Hi Alex,
Definitely not! Well, not for another year or so anyway

Trouble is, I would have hoped to move on to a MY01/02 wagon in a year or so, but I saw one in the flesh for the first time on Friday and didn't fancy it at all. However, I do like the look (always have) of the new shape Legacy, so was just wondering....

P1 is even less likely now as we have a new arrival due in September....

Thumbs up

congratulations mate, I assume you mean new off-spring

I quite like the legacy saloon, think if I was looking at changing the twin turbo version would be the way forward

If you're prepared to go for an import, the Legacy B4 gives you more room than an impreza, better interior, & 280bhp.

I understand IM have been running some b4's in the UK & are currently trying to get them homologated, so you may see them in official UK dealers soon - don't know how much they will want for them though.

there's also a new 3.0 flat six - it's going in the Outback first & may be auto only

there's a good b4 site run by Jeff Tsai - if you want some more info

Bad news is that the UK won't be getting any Legacy B4s - apparently couldn't get the emissions to an acceptable level without strangling the car - so, if you're set on a twin-turbo, it will need to be an import.
