Legacy or Outback?

[lemming]

this is what is coming stateside, also.

note that in the interior shot of the 3.0R spec B car the nice LCD screen.

it's an intriguing car. i hope they also see fit to port that STi 6speed over to the 2.5GT vehicle.

if your parents are really into wagons, what about this?

Space. Last time I checked, Legacy GT/Outback 3.0 > any Saab 9-3 in interior space. That's also why they're not considering A4s, IS300s, Saabaru WRXs, etc. Looking for bare minimum midsized, preferably close to large.

Huh. That is very interesting. A slushie 3.0 Legacy wagon with navi would be an almost sure pick. But only if it comes with a slushie avaliable. Mom's not exactly going to play racer here, ya know.

the 3.0R would have several notable characteristics that are superior to the turbo engine for many people. fuel economy would be one of them, zero lag would be second and three would be reliability. that much heat under the hood, even in cars designed for that level of heat soak is still a big burden for the componentry under the hood.

The only thing I don't like about the 3.0's is that in the US, they are only available in tan leather interiors.

I'd actually love to have black MB-Tex (vinyl) inside. Oh, and the GT seats are sweet too.

I'll definitely give you a heads up lemming. Thanks for the offer.

Yup, me too.

And I actually like the tan, I think it looks good with the red exterior.

Is that Navi/3.0 coming this fall? I keep thinking that it would be so perfect if it were.
