 price difference in the WRX and the STI I assumed it would be about the same over a LGT Limited...not nearly as much of an engine upgrade so that's why I based it off the LGT vs. the SPEC B All sedan pricing because we don't have an STI wagon Let the debate begin! Its a lost cause anyway... My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacychick Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I would find a way to afford that car! I'll send an email to SOA, since I'm on my lunch break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensukikatayo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It doesn't seem like Subaru's listening to their original customer base much these days anyhow... The 08 WRX is downright ugly... They finally brought the WRX over in 02 but no STi until 04. The Legacy's been here forever but never an STi As if people on this side of the Pacific don't want fast cars too. Oh well, that's what the aftermarket is for. 2007 OBP Legacy 2.5GT 5MT - vBGarage 2001 SSM 3.2CL Type-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhabodav Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You can make your own cheaper...I have MR Catback = Twin Tips RavSpec = Lip Spoiler Next..... (front lip spoiler, rims, ECU tune) There we go, engine and exterior wise, you got a 05-07 USDM style Legacy STI, now the interior, thats personal taste...

psucaptainkickass Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^ IMHO, the MR Catback isn't even close to the STI quad tip versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacychick Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I too have the MR catback, love it. Just adding a lip spoiler doesn't look quite as good as that bumper. The shape of it even makes the grille look good! I'm also finding out that the more you mess with your car, the more that can go wrong. The big thing I like about the STI is the suspension and brake upgrades, as well as the wheels. It would get pretty expensive buying all of that as aftermarket parts. To me, I'd rather include that in the price of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyss Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 For 37K I can do Euro delivery of 335 sedan. It is 36,175. Tough competition when you go above 35K. Krzys PS http://www.bmwusa.com/bmwexperience/EuropeanDelivery/savings.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^yup but I pass a dozen BMW's a day. One would think they could carve out a nice little niche. Like Subaru is kinda known for... Agreed on the more mods the more goes wrong...the name of the game. You would mod this car too I bet just not as much... My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Knowing SOA, they'd offer a similar version, but with the SpecB suspension and STi badging and none of the other options. Seems crazy to me that a country that thinks driving 5Km/hr over the speed limit will lead to a fatal collision gets all these nice models. Yup definatly a SOA move plus bumpers that stick out and crazy because traffic is so bad that SI drive makes a difference. My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
