I hate how they do a review based on just one vehicle... but, i think it stood up well.

I know, but the scientist/engineer in me says the sample space isn't big enough to make an evaluation of the entire population... its like saying that all US Presidents are idiots because W has an IQ slightly higher than a moldy potato. You get a lemon car, or a lemon president... 'one bad apple ruins the bunch'

This is saying that we should all have SpecB legacies and that it is worth it.

amen!!

the car is going to have minor issues here and there... it's a car after all. but relatively speaking, excluding the "fill'er up with diesel" incident, that car seems to have stood up well.

Actually, I would say that the TEIN Flex with a set of tires are a good trade for NOT getting a Spec B. Look at the data:

Total cost for the TEIN Flex w/ EDCF and Kuhmo SPTs: $2724, about $500 less than the $3200 target.

Skidpad: .87g which matched the Spec b which runs on 18" wheels and $200 a pop Bridgestone RE050 Max Performance Summer tires.

It also bested the Spec B in 70-0 breaking by 6 ft.

I'd say a regular LGT and the Flex and SPTs are the way to go.
Hell, throw on a set of 14.6 lb Kosei K1 TS for $199 each and the SPTs for $81 each and keep the stock wheels and tires for winter

they only threw out the nav cost, right?

that still leaves the issue of the tranny. 5 vs 6 speed when comparing the gt vs spec.b. or are they offering the 6-speed with the 07 gt as well?

oh, and the leather/alacantra (sp?) seats.
