2005 Subaru Legacy STi

mikeyb · 10-01-2004, 10:11 PM

Recently, Subaru unveiled the STi version of the popular WRX sedan, boasting even more power, more grip and more fun. Apparently, the WRX won't be the only STi model for long. The next Subarus to wear the STi performance badge will be the Legacy sedans and wagons, which will be redesigned within two years. Built to compete against cars such as the Audi A4 and BMW M3, the high-performance Legacy is rumored to produce upward of 350 hp from a twin-turbocharged version of the company's 4-cylinder opposed engine. And because it's a Subaru, that power will be channeled through all four wheels. The new Legacy will have sleeker sheetmetal for all models. Versions without the STi performance equipment might be offered with a new diesel co-developed with Isuzu.

Now how true is this?

That car looks sweet and the stats, if accurate, are f---in' awesome. I almost bought the 2005 Legacy GT recently, but held off for the Mazdaspeed 6 to complement our MSP Protege. This new Legacy will be arriving right about the time that the MSP Protege gets retired to weekend only status. Deciding whether to drive the AWD MSP 6 or the Legacy STi to work will be a really tough decision...LOL!

50/50 power and weight distribution means no over steer, no understeer, four wheel power slides thru turns.

Who could ask for more?
