Wow, this profile shot looks really nice! Too bad the rear end looks like a Mazda 3. Though if it comes with ~330hp and interior borrowed from the Legacy, who cares! (As long as the tranny isn't made from glass, like previous Subies...)

What Subbies had glass transmissions beyond the SVX?
I had 2 of those and the fix was pretty straightforward.
I have had 3 others (2 manuals and one auto). The first manual a '96 Legacy GT was @ 130k when I traded it in on an H-6 Outback, which is at 160k with no tranny issues.
My currentl Spec. B is at 30k with no issues except a little clutch maintenance needed because I let one of my college buddies drive it, forgetting how difficult it was to teach him to drive stick back in the 1980's.

The 02-03 bugeye WRXs did not have relatively strong trannies. The trannies were updated with the introduction of the new Legacy.
