Legacy http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2347041&postcount=3482 Outback http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2347042&postcount=3483 I think it's safe to say that US-spec models will be similar—but not identical in terms of package content. Interesting that the cars now get an auto-up driver's window (finally!) and a rear camera comes with NAVI. Also, it looks like the Legacy GT may be 6-speed only? Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Mar 11, 2009 7:11 am) FWIW, I still stand by my long ago assertion that outsourcing the CVT seemed more sensible. If FHI is developing the new unit, it just seems less ill-advised if they have a history.

Replying to: volkov (Mar 11, 2009 8:52 am) If they are using the unit from the mini car, I would worry about trans longevity. Let's see if there is a tow rating for the auto trans models. If the fuel economy increase with CVT/3.6 liter is not significant over 5EAT/3.6l , there is no reason to choose a probably more costly CVT.

Replying to: volkov (Mar 11, 2009 10:13 am) Agreed, but if the CVT is the old Subaru unit designed for a very small engine and vehicle it probably can't be used with the 3.6l. If the power of the 3.6 has been increased with direct injection to 280-300 HP, the limits of the Murano's trans may even be exceeded.

With the cozy relationship with Nissan/Toyota, have any of you heard about a hybrid or diesel for these models? I think they would do very well in the US.
