svxistentialist: You're kidding!!!! The Japanese Legacys had the switch!?!?!? Oh man, now I really regret giving up the Legacy, this would make a huge change for all the auto transmission guys!!!!

No, not kidding, they had the switch. It stands to reason. They use the same 4EAT gearbox, why would they not have the same Power mode as the SVX?

Here's a transcription of how it is described:

"AT POWER MODE SWITCH:
For changing driving conditions you have a choice between normal and power mode options on the automatic transmission.
Normal Mode: Used in normal conditions (most economic driving) i.e. city driving, dry normal roads etc.
Power Mode: In this mode with the select lever in 2-D range it will give the engine more power. However this mode is not as economic as in Normal mode options. This mode is useful for hills, faster starts etc. When the Power mode is switched on the POWER light will show. "

With this description is a little diagram showing where to push the button on the shifter.
