New Legacy pics (56k, go make a sammich)

[Landshark]

if you haven't seen it already. no urinal grille for the new Leggy! looks like the "goatse-look" front end on the current Imprezas may be officially dead.









paddle shifters.

The new Legacy looks sweet. It would be nice if the design of the JDM 2.0GT Spec B carried over to the US version! The SI-Drive also looks like it'll be a cool gizmo to play with!

I'll wait till the all new '08 Impreza platform comes out before deciding the direction of my next car purchase in 3 years. I'm definitely leaning towards serious performance WITH compromises in everyday utility. If I can swing the payments, the Nissan GT-R will be mine!!! If not, the '08+ STI (which is supposed to make 340+hp and have a multi-link rear suspension - no more McPherson struts!!!) is starting to sing a sweet song to me...

i'm thinking the GT-R will be at least $60k - too much to spend on a car for me. i will be looking at a future STi (if it has a SMG gearbox), or the EVO. who knows, maybe when i'm ready a Legacy STi will be available.

I'm anticipating the new GT-R to be in the 60K+ range. I'm just hoping it won't be in the 75K+ range!

Might wanna buy one of them urinal grilled thingamabobs, I bet in 400 years theyll be worth something (Even if they are ugly)
Wait a sec..that was supposed to be ugly urinal grill...not ugly urinal girl...

...for me to buy one on the spot and forgoe the Nissan GT-R:

• 340+bhp and 340+ft/lbs (under the new SAE standards)
• Larger brake rotors f&r requiring a switch to 18" wheels (think Porsche Carrera sized 13" rotors)
• Multi-link rear suspension
• Larger sway bars front & rear (at least 25")
• Adjustable sport-tuned suspension OR a true 'track ready' suspension (like the Lotus Elise)
• 245 sized summer tires
• Better front bucket seats
• None of that nasty blue carpet & seat upholstery
• Curb weight in the 3,200-3,250lb range
• A much larger stock turbo (ditch IHI turbos and go for TD06 20G)
• Lightweight aluminum roof (like the Evo MR)
• A price in the 35-36K range tops!
• A Nurburgring lap time under 8 minutes! (not a must have, but a like to have!)

Its going to be way overpriced for the performance. How much better can it be than an Evo or STi? And it don't got four doors!

Interior looks cheap.
