ok so on the rsliberty forums I was chatting about the production numbers of the turbo legacys, and was given this info from another US guy
1991 - 58 5-speeds and 149 automatics were sold.
1992 - 6 5-speeds and 5 automatics were sold.
1993 - 25 5-speeds and 45 automatics were sold.
1994 - 170 5-speeds and 230 automatics were sold.
so I have heard so many numbers I thought that we could maybe go through and see if this is right, I thing there have GOT to be more 92's than that, but lets see.
so please mark what year your car is and what trans came with the car.
( PS I thougth this was an ok section to put this in, if not please move )
thx.
Nate

These numbers have been posted in the Misc forum.....and debated over.....simply put....they are grossly incorrect.
There is no way an auto manufacturer would produce such incredibly low amounts of a vehicle. The amount of money they would to get to cover R&D costs, new tools & dies would be astronaumical.
For the record (it was me who posted on this board), I just found those numbers off somebody else's site and thought I'd show you guys. Not even sure if they're correct, either.
why hello Nate S chalk up a 91 5mt for me and also theres another guy in my town that has a 94 5mt a real prick wont even talk to me so i'll put his car down also....... when it lets me, keeps showing the stats i'l get it figured out
