Legacy Spec B
 
Think the US will get this thing. I'd love to get my hands on one. :D

at an MSRP of $34k, i don't think so.

i would like the Bilstein suspension and possibly the MP3 stereo, but that's it.

the wheels are ugly (IMHO) and would be a nightmare to keep clean, not diggin' the red leather interior, keep the Nav, and the rest is nothing big - special floor mats, aluminum pedal covers.

i got my LGT for a little over $24k, added an MP3 stereo w/dual aux inputs, GPS Navigation, and some aluminum pedal covers. that leaves me over $9k to get suspension and 18" wheels and tires of my choice if i wanted. i added Cobb stage 1, Perrin foam filter, and Perrin lightened crank pully, and that still leaves over $8k for stage 2 bits, brakes and suspension over the cost of a Spec B. ;)

for that much, they should at least have put some Brembos on it.

OK, I wsnt really paying attention to the price. I was drooling over the boxer-6/ 6-speed combo. I'd really like a B4 Blitzen. :D

Yeah the 6spd has a pretty big benifit, does any one know if it comes with a r180 rear end, i agree tho that it should come with at least brembos also tyo make the 34 K worth it.

the US will not get a 6 speed in the Spec B.

The spec B looks nice, but I'd rather have the tuning potential of a 2.5L turbo engine over a 3.0L n/a...

Does any one know how much its going to coast in the U.S., if they took the 6spd out and put the 2.5T in it they woulod have to lower the cost of it significantley.
