2006 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B Preview

With only 500 units available, chances are Subaru won’t have problem selling every copy of the 2006 Legacy GT Spec B, but the anti-establishment Subaru fans in Seattle probably won’t be first in line. The issue of value is paramount with the Spec B given it’s $5,000 premium over the regular Legacy GT, a model that lacks WRX STI-inspired suspension, special colors, and a navigation system among other things. But it’s the same 250-horsepower turbocharged motor that motivates each model. For a starting price of $34,620, the 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B offers a good balance of sport and luxury. Problem is, so does the Infiniti G35X, and you can get that 280-horsepower sedan in one of eight colors.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
