ENJOY! Yummmm B4... must build one

its the same color as the Cobra R :eek: for some reason, i find this unbelievably amuzing.


of course, those are damn sexy headlights (not to mention the rest of it :D )

THOSE WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS! OMG... those wheels are [butthead voice] the coolest thing i have ever seen [/butthead voice]


(follow the link above and see the close up)

i dunno, they look mighty heavy.

Looks a lot like brushed aluminium, and none of the spokes look particularly thick... I wouldn't imagine they would be that heavy... who knows.. I can't read japanese.

The car itself looks suhweet but that godawful reddish orange does not go with the green interior IMO.

Jakezor

that's one sweet mofo.

Gotta agree with Jakezor that the color scheme is horrible. Other than that, absolutely beautiful car. At the end of the WRX / S4 / 300xi comparison in Car and Driver they said, "we can only wonder what Subaru could do with another $15,000." Come on SOA...let us yanks find out!

What a beautiful car! Yes, yes, yes! Wait a minute, what is that, GREEN on the inside trim? OK, someone monkeyed around in photoshop, or they had a bunch of color-blind Japanese engineers crawling over this b4 development model. Ouch, does that color blow or what? Then again, it is unique, and did anybody else notice that it has the McIntosh stereo in the dash? Hubba freaking hubba. Bring it; we will come!
:devil:

Can anyone say "S4 with a hood scoop". Even my buddy with an S4 thinks it looks like an S4.

But I do think that the body style looks better than the MY03 WRX IMHO.

.

That has the McIntosh stereo system in it too!

If you have not heard it yet take my word for it.....it rocks!!:)

Crystal clear sound! Not your average ghetto deck!

That car is sweet!!! :eek: :eek: :devil:

mmm
wing is sweet..
interior is sweet -less the green
the wheels, well, I'd prefer the old skool b4 wheels.

all in all, sweet ride.
AO

that's a damn nice car. The rear wiper, woohoo!!! :)

the interior doesn't do much for me, but that doesn't matter. I would still take one...

Puuuulllllleeeeeaaaasssseeeee! Bring it the the US!

I could do with the fake rotor looking rims... I wonder if I could get that hacked off... :D

Bah... I love that car. Any day, any way, any how.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh......
sorry just had to clean off my keyboard!! That is a fine piece of machinery!! I could do without the green interior but I think I could learn to love it. How fast are those things anyway?? Probably no chance of seeing one of those here in the US.

well, for us folks in the US, at least we can get that nice momo steering wheel in the wrx! (sigh....:( )

looks more like a Maxima than an S4 to me.... whatever.... it's still amazing.

edit: oh, does anyone have the specs for it????

Those wheels are hideous! Otherwise, awesome car!!! :eek:

Why can't we get the really cool cars here?!?!?!

I kinda like the interior, its soothing to the eyes. Opposite the exterior color.:eek: Which I like BTW.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

I wish they would've put headlights like that on the '02 Impreza.

How much do you think a B4 would cost here in the U.S. if they made it available here?

whats with the green interior in a red car?

I like the old one better

me to, the old one is just so much more edgy and raw.. I plant to build one some day here in the states. Only when I get enough money.
DrewI like the old one better

Either one... every time I look at them... I ... I... well, I touch myself... :o

Mike2000GT

WRX=teenager out to prove himself
STI=twentysomething (at your physical max)
Blitzen=in your prime (mid-thirties), maybe not quite as hi-performance as STI, but more refined.

Now I don't know anything about Blitzen, this is just my first impression from the way they styled the exterior and interior.
Blitzen's got a more mature look, more refined and classy. I like.

Someone give me the lowdown on what Blitzen's all about. I don't see it in any of the rallies, so probably not a rally car?

thank you for that wonderful analogy:rolleyes:

anyhow, the front half definitely looks a lot like the front half of the A/S4, the rear reminds me a little of the 3 series, maybe the old maxima, either way, not a terribly original looking car. did I mention I want one?

I dunno, but I think that color scheme is the result of watching too many Hello Kitty cartoons on Saturday mornings growing up...

I want to have sex with it!

Yeah, I have to say, this is nice, but the older one has a more aggressie look to it.
Someone asked about specs, I've only seen Jeff
Tsai's specs on the standard B4 RSK twin turbo setup,not sure what the folks at porsche design did with the Blitzen.

site)

Oh... and REAR WIPER!

("And I'm spent...")

Is that a hatchback? That would be AWESOME!!! on top of Awesome.

will we get this car? i love it!!!

Love the car. But I question the interior color choice. It's like Christmas all year 'round. You just need one of those pine-scented air freshners.

Has anyone sent an email to SOA about if and when we might get this in the states? ...on my way to the dealer to put down my deposite.

Any body notice that the speedo is in MPH.
The Wheels look nice exept it looks like it has thouse fake disk brakes behind them.

THat looks good.

Insert histerical popularity building comment here:

I have to go to the bathroom now...:(

Damn, how I dred to have that car here...tick..tick...tick...still waiting....

cygnusz - definitely not a hatch, just a sedan, though the GTB is a twin turbo legacy Wagon.
now that I look though, I dunno how the trunk opens w/ the wiper there.

burnout-that's why I prefer the older Blitzen wheels.

*****, screw the interior. I would just custom redo the whole thing to match everything else. Love the car though, but I still love the Impreza more. Hehehe.
