Internationally

Gen 1 - BC/BF: Turbo Sedan and Wagon both called RS Turbo
Gen 2 – BD/BG: Standard Turbo Sedan called RS, Standard Turbo Wagon called GT. Special editions with Bilstein suspension were RSB and GT-B respectively
Gen 3 – BE/BH: Turbo Sedan was B4 RSK, Turbo Wagon was GT or GT-B Touring Wagon. N/A sedan was B4 and wagon was know as the Touring Wagon. (Subaru introduced the "B4" label to identify ALL sedans from the touring wagon)

Gen 5 – BM/BR: Turbo Sedan was a B4 2.5GT and the wagon 2.5GT Touring Wagon. N/A sedan is still known as the B4 and wagon is the Touring Wagon with the engine spec included in the name. ie: B4 2.5R or 3.6R Spec B Touring Wagon.

Which model Liberty's are STI's?

I believe the Subaru Legacy S401 and S402 are the only actual STI Legacy available. The Gen 4 Liberty/Legacy was available in a "tuned by STI" but not essentially a true STI like their WRX STI counterpart.

What is a TT?

Twin Turbo

Is there any difference between Legacy and Liberty?

Subaru Legacy (world wide) = Subaru Liberty (Australia). Same car different name. Different domestic markets have slight variations, ie: JDM, AUDM and USDM have subtle differences tailored to their markets. Body and interior parts are interchangeable with the same generation variants but there are "face lifted revisions" which have minor exterior differences ie: bumpers, lights and grills etc

Great explaination Aek.

Internationally the Gen 4 Legacy B4 is the turbo variant sedan and GT for the wagon. The gen 2 turbo variant sedan was the RS or RSB and the GT or GT-B for the wagon, gen 3 turbo variant sedan is RSK and GT or GT-B for wagon. In Australia the Gen 3 turbo sedan was the B4 with no wagon version offered and all gen 4 turbos (wagon and sedan) are called GT.

Just FYI, the 'B' in GT-B and RSB = Bilstein. Representing the suspension

unbelievable explanation!  Thanks alot guys!

So the only B4 is a Gen 3 sedan?

Any personal choices over the Liberty and Legacy aesthetics?

Legacy have slightly different grilles, taillight/garnish setups (Legacys are darker), rear foglights work, seats (B4 RSK), headlights (Gen2 GT/GT-B/Rs/RSB), etc.

They are all the things that Aussie Liberty drivers put on their Liberty's to make them slightly different so I guess you could say they are 'better'. But obviously if you want to keep a Legacy genuine, parts are harder to come by ..well the cars themselves are hard to come by full stop as they have been imported...

Great info guys.

Then Is the front bar/grill on your legacy stock Aek?

Oh ok, thanks

Thats very tempting, might have to start saving! My GX front bar, still tidy, just doesnt quite do it for me.

Love what you did with the mesh!

Thats not too bad actually.
It does look quite neat, not sure whether to spend too much money on my current liberty, or wait till im off my P's, and can hop into something turbo
