    What's funny is I don't like gambling much. And I find a lot of it sorta cheesy. So I'll be a fish out of water, totally.

    Any how, it could have been in Siberia (*), I would have gone just to drive the cars.

    * which is where my Godson is from, my friends that are adopting finally got a reference!

    And don't forget when you are in Indiana to visit Casino Aztar in Evansville and gamble excessive amounts, er I mean enjoy the hospitaltiy.

    Actually it has created much revenue for the city and now the casino owner and a local theater owner are bringing an IMAX theater. Cool.

    Nice review of the Legacy. Now I can't wait for it to get here and try it myself.

    If that article is right about the 7 passenger, we should see it at the NY show.

    There’s a switch that powers the rear seatbacks up or down from the back

    Huh? I never saw that. I even asked about it, they said no.

    Interestingly, they identify the competitors as Acura and Volvo. Acura doesn't even have AWD yet, though the TSX is the same size.

    They make some mistakes - they say the GT adds projector beam headlights, but those are on the base model as well.

    That wheel well sure looks like it would fit a full size spare.

    "There’s a switch that powers the rear seatbacks up or down from the back, for those moments when you’ve got a kid in one hand and three grocery bags in the cart."

    They're in Nevada, so they must be testing a USDM model, right? *Crosses fingers*

    Juice, you're too quick on the draw for me.
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    when juice and I are in Las Vegas. The ones we've seen to date were early pre-production models, so maybe they made some updates...

    Hmmm. I read that report, but it was very light on actual driving impressions even though it sounded like the reviewer actually got to drive one at Vegas.

    I was excited about the RACE TRACK part, I mean, that's where we're going!

    I bet we drive around some cones, though. I've seen events like these, they're set up like autocrosses.

    juice, Bob:

    I KNOW you guys are going to have a much better write up than that article. We're counting on you guys. :-)

    Interesting to know that the test track is already set up.

  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    I think it's Monday, May 17th, that we'll be driving. That's only about 2-3 weeks before the cars start arriving at dealers.

    Another name just trademarked by Subaru.

    TRIBECA = A neighborhood in lower Manhattan. TRIangleBElowCAnel Street.

    that name sucks. really.

  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    for a small urban car like the R1e.

    Bob
  • robr2robr2 Member Posts: 8,805
    It sounds urban, hip. Would perhaps do well for a convertible.
  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    Too close to the Trabant:-)

      Cheers Pat.
  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    doesn't evoke anything from me. Rebecca? Chewbacca?

    Is close to where their niche market was in the late 70s and 80s.

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Cars might even be in some dealers by May 17th, but we'll at least get to drive it in a closed course. Like all those commercials. ;-)

    Tribeca sounds like a trendy name for a micro-brew, not a car.

    will it be named, fort apache, the bronx?
  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    yeah a Subaru named Chewbacca would have a totally different sort of boxer growl. Still distinctive though. ;)

  • pon1pon1 Member Posts: 196
    That was too funny - yep I'd buy one.

    jp

    hey when are the press officially allowed to report road tests on the 05 legacy/ob?? must be quite soon
  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    trifecta? maybe you have to pick three winners to earn the right to rename that Subaru.

    ~colin
    -can anyone tell I don't like that new name and hope it stays just a trademark? :)
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Trifecta? Only if it's a 3 cylinder.

    Urban Assault Vehicle

    Legacy Outback with run-flat tires, blacked-out alloys that look like steel, suspension designed to handle curbs and potholes, massive black rubber bumpers, four truck air horns, body cladding 3/4 up the door panels, triple air filtration, and only comes in flat black or gun metal gray.

    Don't forget the built-in gun rack, maybe even a pop-out machine gunner. Go for the military niche.

    A customizer at the Atlanta Auto Show had an H2 complete with spikes sticking out from the side and a fairly realistic twin barreled machine gun mounted on the hood (my 15-yo nephews loved it).

    Not sure where you can find the pictures on the net but there is a guy in California who has taken a white '95 Delsol and made it into a Star Wars X wing fighter. There is an R2D2 sticking out of the trunk lid, assorted pipes and wires on the outside, a yolk shaped steering wheel and all kinds of other paint mods that are too numerous to mention.

    Yuck, Continuum? Sounds like slang for "continue 'em".

    Should we stop production or Continuum?

    Halifax is only slightly better.

    "condom" came to mind first, then "con 'em"

    I'll go back to Surveyor. Best by a long shot.

    What about the Subaru Seven? Or does Lotus own that name?

  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    Wasn't that the name of the super beings with incredible powers represented by "Q" in one of the Star Trek series? Maybe Subaru will acquire the services of the actor portraying "Q" for marketing?
  • hypovhypov Member Posts: 3,068
    where no man has gone before...

    -Dave
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,754
    yeah, it was the name of their group. The Q Continuum.

    That's where my handle comes from. Yes, I'm a geek.

    On that same theme, the Subaru Seven mentioned above makes me think of Jerri Ryan in Voyager.

    '11 GMC Sierra 1500; '98 Alfa 156 2.0TS; '08 Maser QP; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '11 Mini Cooper S

  • bigelmbigelm Member Posts: 995
    That should be the name of the SUV...
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Subaru Seven sounds like a group of us, owners.

    I have a table for the Subaru Seven, non-smoking, follow me

  • hypovhypov Member Posts: 3,068
    7 of 9 if that makes nine in their line-up ;-)

  • paisanpaisan Member Posts: 21,181
    Makes me think of BTTF. "Great Scott! Get to the Subaru Continuum before we are stuck in 1985"

  • subewannabesubewannabe Member Posts: 403
    I can see it now.....the Magnificent Seven riding toward the camera, the setting sun in the storm clouds at their backs, dust kicking up from the hooves of the galloping horses....and abruptly the horses part between Yul Brenner's and Charles Bronson's, and Lance Armstrong, with six of his US Postal Service team members aboard, manuevers the Subaru Seven with bikes on top through the horses...Lance turns to his co-pilot and says, "The Pony Express Team looks pretty good this year."

    Narrator: "The Subaru Seven. Official Sponsor of Lance Armstrong and the US Postal Team at Tour de France 2004. Sometimes, Five Just Isn't Enough."

    I should be in marketing. SoA never uses my ideas!

    Mark
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Me likey. They could even have special edition models:

    Subaru Seventh Heaven, with perforated heated leather and massaging seats

    Subaru Magnificent Seven, off road cowboy package complete with gun holsters

    Subaru Lucky Seven, with Navigation system but it only tells you how to get to Vegas

    -juice
  • bigelmbigelm Member Posts: 995
    SOA don't want no wannabe's... ;-)

    That idea sounded more like the Sundown Seven!

    Or...

    How 'bout the Fantastic Seven with HID's and Memory Seats... :-p

    Or... maybe go international... Sete Moma!
