June 19th - JDM GDB-H will be released in Japan

jmillward · 05-29-2006, 05:45 PM

It is official - the last of the GDB will be released in Japan on June 19th and will be the GDB-H - better know as the 2007 model for the States. It will be a minor model change - the dealer did not have any details available for me as of yet but said they may be changing the front end somewhat again. Guess we will find out on the 19th! 2008 will be the full model change.

I thought they were leaving the 07 model in the states the same. I.E. STi Limited.

I was also under the same impression. Well who knows maybe they have something hidden up there sleeve. Thanks for keeping us informed on what is going on over there JMillward!!

If reverting to the 04/05 front end is a minor change...then I'll take that!

Clark_Kent · 05-30-2006, 08:35 AM

Very nice, thanks for the update

. I plan on piloting an 07 just waiting for availability and pricing. Change is good!

Thanks for the info, I plan on getting a 2007 aswell so I'm worried/excited about this "new front end" if they decided to change it. I admit I think the front end on the 06 needs a more aggressive look to it IMO.

STiJunki · 05-30-2006, 01:18 PM

I'm also planning on an 07 in a few months.... I hope they change those motor mounts! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

SubaruFlamingo · 05-30-2006, 06:47 PM

Please no change until 08 (or 09)

I'd be shocked (shocked!) if the front end was changed. The '07 STi Limited has already been introduced and it looks (to my eye anyway) just like the '06.

Chris05STi · 05-31-2006, 04:53 AM

Hmm I wonder what they have planned?

denver133 · 05-31-2006, 05:19 AM

Changes are the small ones between each year. the 07 will look just like the 06.

KiR DieseL · 05-31-2006, 05:37 AM

I doubt theyll change the front end again.... AH finally the moment of truth.. if changes arent worth paying the extra cash for i will be buying a late model 06.. so that i can save some cash... dealers are probably gonna wanna move those 06s out for the 07s
