Rexnet had this over there for a few days now, and as I said there, it's a shame we won't get it here.
It would be a very expensive Liberty in Australia that is for sure.
If Subaru cut out the middle man in Australia (inchape) the cost may come down a fair bit.

It still uses GEN4 styling = boring....

Somehow the Tuned by STi Lib looks better then S402. However it would go like stink with the STi Drivetrain. Nice

I like, its nice.






In a wagon please.

Vents on the guards = wannabe M5.

I'd rather have all the go fast sh*t stuck into a truly lightweight Impreza than lumped into the Legacy. Make it 1100kg, give it some of the badAIDS and slap an RA-R badge on its arse. Done.

Im with marv and def not with fatcat on this one, why is it that whenever it comes to doing something really spesh, Subaru (or Sti more importantly) seem to do a half-arsed job, the RA-R is absolutely awesome (stripped out in factory spec, road going club track thingy) but this...meh, special rims, add ons, mild tune ecu, blah blah, cant they just make one really expensive, really powerfull, all out track orientated car, with like 350-380 hp, and super phat brakes, etc like the z-tune.im sure if they brouht it here some would buy it. This is  just sort of mediocre....I mean, for the price you could easily tune a  Gen III B4 to destroy it but hey, its when they come from the factory hot that really makes it cool.
Eg "Tatsumi and his chief stylist wanted to also redesign the front bumper section to give the car an even sportier look, but a price tag of around $600,000 for the special mold that would be required quickly put an end to their dreaming."
Take it back about the brakes..."We don't have to forgive anything about the brakes, though. They are phenomenally powerful, featuring Brembo-built, six-piston, monoblock front calipers and two-piston rear calipers. The S402 might be the first-ever Japanese sedan with a brake package that actually feels overengineered"
