Default Limited Subaru Legacy Spec B?

Subaru Ebay Link

Is Subaru trying to raise the image and value of this car? Only 500 made...

It looks real nice with the touch screen GPS, MOMO shifters, Bilstein Suspension and others..

IMHO It is a very capable vehicle that hasn't received the credit it deserves. It is kind of a grown-up WRX (not calling the WRX a kids' car, mind you).

Yea that one is pretty sick minus the fact it's a wagon. Too bad they never bring the fun cars to the US.

Subaru VERY frequently makes certain vehicle grades (usually a Spec-C) with a production number of 500 or so. In many "stock" car racing series, 500 is about the number the racing sanction recognizes as a vehicle being a "production model," and not a one-off or a handmade car. USUALLY in these cases, they are STi WRXs with manual air conditioning, 15" steel donut wheels (because they know everyone will put their own wheels on anyway), and upgraded suspension, along with several other teardown ready features. This Spec-B is weird though.

I see nothing super special. If they bumped the power up to 280 then maybe it would be worth it. I do like the GPS however, since when I bought mine it was not available. The car handles pretty well without making the suspension harder.
