Default Subaru Legacy Spec-B to be released in the States?





There's been no official announcement, but the 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B looks like it's headed for showrooms soon. Our latest spy photos of an undisguised preproduction unit reveal all the details. The most obvious upgrade is in the wheel and tire department as the Spec B gets a set of multispoke 18-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance Bridgestone Potenza RE050A rubber. Behind the larger wheels and tires is a set of Bilstein struts for improved ride control. We didn't get any peeks under the hood, but most rumors suggest that engine improvements aren't expected.

More changes were evident on the inside as the Spec B will get eye-catching red interior trim on the seats and door panels along with aluminum pedals and special floor mats. A navigation system looks to be part of the package as well along with what looked like a premium audio system with steering wheel audio controls.

Most speculation suggests that this special-edition Legacy GT will go on sale later this fall in limited numbers.
