Replying to: lilengineerboy (Jun 10, 2009 9:00 am) Quoted for agreement. I personally don't think Subaru (or Mazda or VW for that matter) has to sell 40K sedans per month to be successful. In fact, I see them filling a niche that includes people that actually ENJOY driving and doesn't consider their car as "just another appliance" like a toaster. Back to the Legacy: The pics that were released a few months ago weren't impressive, but the Edmunds article showed some decent angles. The rear end still looks a little generic, and the headlights still scream Sebring, but I've got more hope that it does look better in person than in photos, something I couldn't say about the concept shown earlier this year. The interior IMO is a HUGE improvement over the current model. I am intrigued by the blue gauges (as well as in the Fusion Sport), and it looks to be more driver-oriented than the current model as well. Of course, I'll wait and see it in person (and take a test-drive) until I can make a verdict, but I've got more hope than I did before on Subaru getting it right... |

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Jun 10, 2009 9:00 am) Actually, that is not too far fetched a scenario...Subaru being more like Toyota.  Uniqueness (ala boxer engine) has its good points, but it cost money--which is in short supply with low sales volumes. |

I got a "special invitation" in the mail today: $750 off any Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln in addition to all other offers. Good on the 2009 and 2010 Fusion and Milan, et. al. Looks like Ford is pulling out all the stops to grab market share while its major competitors are struggling. Unfortunately, the invitation came about two months too late for me, but had it come earlier I might be in a closeout-priced 2009 Fusion or Milan now--I might have been able to snap one up for around $13k with the $750 off.

Replying to: jeff_h (Jun 16, 2009 4:10 pm) my wife originally was looking at a lincoln, so i requested a lincoln brochure. then she decided she wanted to look at fords, so i requested a ford brochure. we ended up buying a ford. we wanted the lincoln, but the dealer played too many games. we decided to buy a ford from a place where we had a better experience.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jun 16, 2009 5:55 pm) we decided to buy a ford from a place where we had a better experience. ...and you essentially got the same thing at a much lower price and less depreciation! Also, I've always found that if a dealer plays games in the sales dept. they likely do the same thing in service. You were wise to run.
