22b, or a clone of Peters car...
Mine is coming in a few weeks
OK, that was lame but after having only owned two Subaru's before and almost 15 years ago, it is close enough to my dream Subie.
I've been waiting for this purchase for over 20 years of company cars.
ps - I promise to dump the sheep avatar once the new car gets here

Were I rich and famous, and self-indulgent:
1) I'd probably have an FXT/Sti whose body/frame were stretched two foot (more room for second row passengers, or more room for six plus footers to stretch out in the back with rear seats down);
2) raised four inches to offset additional length (read, keep off-road capabilities);
3) extra strong STi anti-sway bars to retain as much on-road handling as was possible; and
4) modified wheel wells that permitted a taller tire/wheel fitment (thinking 235-85-16 LT Michelins).
I suspect it would be a one-off, as it's not likely anybody else but me thinks this would be ideal!

I have been looking at the 3Ltr 245BHP/290 torque legacy. just got to start saving
A "optional" Forester that being considered a "small SUV" actually has some off road capability. This means GIVE THE POOR THING SOME CLEARANCE! and also mabey a Hybrid type engine so that it would get say 25/34+ MPG city/Highway. I LOVE the Forester bad part is sometimes going slightly off raod...its not the traction but the KRAP clearance that bugs me. I'm not talking mud bogging type clerance but enough that when I hit a run I don't bottom out and worry about breaking something off. Id like to see a Forester/OR(for Off Road) with some under cladding(skid plates), a light rack on top some optional rally type lights in front, a usable bullbar/winch housing up front. and a few inches more clearance for some TRUE Off Road type tires(would come standard with BFG TA's). I don't need something to rock crawl in or and mud bogging that Forester just does NOT have enough clearance!
forgot any B4 legacy and the last year SVX
That isn't asking a lot, now is it? The ground clearance issue would be made worse with adding hybrid motors...C Bennett said:
<searches for pics of Subed> Here's a Forester with skid plates, an optional type rally lights in front, a rear diff guard, AND the capability to run around (lost) in the AZ desert among the cacti and the washboard roads.
We COULD find a nice little lift kit (2-3 inch) for it, and that might help with clearance...

Yeah but I want it from the factory
so I get a full warranty and I dont take it in and get told that since I added 2-4 inches lift the warranty is void . and yeah your right about the hybrid system....I just think that I guess the car should get in the high 20's low 30's highway and still in the low to mid 20's highway..but my MPG is not as good as id like I guess is all i was saying . But a Forester from the factory with 2-4" more clerance and mabey some room for a smaller set of true A/T tires would be nice...and as you said the pasrt are already there to do it.
Probally my forester with a few off road accessories
SubaXtreme Skid Plate (sump guard) 300.00
Hella 500 driving lights 75.00
Stromung catback exhaust 550.00
Rallitek flaps 80.00
Rally innovations light bar 250.00
Injen CAI (98-99 RS) 250.00
New rubber (Tires that is) 300-400.00
Performance gauge cluster w/gauge housing 150.00/50.00
Having a car that screams "DRIVE ME"... priceless
