I wonder how much more the 3.6l costs to produce.
 
Subaru provided a detailed description of the difficult assembly procedure in an article for SAE International some time ago. I can't remenber the detail. The other major improvement over the 3.0 liter was a new cylinder head design with better cooling for (I believe) the front cylinder to remove a hot spot: this is what permits operation on 87 octane fuel.
 
The cylinder head should have no extra production cost, but the assembly could be costly.
 
If Legacy gets the JATCO CVT, the 3.6 l would more closely equal the characteristics of the Nissan six with which the CVT was originally designed to work.

The 2010 Legacy will have 2.5, 2.5t and 3.6 engines.
 
The 3.6 will put out somewhere between 300-350hp

What about transmissions? Are they finally killing the 4EAT? Please say they are.

Hmm, I've seen the 2010 Legacy and it's not quite that radical in the front.
 
From what I could gather it's more G37 Sedan-like than that concept promotes.
 
Slightly wider, slightly longer, framed windows.
 
The one I did spy had a Diesel Boxer Badge on the back and a scoop. Not sure if that will be an actual option but that's the real one I saw on the street. Much more evolutionary from the current car than what that "concept" gives the impression of.

Keep in mind this is a concept. The production model will be toned down a tad. Actually, I see some G37 styling cues here, at least with the headlights. A diesel will not be offered here for the 2010 MY.

Could easily have been a 2.5t under the hood with the boxer diesel badge on it.

The car you saw likely was a diesel. I'm sure they're testing them here.

Are these due out in mid-2009?
