It's actually a JDM spec Legacy saloon, available with 3 types of engines (2.0 4-cam, 2.5 4-cam & 2.0 twin-turbo). Power outputs are roughly 155ps, 175ps & 260ps/280ps respectively (ballpark figures, exact ones are on Subaru Japan's site).
The twin-turbo B4 RSK is the most popular, with either 260ps (auto) or 280ps (man). Car is very smooth to drive & deceptively quick. The RSK has Bilstein suspension as std & a Mcklintosh stereo is available as a factory option.
A lot of ppl thought B4 means twin turbo Legacy, but it isn't the case. B4 is the name for the saloon range of the Legacy series (in Japan, Subaru Legacy means the Legacy estate, Legacy B4 means the saloon). There are 3 B4 models, the B4 RS with 2.0 engine, another B4 with the 2.5 engine (fogotten the name, I think it's RS2.5), & the RSK (the big daddy of them all). The nearest to a B4 that IM imports is the Legacy 2.5 saloon.

I think the middle one of the 3 is a B4 RS Type B, which has the 2.0 litre N.A. engine with the bilstien suspension of the RSK twin turbo.

The middle one I'm referring to has a 2.5 litre engine.

Yeah, but JDM 2.5s get valve timing that really changes the engine!

Anyway, here is a nice B4:
