The B4 is coming...

Is this WTLW and I missed it? Subaru is bringing 500 B4 Legacys to the US in 2006. So says the latest issue of Sport Compact Magazine. Yum.

I don't think there is any difference between the B4 and the Legacy sedan that is currently here. In Japan, the B4 is just the name of the Legacy Sedan.

They must mean the spec. B (which is limited to 500 in the 06 MY, most of which are already sold).

Sighh... I saw the big letter B and got my panties in a bunch. Spec-B it is. Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery.

Nick,

What was the final word on the Spec B's? Are they just a suspension upgrade and one-off interior color?

Pretty much:

Bilsten Suspension (upgraded shocks and springs)
18" wheels with 215/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Custom exterior color (slightly bronze tinted silver)
Custom interior color (brick red leather)
Navigation w/ 5-spd Manual transmission (currently, Nav is only available with an Auto for some unknown reason).

I think thats it.

EDIT: ooh, I just looked into it some more. They also have aluminum control arms front and rear.

only things you missed are that the bilstien suspension is inverted in the front, like the STI, and there's a little number plate behind the shifter showing which out of 500 it is

They are selling it for MSRP.
we'll see.
