and they did not kill choice of wagon or sedan, yet. However it matches SoA policy of limiting the choices. I do not like it.   Krzys Replies to this message: slazenger (Nov 17, 2006 2:24 pm)

Replying to: krzyss (Nov 17, 2006 11:57 am) I don't know about the argument that SOA is limiting choices. They just added four trim levels to Forester line up - CrossSport X-M/T, X-A/T, XT-M/T and XT-A/T. CrossSport XT-A/T comes with VDC and VTD. Mind you, this is a mid-year change.   May be Legacy wagons are really not selling well. Legacy is not marketed well in US at all. I only see ads for Forester , Outbacks and rarely Impreza.

I agree, marketing and bottom line mentality,you rarely experience salesman directing customers towards the much better priced Legacy L Wagons which basically do *everything* the OB does for thousands less,the L Wagon is a screaming Value in the savvy subbieworld if ya want AWD without w/wo Leather and the GT Wagon, although not a bargain is a hell of alot more fun then most so-called lux..we all know that.
#41 of 126 If the Legacy wagon does disappear... by rsholland Nov 18, 2006 (6:32 am)
as is rumored...   I hope they offer an "Outback GT" (in addition to the Outback XT) that will merely be a Legacy GT wagon, but with an Outback grille.   If that happens, I really don't have a problem with the Legacy wagon disappearing. From a marketing standpoint it will be good as the only sedans will then be Legacys. Note that it is also rumored that the Outback sedan will also disappear.   Bob Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 18, 2006 7:13 am) rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 7:36 am) kens (Nov 18, 2006 2:18 pm) rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 3:19 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 6:32 am) I'm sure the OBxt in all it's glory will remain the only turbo OB sitting 8 inches off the ground while the LegacyGTwagon a muscle flexing *ground effects* 5" and looks it. Replies to this message: rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 7:36 am)

Replying to: mystro (Nov 18, 2006 7:13 am) I dunno. I keep hearing rumors about the Legacy wagon disappearing...   Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 6:32 am) I do too. Subaru would lose my potential future business if they axed the LGT wagon. While I like the OB, it's just not my cup of tea. An OB GT that's basically a LGT would be fine.   IMO, keeping the LGT wagon makes more sense than the OB Sedan.   Ken Replies to this message: rsholland (Nov 18, 2006 3:19 pm)

Replying to: kens (Nov 18, 2006 2:18 pm) My sense is that by making all Legacys sedans, and all wagons Outbacks, more clearly focuses the role of each model, and clears up any confusion among car buyers. My guess is that if Subaru offered an Outback GT, it would sell better than a Legacy GT, simply because the Outback name is so closely associated with wagons.   I think that's the direction SOA is moving. Otherwise, why is there no spec.B wagon? It comes sedan-only, unlike in other markets.   It seems like SOA is just falling in line with most other carmakers. There's no Accord or Camry wagon—although there used to be one years back, but not any more. It seems like only the Saab, Volvo, BMW and MB continue to offer sedan and wagons sharing the same names.   Bob
#46 of 126 There is by krzyss Nov 20, 2006 (4:23 am)
VW too. Passat is available as sedan and wagon with AWD to boot.   Krzys   PS And I thought that Subaru would like to be associated with Euro names than its brethren from Japan. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 20, 2006 8:35 am) mystro (Nov 20, 2006 8:57 am) krzyss (Nov 21, 2006 10:14 am)
