Sub­aru have done it again with the new Legacy Tour­ing Wagon, tuned by STi with 260-​​hp/​253 lb-​​ft in the Pro-​​drive 5 speed auto­matic or 280-​​hp/​253 lb-​​ft in the 6 speed man­ual from the 2.0L 4cyl turbo pow­er­plant, the new wagon looks even bet­ter than last years.

What can I say. I’m excited, with looks that should be stan­dard on any wagon (espe­cially in that white), and of course all wheel drive, the Tour­ing comes with these extras. Yum.

  • STI 18″ wheels
  • STI leather key case
  • McIn­tosh audio system
  • HDD nav­i­ga­tion system
  • STI springs and dampers
  • STI strut tower bar
  • Brembo brakes
  • STI sports muffler
  • STI-​​branded sill plates
  • STI-​​programmed ECU

Imported B4’s are all over the streets here, and I can­not wait to see these on road in Aus­tralia, fin­gers crossed soon. The wagon has always reminded me of the Stagea, a turbo motor in a good look­ing wagon pack­age, though the Touring’s sus­pen­sion trim­mings are more than a match for the Stagea.
