the new front end is substantially better, there is also a really good JDM front end...

Odds are the USDM 08 Legacy will have the same affliction as the previous years. Modifying the bumper to fit the trimmed down JDM bumper requires a bit more effort than buying a new front end and bolting it on- the bumper structure is different.

I suspected the same, that when we get a redesign, it will still be "nosey." Guys on LegacyGT.com have has success with both replacing their bumper beam, and also modifiny the existing one to accept the shorter cover.
The shorter front end definitely makes for a better looking car, imo.

R&T did a comparo of 7 awd sedans priced from $33K to $42K and the 06 spec.B came in 2nd overall but first price dependent.
The Spec.B was quickest around the track and quickest in all acceleration times, stageringly quicker than the MS6 (not sure if the Mazda was up to par).

One thing to point out, the Mazdaspped 6 needs a third cog to get to 60, that shift probably cost 3-5 tenths on the 0-60 run.

That Legacy has a JDM Spec B front end.
Here's an interesting deal. I've done a lot of the work on this car myself and it is a VERY well put together car. It belongs to a good friend of mine.
