The Impreza WRX TR, though ready for customization, is by no means "de-contented." Owners will not give up comfort and convenience while they plan modifications and purchase parts. The generous standard equipment list includes air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors and door locks, leather-wrapped steering wheel, AM/FM stereo system with single-disc CD player, remote keyless entry, security system with new engine immobilizer, an outside temperature gauge and even carpeted floor mats.


Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B Becomes U.S. Citizen

The Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B stands as the ultimate Legacy model for 2006, a fully equipped factory custom available to only 500 customers. Like the Impreza WRX and WRX STI models, the Legacy spec.B built a loyal following in Japan and Europe before coming to the United States. As it did with those models, Subaru designed a version of the Legacy spec.B specially tailored for U.S. customers.

The 2.5-liter intercooled turbo Boxer engine in the Legacy spec.B produces 250 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. of peak torque @ 3,600 rpm. The Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B is quickly identified by its exclusive Titanium Silver Metallic exterior color and aerodynamic side ground-effects moldings with chrome trim. The car's road-hugging stance is further accentuated by unique 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels and 215/45 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A summer performance tires that work with the suspension upgrades to deliver improved handling performance.

The exclusive Bilstein Sport Suspension equips the Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B model with performancetuned shock absorbers for flatter cornering response. Subaru also replaced the MacPherson strut front suspension with an inverted strut configuration similar to that in the rally-bred WRX STI, including aluminum-alloy lower control arms. The multi-link rear suspension gains aluminum-alloy rear arms and upper links in place of cast-iron pieces to reduce unsprung weight (and thereby enhance handling response). A 4- wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is standard on all Legacy models. The 2.5 GT Limited and 2.5 GT spec.B models employ larger brake rotors than other Legacy models, with ventilated rear discs in place of solid discs.


Exclusive spec. B Interior

Striking Brick Red leather trimmed upholstery highlights the unique interior styling of the Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B. The distinctive interior is further differentiated from the 2.5 GT Limited model by aluminum-alloy pedal covers, a 3-spoke MOMO leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls, "spec.B" floor mats and an individually numbered limited-edition plaque.

The Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B further builds on the generous standard equipment of the 2.5 GT Limited Sedan, adding the new Subaru Navigation System and an upgraded audio system with MP3 capability. Standard features shared with the 2.5 GT Limited include a dual-zone automatic climate control system, performance-design front seats, a power moonroof, an 8-way power driver's seat and a 4-way power passenger seat (both with 4-stage heating) and heated exterior mirrors. All Legacy models for 2006 feature the Subaru Advanced Frontal Air Bag System, front seat side impact air bags, active front seat head restraints and side curtain air bags.


Subaru Shares SEMA Spotlight With Tuners

Long a favorite of the street tuner market, Subaru recognizes the contribution that aftermarket parts suppliers and tuners make to this segment. At the 2005 SEMA Show, Subaru of America is highlighting a number of specialty models, which all serve as inspiration to owners for racing, customizing and performance tuning.

Easy Street Motorsports (ESX) will display three specially modified Subaru vehicles, including a lightly customized B9 Tribeca and two WRX STI drag race cars. Performance Import Trends (PIT) will showcase a 2006 Forester 2.5 XT Limited model that was inspired by the Forester STI model that is available in Japan. Subaru will also display the customized Legacy 2.5 GT Limited Sedan that's being raffled off by Road & Track magazine's Speed title and Roadgear as part of the "Ultimate Performance Giveaway" sweepstakes.
