#21103 of 21530 Re: Much more here on Legacy concept [xwesx] by wmarton64 Jan 12, 2009 (11:48 am)
Replying to: xwesx (Jan 12, 2009 11:40 am) "I look forward to seeing more. I hope a wagon is revealed before too long. The look of that Legacy, in direct translation, would not work well on an Outback."   I agree. The last generation Outback was pretty much a slightly stylized, raised Legacy wagon, which ironically, was pretty close to what the original mid/late 1990s Outback was, i.e., a Legacy wagon with cladding and an outdoorsy image courtesy of Paul Hogan. The early 2000s Outback were a bit more unique. It will be interesting to see what the 2010 Outback looks like.   wilbur Replies to this message: lucien2 (Jan 13, 2009 5:34 am) wmarton64 (Jan 13, 2009 1:04 pm) volkov (Jan 13, 2009 5:15 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: wmarton64 (Jan 12, 2009 11:48 am) actually, the Outback didn't get cladding until 2000 and the departure of Paul Hogan. Outback hasn't ever been anything more than a straight up Legacy wagon with a raised suspension and 2 tone paint. And body cladding from 2000-2004   (yes, there is a leetle cladding from 2004 I know, but it's just along the rocker panel, not the half-the-door treatment from before) Replies to this message: wmarton64 (Jan 13, 2009 1:04 pm) volkov (Jan 13, 2009 5:15 pm) ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:01 am) and 1 more...
#21105 of 21530 Might it be a 5-door? by rsholland Jan 13, 2009 (7:29 am)
This is interesting: I noticed that the wiper stalk has a "rear wiper" control. Might this be a 5-door hatch model, with the rear wiper tucked down under the rear deck lip and out of sight?   Bob Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 13, 2009 8:33 am)

Replying to: rsholland (Jan 13, 2009 7:29 am) Bob sent me the pics, and I saw the switch he's talking about, which is weird...   The back window has a slight gap, but I don't think it's big enough for a wiper to tuck away.   Maybe it's for the wagon and they just forgot to take that out? Or it's JDM?   I don't think the concept has a rear wiper.

Replying to: lucien2 (Jan 13, 2009 5:34 am) Yes, other than the cosmetics, the Legacy and OB are the same vehicle; however, Subaru didn't market the two vehicles this way. The OB is supposed to be the outdoorsy, crossover vehicle. So much so that the "Legacy" name was dropped in 2000 and the (over) cladding appeared along with the two-tone paint. To further distinguish between the two vehicles, Subaru completely dropped the wagon from the lineup in 2008. Assuming that Subaru continues with the OB line (they would be stupid not to), how does this Legacy sedan concept translate? I don't know. The "evolved" Legacy is much more Impreza-like than outdoorsy. If Subaru moves away from the cross-over image for the OB, it might as well release a sporty Legacy wagon. But the fact is that the OB sold MUCH better than the Legacy wagon here in the U.S. Subaru has alot riding on the OB redesign.   wilbur Replies to this message: volkov (Jan 13, 2009 5:15 pm) ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:01 am) lucien2 (Jan 16, 2009 3:46 am)

Replying to: rsholland (Jan 11, 2009 6:39 am) Looks like a little Audi influence in the grill area. And maybe a wee bit from the Chrysler 500 (or was it the 300.. )   MNSteve (Brrrr!)

Replying to: wmarton64 (Jan 13, 2009 1:04 pm) there is the issue of 2.5 inches more ground clearance for the Outback. Given recent weather, that's not just cosmetic. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:01 am) lucien2 (Jan 16, 2009 3:46 am)

Replying to: volkov (Jan 13, 2009 5:15 pm) The seats are also mounted higher.   I once measured. The Outback's seats, even at the lowest position, were a full 4" higher off the ground than in our Legacy.   So the seats are raised up 1.5" taller as well.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:01 am) oh that's right, because the roof is blistered. I forgot about that. Even on our '99 it is. Although we swapped in 2.5RS seats....but the extra height is in the drill holes, not in the seats themselves.
#21112 of 21530 Legacy wagon? by rsholland Jan 16, 2009 (6:47 am)
It appears to be the production version of the Legacy wagon. The car appears to be considerably longer than the current Legacy/Outback wagon. Now if only we could get a larger image...   http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25194956&postcount=1172   Bob Replies to this message: dino001 (Jan 16, 2009 8:34 am) rsholland (Jan 16, 2009 9:28 am)
