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

At your local aftermarket parts dealer, and then at your local sticker shoppe.

Im a big fan of subaru and i think they should bring their line up to U.S. After owning wrx i definately want to get another suabru

Beautiful. A very Mazda/Acura-esque package. Subtle power. I'd take this over the WRX STi. In wagon-trim, please.
Rob @ Aug 9th 2006 3:00PM
mm sexay...
epilonious, you're so clever. oh wait, no you're not.
jordan @ Aug 9th 2006 3:03PM
Why hold back on the extra 20 ponies that the WRX STI has? I'd love this car (the WRX is too small for all the stuff I carry around, and I like my friends to have a bit more leg room in the back), but I'm curious as to why they knock off those horses instead of giving it as many, if not more than, as the WRX STI (more family-sedan style or not, this is supposed to come across as "sporty," and i want my "sport" :D)

this is HOT.
Bob-o @ Aug 9th 2006 3:35PM
jordan: they have the 2.0L turbo, not the 2.5L we have here.
Drewboy @ Aug 9th 2006 3:37PM
I'd really like to have this car in either sedan or wagon form, or the Forester STI. The WRX screams "LOOK AT ME!" with that wing, and even the special 2007 edition still screams look at me. I like the Spec-B, I'd buy it if I had the moolah!
jordan @ Aug 9th 2006 3:42PM
Bob-o: thanks for the clarification. I guess I tend to overlook details like that. :)

After just selling my bugeyed wrx I am definitely itching to get into a legacy. A paddle shift 5 speed auto would suit the bill for me quite nicely. STI trim would make me even happier about it but id be glad to have that 5speed auto with a 2.5 gt. or b-spec mayhaps? Please SUBARU PLEASEEEE!

What a beautiful underbody frame support brace! We might not have the STi Legacy here, but one of the major mags just tried to outspec the Spec-B by installing Tien coilovers and stickier tires. Result - Spec B+! I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to chip the LSB either to make more than the stock ~243hp from that 2.5T.

Nice, but shouldn't that STi badge be pink?
risingsun @ Aug 9th 2006 4:30PM
Beautiful.

My turn to dramout Rob:
You're just pissed because I make fun of your precious Acura TL
Which this car will also kill because it has power to the rear wheels :D
kevin @ Aug 9th 2006 4:51PM

qaz @ Aug 9th 2006 7:06PM
I want one I want one I want one I want one.
North American bumper regulations.. makes our legacys look stupid.
Dana @ Aug 9th 2006 8:30PM
I want one in wagon form.
ross @ Aug 9th 2006 8:35PM
Hot damn! I want one. My uncle owns a Legacy GT Wagon, and that car is a blast to drive...so I can't imagine how much fun this is.
BRING THIS CAR TO THE STATES, SUBARU!
Vetteguy @ Aug 9th 2006 10:57PM
