EVOthis Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I saw one of these models the other day it looked like a 2nd gen. sedan with a very high ground clearance...Anyways just wondering what the SUS stands for on the rear trunk area?...Was this some sort of special edition? Thank you in advance for you time and knowledge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I think some of them are the prettiest cars that subaru ever made, especially in green or blue. I've only seen them in green. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The SUS is just the Outback Sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towel Rail Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I saw one the other day on the way to work! I think I see Bajas more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 yeah i thought it looked kind of cool.....were there any special features offered with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Always liked the Outback sedans myself. Some day I'm going to find an early, white Outback sedan and put an EJ20H into it. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinsUBARU Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 From my understanding, it was a limited edition for the NE region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Nice shot OB99W, I like the color scheme. (kinda partial though -- it's the same as my OB) here's another that shows the higher OB stance a little better This was the model that Paul Hogan (Croc Dundie) was in some of the commericals for.

idosubaru Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 they are awesome, my favorite subaru since the XT6. they are a 1999 only model...though i think there's a very rare 98 or 2000 (forget which one) branded one as well. i'm essentially turning my Legacy LSi into one, i have a thread about the differences. it's essentially the paint scheme that makes most of the difference, at least in my opinion. higher stance which i don't want in this car. they have a hood scoop, different bumpers and i think most of them have leather interior and the wood grain trim as well. if it was an option, i see a much higher percentage of the SUS with these than other legacys like LS, LSi, and GT's. i have seen one without a hoodscoop, don't know if some were like that or it was a replacement from a wreck. i like maroon like the one pictured above and white, i'll probably go with white for mine just because it's easier to keep clean and i don't clean cars...often.

I think it was just the outback sedan for a while(97?98?). Then badged as SUS, (still an OB sedan though) for 99 and then continued so with the body change in 2000 until 2002? IDK if the "SUS" trim is any different than the regular outback sedans. Kinda reminds me of back when there where "DL" "GL" and "GL-10" XTs(85-86) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Even in the first year it was released? As far as I know. Granted that the East coast/Metropolitan area probably had a higher demand for them. Here in the West/Rural areas Wagons seem to be more appealing and in higher demand.

TomsSVX Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 we have one in the shop right now. 99 with a 2.5 that went to hell... Got an EG33 shoehorned into it and will be just a little while more till it is done. 5mt conversion too:) Should be a fun car Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/520650661.html that one has been listed for a very, very long time. they keep relisting it, can't sell it. which is bizarre since i sold an older 97 GT Sedan in Pburgh a few months ago for more than that.
