Com­pli­ance for the 2002+ ST246W (Gen 3) Cal­d­ina Sports wagon has just become avail­able in Aus­tralia, a few short months after the sec­ond gen­er­a­tion became avail­able in August this year. The ST246W runs the same 3S-​​GTE 2.0L 4 cylin­der DOHC turbo and 4WD plat­form as the pre­vi­ous generation.

Pres­tige Motor­sports prices for the Cal­d­ina start at AU$20,000 for a 02/​03 model with ~60,000kms. The 2006/​2007 will set you back around $30,000. Con­sid­er­able value for money for this great turbo fam­ily wagon.

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.
