Beautiful car ..................I didn't know they had a Legacy version like that.
Don't care much, though, for the all-black dash. IMO it would look a lot better with the dash used in U.S. models.

Actually Subaru's latest chief designer came from Alfa Romeo...which is obvious when you look at the grilles on the B9 Tribeca and the new Impreza.

Yea, Audi & the B4 Blitzen do look alike.
The B4 Blitzen is MSRP at around $33,000........that's $15 grand less than the Audi S4 V8. I would definitely go with B4 Blitzen

Thats 253 ft/lb of torque.... at only 2400rpms.... VERY impressive for a 2.0L.

I'm guessing this car is never going to make it stateside... too bad.
