^^ Its known as the Legacy B4. And it rocks!

The interior of the LGT w/ the leather and sunroof looks/feels great to me.

I hijacked this >> http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10749 from www.legacygt.com. It tells about the fitment of jdm bumper covers.

Cliff Notes: JDM bumper does not fit on USDM bumper beam even without foam. Modification of USDM beam or JDM beam is REQUIRED. Other issues are USDM grille does not fit, fog lights possibly not fitting properly and underbody plastic difference.

 

How about the handling? I haven't really heard anything about the Altima R, so I don't know what improvements Nissan may have made, but everything I've read about the regular Altima is that the thing handles like a wet noodle. Good power, good acceleration, but the suspension, even on the 3.5 models, is just not a sporting suspension at all.

Actually what everone is calling the Legacy STi is not the B4, it is the S401. It was a limited model tuned and upgraded by STi. It was never a production level car like the Forester STi is.

 

meh, it was lackluster. didn't feel overly mushy, but it wasn't all that great either. i was kind of disappointed, you expect an "R" model to be something special, you know?

 

i crawled up and down that car. the rims had STi stickers on them, it had a perrin short ram, had a rice wing, the exaust was not jdm(i think) for the most part it was a good marketing ploy to get people to look at the legacy-

while the car may seem "overdone" to me.. it was definitely different than all the "blah" at the car show.

and btw, i'm not sure i would be sporting spt stickers and sti stickers on a "pimp" LGT
