STi Subaru Legacy to be introduced in Japan.

Looks like Subaru is going to add to their intimidating lineup of heavily modified autos. I wonder if Subaru will release this in the U.S. as well??

"Yesterday, Subaru announced the Subaru Legacy "tuned by STi" package for the Japanese market. Limited to 600 units total, the tuner kit can be ordered for either the Legacy Wagon or Legacy B4 (sedan). No engine modifications are part of the package since it's available only for the 2.0 GT spec.B trim, which already features Legacy's top-of-the-line 280-horsepower mill.

The list of add-ons includes the following:

Sport suspension feat. Bilstein dampers
18" STi wheels
STi front and rear spoilers
Brembo brake upgrade
Leather/Alcantara seating with red contrast stitching

STi electro-luminescent gauge pack
STi badging
STi muffler with dual tip
Al of those are applied to the recently-facelifted Legacy, which looked great to begin with, to give it a decidedly sportier look and feel than the already-impressive spec.B model. In addition to the body style, buyers can choose between 6-speed manual or 5-speed (paddle-shift) automatic transmissions. Pricing ranges from ¥3,979,500 ($34,700 USD) to 4,116,000 ($35,800 USD). Dealers are taking orders now, and deliveries will commence in February.

Japan gets all the fun. Forester STi, Legacy STi ... Come on, Subaru! Where's the love?"

man that thing's sleek. i've always liked the new lagacy, but i'd like it even more if they brought the STi version to the U.S. too, that'd be sweet.

 

O soo nice
