for US models, id rather have a Legacy GT than an WRX STi, looks better not racerish, larger and better interior, easily moddable to STi power levels

07 Legacy Spec B has a 6 speed offered now, theres some pics of it down here, plus it has that performance **** so you can back off power to have better mileage and then crank it to full power when you need performance,

Damn, that's a nice car!
I especially like the Mclntosh radio

I hope that's not a variation on BMW's iDrive

That is very nice. I like the styling inside and out as well.

That's the SI-Drive, which lets you choose between some sort of sports and economy modes (economy cuts horsepower output but gives you better gas mileage). I think it's great

The Japanese are getting the facelifted Legacies already, with the nice interior (especially the big round shifter plate part). The US always get some watered-down version of the Legacy. The B-Spec is somewhat watered down from the JDM version as well. If they can do a good job on the new USDM one, it would be a very strong competitor
