  1. I think the B9 is hear to stay, there selling just under 2000 units a month which isn't great but its much better than the baja with 500 units. Theres a few problems with the B9 from the low gas milage and acceleration, uncomfortable 7 passanger seating configuration but its got 5 star rating on everything but roll over (4 star), its one of the safest SUV's on the market, and dealers have trouble keeping specifc configurations in stock. Plus in order to make a profit off the car they are going to have to run it for a few years to cover the cost of engineering it. I don't know if you've seen what they have planed for next year but (http://www.subaru.com/07B9Tribeca) but subaru is expanding the options for the B9 which means there happy with how it has sold and want to keep people interested
  2. True but they Turbo Hybrid Produces more Hp and Ft Lbs than the H6, and with the electric motor being able to instantly help the gas motor it will produce more power more quickly untill the turbo is more beenifitial
  3. I was woundering if anyone knew anything about Subaru hybrids, I relize that anyone working on the design can't release anything but has anyone heard anything? I hear there shooting for 2008 because of the Lithium Ion Cells. I'm really excited for they Hybrids because I know that once subaru puts a hybrid engine in one model, ie impreza, forester, legacy, baja (if still produced) that most of the engineering has been done because subaru loves to use a standard motor for almost all trims except for the 3.0 H6, and the old 2.0 H4 Turbo, what I'm really hoping for and waiting on is the B9 to get a Hybrid engine, this will help with the low end torque because of the electric motor being able to put out 13 Hp and 100+ Ft Lbs instantly which will make many happy about the acceleration that was somewhat disapointing, and having a turbo charger and a hybrid will be great for low and high rpm driving because as we all know a turbo doesn't provide boost presure when the engine isn't free, but the electric motor will be ready to go providing instant accelleration! As you can probably tell I'm so excited!!!! Although my 1990 Legacy (Suzzy) won't be happy when I trade her in, and I'll be sad too... if only I had tooooo much money I'd restore her to knew condition so one day my kids could drive her, she is such a good car.
  4. I tried to get the panel off, but it got stuck at the tray/hood release, I did take the screw out that you have to open the tray for but it still didn't work?
  5. Hey, I have a problem with my 1990 subaru Legacy. The engine is really rough below about 3000 RPM's and just shakes Violently. This problem only occurs some of the time though. And when ever I take it to a mechanic where they they can look at the computer, the problem just disapears and they say that the computer purges all the data so that does no good. They said it might be the fuel injectors and other such stuff. Whats up with my car? I've tried BG44k fuel injector cleaner, replacing the air filter. Recently I've replaced some fluids, the oil and oil filter. Its got a new water pump and timing belt. Suzzy Subaru only has 64K miles on her and I'd like to keep her up but this is just odd. The Check engine light only comes on once in a while, but old Suzzy just can't shake of this off. After the car sits over night The problem ushally subsides for a period of time. Anyway thanks for reading this. Hope you can help. ~Nathan
