Replying to: dino001 (Aug 04, 2008 6:43 am) Let's see what they do here. Will the next Outback be based on the Exiga, perhaps? |

Replying to: dino001 (Aug 04, 2008 6:30 am) Not really. The new Legacy wagon is already here: The new Forester has 2 inches more back seat room than my Outback and an H point for the driver's seat 2 inches higher. I did not buy the Legacy GT wagon instead of my H6 Outback because of the gt's engine lag for heavy traffic city driving. If I needed a new wagon today the Forester would be it.

Replying to: saedave (Aug 04, 2008 7:05 am) Perhaps Legacy wagon intenders want the sportiest possible wagon alternative. We did trade a Legacy wagon for a Forester and prefer it by a wide margin.

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 04, 2008 7:13 am) The sportiest model might be a Forester XT with a dealer-added lowering kit....if that lets Subaru off the CAFE hook. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 04, 2008 7:13 am) That's exactly what I want. A "grown-up" version of my WRX wagon, MUCH more grown-up than new WRX, even one after changes. No silly high suspensions, no body cladding, no "all terrain" tires, keep CG where it is supposed to be, i.e. low.

Replying to: dino001 (Aug 04, 2008 7:32 am) They could sell that many, but I don't see it becoming a regular production model. |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 03, 2008 4:03 pm) Mea Culpa for forgetting your views on VDC and racing, I know you are a performance over poseur guy. There are others however who don't like it - either due to ignorance/arrogance that they are better drivers than the computer could be or the impression in some non-Subies that it does hurt lap time by slowing one down too much or giving the feel of fighting the car. That had been my point. Second here in the USDM market which is about 95%+ on this board, the Wagon was equipped exactly like the Sedan. So what you're saying is neither US wagon or Sedan had VDC in the GT?? I am wondering that given the fact that you do track the wagon and say you wish you had VDC. On a side note, that last comment sounds a little uncharitable to we 5%, and might I add, a little unwelcoming from a Host albeit of a sister forum. I could only make comments on the specs as I had recalled as available to me in Canada - I made the clarification to ensure it wasn't misleading and to allow correction if required. Thanks for the correction, but the attitude wasn't needed. I will have to dig up the brochure where I noticed that. It could be a distinction with Spec B only, which would be my mistake -not sure. The important point was that the VDC and wagon didn't mix and I didn't want the 3.0R.

Replying to: volkov (Aug 04, 2008 10:52 am) That's exactly right. In their infinite wisdom, Subaru still didn't include VDC in GT Ltd. Sedan w/manual even in 2009. They did for Outback XT, already in 2008, IIRC, but for sedan you have to get an auto with GT. Basically, since NA 2.5 (SE and i) versions do get VDC, the mentioned GT version is now the only Subaru not getting VDC (even '09 Impreza gets it across the line, IIRC the press release). Go figure
