Why so many 92s?

Post by Splinter »

Its been bugging me for a while. Nearly every post-lift turbo I see is a 92. In the 'wild' Ive only seen 1 93, and 1 wrecked 94, but Ive seen at least a dozen 92s or more. Also a large number of people on the board have 92s...

Mine may be registered as a 93, but it has so many new parts that the weighted average comes out as at least 6 years younger :)

sorry for sounding retarded, but how do you tell a 92 from a 93 or 94?

Umm, I don't know if the 93's or 94's come with chrome door handles. At least, in the L models.

My 93' L had chrome handles. The pin stripping is a little different on the 92's and the the of course the Legacy badge on the rear quater panel.

Your 92 is a SS. Note I said L models.

Wasn't that just before or just after the body style change? Car companies usually sell a lot of the first couple years of a new body style, than it starts to be old news again.
