The turbo Legacy won't be 30K, it'll start around 27-28K and be called the Legacy GT (2.5L-Turbo, 250HP, 0-60 5.7 sec) it will be availible with one of 3 tranny's; 5-speed manual, 5-speed auto, 5-speed auto w/sportshift paddles on the steering wheels. Expect it in showrooms in late summer to fall of '04 as a 2005 model.

May to June of '04 we should see the new 2005 body style, but it will initially only be availible in the L & Outback styles with either a revised 2.5L-N/A motor rated at 170HP or a 3.0L-H6 motor rated at 230HP

BTW, the new Legacy weighs less than the current WRX by about 40 lbs! Now if you really want a kicker, wait until Fall of '05 when the rumored Legacy STi hits our shores as a 2006 model. Rumored 2.5L Twin-turbo 350HP screamer!

This is what I'm hearing from my "source" anyhoo!
Grazie Opie. I was thinking of the Legacy STi (S204?). I hope that 350hp number is conservative, since the car's going to be heavier than the STi. All that typing and I would still MUCH rather have a STi or better yet, a Spec C conversion :o!! The Forester or Legacy would be cool if I were one of you old, married guys, but I'm not dead yet.
