Best shape legacy/liberty

[-Blitz3n-]

Even though the newer B4-B5 libertys look fancy and more 'euro' than japstyle previous models i still really like this shape (series 3, B3 ?) car the most. It looks just like our series 2 cars but with a modern flare. They look so nice dumped, nice set of wheels and a bit of a body kit.. hell looks better stock than most cars comming out now. It just a nice clean elegant yet masculine shape. The new libs look great but a bit audi/bmw-ish, not the classic subaru boxy cool shape ehh :roll:

[sepsis]

this debate has been done before, but I'm definitely a series1 *no bodykit* man myself, I think the older shape looks meaner and sportier than the newer (*cough*family*cough*) look ... but thats just my opinion

[el capitan]

I like them but im old school and still prefer the gen 1 series 2 with the slightly different bumper/grill set up

[bigsurlyt]

Bias as hell, but im a big fan of the gen 2, and the 98- 99 model GTB legacy in midnight blue makes me salivate........

[JJ]

I love the shape of the gen 3, the angles are awsome, with a bit of a kit and some eyelids they look mean as.

The best interior i have seen in any subaru has got to be the gen 2 limited bilstien, all leather... the cleanest interior ever!!! (better then my svx!!)

[yods]

yeah im a big fan of the gen3s aswell, but its gotta be a wagon :)

[THAWA]

3rd gen definately.

In order:
3rd
1st
4th
2nd

[rspct]

Yep both those cars are gen2's, First one an early RS (94-95) and second a GT-B, prolly 98.

I loved my gen1 series 1, but i must admit there is nothing meaner looking than the gen2 GT-B/RX front. Plus the rear of the gen2 to current is 2343453945873 times better than gen1's IMO.

It's the reason I bought the car i have at the moment. I mean, gen4's are P.I.M.P but too expensive for little ol me, gen3's have a PHAT rear end but wussy front (such a shame) so gen2 it was :)

[RSKY]

all the shapes are nice
but really guys, it's 2005, current shape is mighty tough, and with some sweet mods it takes the cake hands down

[sepsis]

pretty "family" as opposed to "tough" I reackon compared to the pic in that avatar of you'res RSKY! :P

[RSKY]

thanks, but if you did the same thing to a new shape white liberty, lowered, big dark rims, it'd look pretty tough too

a stock rs is fairly "family" too

[sepsis]

I just cant picture it dude, I think someone needs to dig up a tough looking lowered 2005 lib w\ rims as you describe!

we'll compare them side by side! I just think the series1 square-look is more sporty and potentially tough in appearance

true a stock series1 doesnt look that mean, but meaner than a stock '05 compared! (in all fairness I have only seen pics of dead stock 05's)

[2l_milk]

The Gen 3's look nice with kits but i like the series 1 aswell i've always like the square shape :) I like the latest GT librety the most but it has to be dumped. I guess i am saying there is no best liberty there all good heh!!

[yods]

so what you are saying is you have no preference and that you are just whoring this thread

[2l_milk]

Yods,

If i have to pick to make u happy Series 1 first gen with blue head lights.

It's tough

[Pat]

Gen 3 is fairy! You get a gen 2 and smooth out all the squareness, the main part that makes them look tuff, and you get all the fairy, i'm a grandma with attitude, look of the gen 3.
The white one above with eyelids, dumped, and mags looks good, but i don't know, the whole package just doesn't seem right.
'05 looks good, would look even better with mags and kit, as already pointed out.
And boy does the stock gen 2 look family, just check out mine! :roll:

[Deaks]

Um Pat you've got a Gen1 not a Gen2. As there aint too much squareness in a Gen2 at all.

Personally for me its Gen2, then Gen4, Gen1 and then Gen3 (not a massive fan of the headlights, the rest is cool though)

[DiscostU]

all the shapes are nice
but really guys, it's 2005, current shape is mighty tough, and with some sweet mods it takes the cake hands down

have to agree the current model look tough as but still innocent.

[TassieTT]

Gen 2 with a GT-B or RX front bumper. Plus get rid of the chrome grill and have it colour coded with black mesh

The rear lights on the Gen 2 look like devil horns at night - goes well with the black colour :twisted:

[rony]

<----- Avatar :twisted:

Post up the bigger pic when I get home.

[Mickey]

I am a fan of the GEN 3's they look hot.

Although I agree with Joe, the Gen 4's dumped on some sweet rims, with the STI front lip :twisted:

They are HOT!!

[SC00BS]

I like them but im old school and still prefer the gen 1 series 2 with the slightly different bumper/grill set up

You will have to wait and see what I've done, when I get my car back

[2l_milk]

Great now where all gonna get no sleep cause we want to know what your getting done :)

r u gonna get a sticker no roo's here?
:)

[SC00BS]

Funny you should say that milky, because Snipey and I were thinking about one that said kangaroos suck across the top of the back window. But that would just make the car ghey. And I can still sleep at night

[2l_milk]

hmmmm not good i dont think big TIMe can sleep either he lost it yesterday and went into a gutter. bent the mags and probley abit of damage to the steering setup.

[flash]

i like all models, but its whats under the bonnet and under carriage that counts, it has to piss....

[RSTURBOWAGON]

Well, having the `92 and the `05, their both s@#t hot. Series 3 in an outback, but here`s one for sepsis. Can post more variations.

[-Blitz3n-]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/rsturbowagon/cat1_mainpic.jpg

Well that is fantastic, beautiful looking car. Seriously those 05's S@#$ all over any new bmw/audi in terms of looks IMO. I heard those front grills are aerospace insipred from aircraft because subaru (or one of the company that was subaru before it was "subaru") used to make aircraft. All of the new subarus have a new head design engineer working on them and he used to make the aircraft and now he wants to incorporate that into all the new models aerodynamic... heh mad

[-Blitz3n-]

I like the new ones dont get me wrong, i just like the gen2s for their unique old school character

[RSTURBOWAGON]

Yep, centre of that grille oval is fuselage and chrome bars are wings. But mine`s got a GT mesh grille, no badge.
FYI:
Subaru aka Fuji Heavy Industries have been building centre fuselage and wing sections for Boeing for years and was awarded the contract for that section in the new Boeing 7X7, which will go up against the A380 coming out later this year.

I`ll post up a horrid pic of the MY05 Legacy Blitzen. Has a grille on it like a Kenworth truck :roll:
Check out :
www.subaru.co.jp/blitzen2005/
Click on enter and go to menu :wink:

[greecegun]

My preferences:

1 = 4th gen 8)
2 = 2nd gen (has to be the RX/GT-B front though) :twisted:
3 = 1st gen :lol:
4 = 3rd gen :arrow:

As I think someone said before I think the 4th gen looks better than any CURRENT model BMW/Merc/Audi -not that it would be hard (except the M3 which is just about to be replaced by the uglier new shape anyway)

I absolutely hate Subaru Australia for never importing the GT-B and blocking it as a grey import. :evil: (Anyone got a personal import GT-B sedan for sale :lol: )

[libertyb4]

i think an 2001 B4 is the best looking.....im a little biast cause i own one.... but then again this is what this thread is about.[/img]

[RSTURBOWAGON]

Yep,I agree, all the models in Japan that poop over any dunnydore, fulcoon, maggot,etc.
Subs, Nissans and Yodas have models to die for there. All a big con to prop up local scrap and local jobs.


1= BG(7/95-02)
2= BF(6/89-6/95)
3= BP(02- )
4= BC(88-90)

[Billsy]

Gen 2 for sure :D

[2l_milk]

Is the latest model the 05 called a Gen 4 or 5??

.......

[RSTURBOWAGON]

I`ll take a stab and say MY05 is GEN 4 :? :? :?
In OZ, the current model is the BP9 and in Japan, it`s the BL5. :? :?
Go figure.

[-Blitz3n-]

I think our 06' models are japans 05 models', so its easy to confuse the generations by the years. Just stick to the body shape/design
The aero grill cars are the latest gen so just count back from there B6(?) B5 B4 B3...hell i dunno im confused now. Just go by jap models, aust ones are retarted

[paddo]

B3 is gen 3. ;)

[RSTURBOWAGON]

:? :? Japan has B4 gen3 model and B4 gen4 MY05 update models, but go from BG to BP5 models. A lot easier going by chassis code. B is for Legacy(Liberty) and G is year code. Imprezas start with G , eg: GB,GD,blah, blah.
Liberty`s go from BC to BP and next number is country or area code. :? :? :shock:
ALSO, new impreza was released in July 05, but won`t be here until 2007.
Aftermarkets already selling add-on bits for them.

[SubbyRS]

Liberty`s go from BC to BP and next number is country or area code. :? :? :shock:

not quite......BC = gen1 sedan, BF = gen1 wagon
BC2 = gen1 sedan with 1.8L & 2WD,
BC3 = gen1 sedan with 1.8L & 4WD,
BC4 = gen1 sedan with 2.0L & 2WD,
BC5 = gen1 sedan with 2.0L & 4WD
BF3 = gen1 wagon with 1.8L & 4WD,
BF5 = gen1 wagon with 2.0L & 4WD,
BFA = gen1 wagon with 2.0L, 4WD & air suspension

Gen2 was BD sedan, BG wagon
Gen3 was BE sedan, BH wagon
so I presume Gen 4 is BP sedan, BL wagon (??)

[THAWA]

There was also BJ and BK, but I don't think you guys got those.

BL = sedan, BP = wagon

[-Blitz3n-]

Even thou alot of people say this shape is very 'family car' stock, i have to admitt it looks mean with a kit. It probally the chunkiest, fattest body

urgh, looks like a hyundai accent!!

[RSTURBOWAGON]

Oh well, close, but no cigar!! :oops:
B4- Boxer four cylinder

[-Blitz3n-]

haha yah.. it really does look like a hyundai accent, thats how their stock front bar is shaped almost exactly.
Those black tail lights look mad...

[Pat]

Ummmm, Yeah... i knew mine was a series 1. :oops: Thanks for picking me up on it.
In my fiirst post just substitute series 2 for 1 and 3 for 2. Or mybe i sould keep my stupid opinions to myself. ALL LIBERTIES ARE THE BEST! regardless of shape.

[Pat]

damn! i mean gen 2 for 1 and gen 3 for 2 ...

[sepsis]

I'm still not liking the rounded newer shapes aye, although the '05 wagon is pretty hot, it looks a lot like a toyota caldina wagon to me! :?

that red B4 is nice rony (the chopped version)

*edit*

I stand corrected, thats one nice GT ;)

[RSKY]

that's not a b4, it's an 05 GT

[d_generate]

Ah gotta be the Gen 2, not that I'm biased or anything


Gen 1 - 1355kg--------- Great for its age

Gen 2 - 1340kg--------- Lightest & probably most aerodynamic n gotta be one of the best looking cars for it's age but the later 97 on with the different front bumper even better.

Gen 3 - 1440kg--------- HEAVY but nice

Gen 4 - Probably even fatter n starting to look a bit toady without any kitt

Well that's my 38cents worth..................................

[Mickey]

That blue B4 kit is pretty ugly!!!

[rspct]

Gen 2 - 1340kg--------- Lightest & probably most aerodynamic n gotta be one of the best looking cars for it's age but the later 97 on with the different front bumper even better.


Three points for you :D:lol:

[maximus]

Well I love the Gen 2 What can I say!!

[el capitan]

05 black gt waogon slammed on some deep
dish 19s with a big fug off polished cooler
hanging out the front
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm blaack

[V8eta]

Has anyone with a gen 2 actually put their car on a weighbridge, i would be really interested to see if they are as light as the claimed 1340kg.

does weight really matter? I mean gen1 is just the right weight, its heavy and you get the feeling of a heavy car (but with forced induction :twisted: ), thats why i dont own a WRX. nuff said

btw V8 im thinkin of "EV0ETA" for the legacy next year, 2 g's later :(

[V8eta]

EV0ETA would be cool :) 2g ouch, maybe invest that money on the engine :)

I find the Gen 1 feels really light and chuckable, but i have been driving skylines for the last 6 years, they feel alot heavier than the RS. Very similar steering feel though.

My RS with no spare tyre as it is on the track only weighs 1330kg which isnt that heavy at all.

[MYGT]

i think i still like the current shape with the STI look!

Does the white legacy GT looks like a bmw or audi now ?

[legman]

i thnk the gen 1 wagons are a real clean well balanced shape,from nose to tail.

but then i am biased!!

i did own a gen 2 for about 4 years ,but prefer the look of mine now

[wraithrslib]

i'm not realy sure what the hell mine is ??mines a 93 legacy.. hey deaks is mine a gen 1 series 2??? what ever it is it's the wraith wags to me hehe.

cheers.

[liberty2nv]

Hey guys,
i think the Gen 2 liberty's rock! A white 98 GTB would be might ultimate car! Otherwise the latest model with a bodykit would b the way 2 go!

[Bigtim11]

Nah thatts Ugly.......
i love the shape of the gen 2 with either GTB bumper/Skirts or the RX bumper and skirts.....
but please no spoiler......
on almost every subaru, with the spoiler taken off, makes the car look PHAT!

[so00be]

The best interior i have seen in any subaru has got to be the gen 2 limited bilstien, all leather... the cleanest interior ever!!! (better then my svx!!)

u wouldnt be refering 2 my interior would you??

yeah the gen 2 in the bilstien edition is the go, dumped on the stock bodykit wit nice rims.
a twin turbo convo wouldnt be that bad either!

http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?

i will take some photo's of my interior and post em up.

Nope, Gen 4 is lighter than Gen 3. Least they are here.

[alexxx]

gen2 for sure... best lookin shape! then the gen4.

btw gen4 base model sedan (manual) 1365kgs auto is 20kgs heavier ... gen3 is the heaviest shape.

[RSTURBOWAGON]

Yep, base 2.5 sedan is 1365kg, up to 1525kg for top line 3.0 wagon
