Besides the outback, they did also have a Legacy wagon that was just a wagon:
 
Yeah I hear those are pretty good...

A reporter would like to speak with drivers whose families have had a lot of automotive brand loyalty. Has it faded over the years? Please send a few sentences on this to predmunds.com no later than Friday, October 16, 2009 if you care to be interviewed on the subject.

Suzuki Kizashi by m6user

The Kizashi drives better than basically everything in its class. Camry, Accord, Altima, Jetta, Malibu, Mazda6, Legacy – you name it.
 
The above was copied from the first drive article by autoblog.com of the new Suzuki midsize car....the Kizashi. Stupid name IMO but seems to have some things going for it. Ony engine is an I4 and auto is a CVT which I'm also not fond of.
 
Maybe this car would be a good candidate to replace the Aura on the rights side of this page.

I would like to go head to head against it with my Sport. I have driven CVT cars for several years now, and they aren't that great for acceleration, great for MPG, but not acceleration. I have driven a LOT of cars over the years, including performance cars, and of all of them I found the Fusion Sport handles the best as a daily driver, and someday would love to take it to a track and put it through its paces, a nice Road America track with curves and turns and straightaways, to really see how it handles, and this is the first car I ever felt that way about. I have driven Vettes, and stangs, and although they handled well, and could move, as a daily driver they aren't that great.
 
Would be very interesting to see how the Suzi is in comparison.

I am waiting to read some more reviews of the Suzuki K. The autoblog reviewer was just gaga over the way it handled due to it's rigidity and suspension quality. He was driving the manual however but I think he mentioned that the CVT ran to 60 in 7.9 sec. which is respectable.

Notice the reviewer did not include the Fusion in the list.

Another review here.
 
This time, it's compared to the TSX and last-gen Legacy.
 
They'd better throw in the V6 before the end of next spring, or it's not going to be on my list. Then again, if they're using the 3.6L GM V6, it may not make it anyway...

Probably just didn't want to name every midsize car for brevity sake. I think the Fusion, Milan, Sonata, Optima, Aura, etc etc would be covered under "you name it".

And among all four-cylinder midsize sedans, only the Accord EX (190 hp), and Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg and Passat (200 hp) beat it in the power department
 
Above from the Edmund review of the Suzuki K. Interesting how Edmunds puts both the Jetta and Passat in the midsize class.
