It's been a year since the last JDM Legacy "tuned by STI" hit Subaru's home-market showrooms, and like clockwork, the new version has been announced. The package is available for the Legacy Touring Wagon and the Legacy B4 sedan. The "tuned by STI" cars are based on the 2.0 GT spec.B package, which plants a 260-hp/253 lb-ft (5AT) or 280-hp/253 lb-ft (6MT) turbo four-cylinder underhood. From there, a full STI visual upgrade is applied, and additional enhancements/accessories include:
  • STI 18" wheels
  • STI leather key case
  • McIntosh audio system
  • HDD navigation system
  • STI springs and dampers
  • STI strut tower bar
  • Brembo brakes
  • STI sport muffler
  • STI-branded sill plates
  • STI-programmed ECU
Power is delivered to all four wheels via a 5-speed auto with the Prodrive-developed Sportshift or a traditional 6-speed manual. As was the case last time, we can't get them here. The wagon looks great, of course, which makes us feel even worse, since we're now limited to just the Outback in that body style.

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?
