It's kind of funny I think that you can buy a used car (i.e. a certified used car) that has more manufacturer warranty than a new car.
Not funny at all. You can buy a new car with the same extended warranty. For a certified used car the selling dealer is paying for the extended warranty and including it in the cost of the car. No different than any other added accessory.

Yep, and instead of making the warranty optional, so you can see what you are paying for it and decide if you think it is worth the cost, they call it "certified" so that buyers think it is magically better than some other used car they could buy and add a warranty to, if they chose to.

A couple of years ago I was test driving a "certified" car in January and as I and the salesman were driving I decided to turn on the heater fan as the engine had warmed and guess what? The fan didn't work at all. I wasn't too impressed with their certification inspection.

Any car, new or used, has the estimated cost of the warranty factored into the price. The company has to decide if a long warranty will attract more customers, than the added cost of the longer warranty will deter. Companies who determine they have lost buyers, because of reliability issues in the past, are usually the ones who will benefit more from extending the warranty.

Amazing...
A brand-new 2010 Legacy is about to be released: First Drive, and not a single word or opinion about it here?

You must have missed the lively discussion about this new model a couple of months ago. A lot of strong opinions expressed and a lot of pictures posted.

Nah, I remember it, it's just that now we're starting to get driving impressions. Plus, all this warranty talk is nauseating...

Agreed. I stated then and will reemphasize that I don't care for the bodywork on the new Legacy even though the interior, size, drivetrain and tech have improved a lot IMHO.

It's ugly, and it's not clear that the US market will get the improved technology, suspension, and/or drivetrain. I'm waiting for a full road test of a US-spec car before I have anything further to say.
