Yea, they didn't have any limiteds left when I bought mine....I at least got one of the limted colors though (urban gray metallic), great color on these cars IMO.

Still being pretty young and such (22), I can deal with the big wing and the attention of it, but in the future I may do a trunk swap for the little wing....I go back and worth. It is funny in that I can't open my trunk all the way with the skis on the rack b/c the wing will hit it....

I have nothing against Subbies, but a STI is NOT the car I'm looking for at this stage in my life

I figured as such, just throwing out an option. My father doesn't even like to be seen in mine haha, he's a more classic sports car guy.

The whole point of having the TDI isn't to get "lots more power", it's to get lots more MPG... ;)

The Euro TDI's actually have a lot of power. Last time i was in Germany (2001) we rented a Golf wagon with TDI and 6 speed. I had no trouble keeping up with the beemers and benz's and was cruising easily at 110 - 120 mph.

I didn't mean to say they're dogs, that's just not my motivation for wanting one. If I wanted tons of power I'd be looking for something else...

Yup that's a nice color. I've always liked the blue as well amybe because that's the car they race. I tried getting #007 in that limited but someone beat me to the order bank. Ended up with 111.

Nice, that's badass you have a limited, maybe see you around. I'll be on the lookout, actually haven't seen a limited in real life driving.

No, no, no---I run a Nissan-Subaru dealership so that's the car I ordered!!!! A buddy of mine did end up with the car so I do see it quite often. Sorry for any confusion. If I had to buy a car it would by an Outback Ltd......like some others the STI (albeit a kick ass car) wouldn't meet my needs. You've got a cool car, enjoy!:daffy:

Whats with the rear wiper on the 05+ outback? I need to replace mine, but I can't find one in the local auto parts store. It seems they use some kind of new or proprietary attachment. The dealer is kind of a pain to get to and it sucks I'm going to have to waste an hour to go get a wiper blade. God knows what is going to cost from them too.
