2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Spec.B: First Impressions

MONTREAL, Quebec - We were invited by Subaru to drive the new 2007 Legacy, which is adding a new model to its already substantial lineup, the 2.5GT Spec.B. Powered by the same engine as the 2.5GT model, the Spec.B gets an excellent 6-speed manual transmission, a modified version of the one found in the Impreza WRX STI. An automatic is not offered. For 2007, the turbo engine gets a slight decrease in horsepower, from 250 to 243, due to the SAE's new J1349 power calculations.
