Your colours are different to ours, but we don't have a claret either. I went for reddish blue, a really nice shade, suits the car well.

i thought you owned a silver svx. it sounds you are talking about the forester. i remember your avatar of your forester and that colour combination can only be found on the 2.5xs version. all of our turbos are monochromatic.

Blimey, good memory. Unfortunately the SVX had to go, too many problems and a good trade in for the XT. It is a shame that you only have the monochromatic turbos, they can look a little slab-sided without the two-tone.

thanks. as for the two-tone, i prefer it as well. given the option, i'd choose the same colour combination as you.

I just went to check out the Legacy GT. It's not a bad looking car at all. Dealer quoted me at $26K everything. \o/ Definately suprising considering it's a legacy... almost no turbo lag and it's blindingly fast. I love it. =D

still need to try the new forester and g35. but GT definately raised the bar quite high for my search.

Get the Legacy GT. A chip away from 300HP and it's got the AWD of the G35 Sedan but with better looks. I do like the G35 Coupe, good looking car, but if I could (and with all the car trouble lately I've been thinking about) I'd get the Legacy.

I can't back that up, but I'm sure it's almost that easy. THe STI guys are already making like 315 at the wheels and the GT has the same motor and a bigger IC than the Baja or Forester so.

Ah I did some research into that. I was pleasently suprised to find the potential of this car.. *drool* Anyways, after some driving around and reading around about the car I think i've decided on it. I love the outer looks of the car, interior is sweet, engine is suprisingly powerful and the price is well below the G35 that I'll have some money to spend on some mods. =]
