Subaru Pick up (Legacy/Outback!!!)

[fildigger]

We no doubt are all aware of the Subaru 'Brat' Pick up, which is held in high regard by many as a great and capable workhorse but who makes these things ?.....

Yes, it's obviously a Legacy but who is custom making the bed?...looks a proper job!

I thought it was an OEM item available to the Australian market.

American market rather than Aussie IIRC.

US market production model

Learn something everyday!...The true successor to the 284 Brat....Nice but i don't suppose we will ever see them over here? (apart from this rare thing!)

Thanks guys.

Never saw many of them in the US either! Most of them are yellow, the second least desirable color for other Subies. Don't know what possessed them... As far as I know they are no longer made.

Loadbed is a bit weeny; not massively useful as a pickup tbh. Neither fish nor fowl.

Sold on Ebay for £5100 i think...not sure if it was worth that or not !!...somebody did though.

I'm pretty sure that was available with the twin turbo also!

They might have used the 2.5 single turbo in later ones, but the US market never got any twin turbos AFAIK. They didn't event get an Impreza STi until something like 2005!

I'm sure that when I had my B4 there was a tt version, and IIRC I saw it on subaru.nz?

There were twin-turbo Legacies from late '93 through to early '03 (mine is an '02), just I'm pretty sure the USA never got them. Japan, NZ and Aussie markets did but I'm not sure who else.
