the new outback 3.0 R sedan

post up what you guys think about it, i love the foglights, but it's a 6 cylinder non-turbo, and has 40 foot lbs less torque than the leggy gt, but it is interesting to me, and no i'm not trading in my car. but this car is definitely different, and IIRC it is the 1st outback sedan that is produced in large numbers.

ralph, who was our main distributor guy at SOH never ordered those. too expensive and no real market for it here in hawaii.... i remember when we ordered the new legacies last year and the msrp was around 33,000!
i think if anyone even ordered one it was schuman.. but that's it.

I saw one at Subaru of Hawaii a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't ever buy one, but it did look pretty sick for an Outback.

LOL.. That "nicest" picture is 2 doors down from my old house in Sunnyvale, CA. I drove by that car every day. I waved, gave thumbs up, everything so many times and never got anything back. Even said hi once driving by in my WRX, dude was standing right there and flat out ignored me.

BTW the 3.0 has been out for a long time. Is the R a new model? I have seen 3.0 legacy sedans at the dealer every time I went in CA. I love the 3.0 and would so want one in my RS. With a turbo or two you can get some rediculous power out of those as well as a completely unique exhaust note.

I saw some driving around

Anchorage Alaska...didn't know what they were at the time since I didn't see any here in Honolulu...had to get on the internet to see what it was...Subaru is definitely spicing up their styling points...

Subaru's are very popular there for a good reason...I believe the dealer in Anchorage is the largest seller of Subaru's in the US....there are soo many driving around...you even see the occasional early 80's little wagon rumbling by...those engines back then were tiny! They sound like sewing machines going by...

I think this is just secks:


If I had the money, or maybe in a few years when depreciation has taken it's toll, I'd do an STi trans swap and add forced induction (t67 or something) to that H6. I'd leave appearance completely stock.
