Well I went to another dealer today and did another test drive. This time they actually let me drive the car alone. Interestingly, I did not have the issue of the hand brake pushing on my leg. I spent some time adjusting the seat and while its still a bit snug I was fine with it. It looks like this is going to be the car for me.
 
I found the second dealer much more easy going and didn't feel I was being hustled.
When I asked him about what adding leather, Sat.radio and 15000 mi would do to the lease price he gave me a detailed discussion of the cost of these items and the residuals effect on them. Bottom line what the other dealer wanted $100/mo more for, he wanted $50/mo for. I called the other dealer back and he wouldn't budge even though the salesman admitted there might be something to my claim that you can't charge me the full price of an option when the car has an 80% residual (unbelievable that number). I think I'm going with the second dealer especially since he indicated that a free loaner would be given with all service calls.
 
Will need to wait a bit for the color choice to come in but I'm totally happy with this choice. It's kind of a relief to finally have closure on this as I've been looking for what seems an endless amount of time.
 
This is a conservatively styled but attractive car with a high quality interior and a ton of options for a price in the low 20's. The idea of spending 10k more for a so-called entry level luxury car is waste of money in my opinion.

I've unfortunately gained about 30lb in the last year and now am 6'0" 250
 
I'm 5'10, 300lb, while not as comfy as my Armada my LGT is not bad to drive for 2 or 3 hrs. I wouldn't drive cross country in it, but I can adjust it well enough for me. If you can wait til the spring, the 2010 model will be here and it's supposed to be significantly larger.

Mike:
 
Hopefully by next spring I'll get rid of those 30 extra pounds. Easier said than done, of course. Regardless, I'm set on the 09 Legacy.

Well at least you are probably getting the most refined version of the 4th generation of Legacy. Last build year usually is best IMO.

Mike, if you lost about a 100 pounds, your track lap times would drop—and your lifespan will increase. 300 pounds at your height is not good. Any doctor will tell you that.
 
I'm 5'9" and 200 pounds and my doctor is constantly telling me to lose another 30 pounds.
 
It may not seem important now, but it will when you get to my age—assuming you do get to my age.

Sweet, congrats! Looks great!
 
I love those rims. Among the very best on the market, at any price.
 
I'd prefer that the leather were perforated, but it's still very nice.
 
Love the dual exhaust, too.
 
I bet a small GPS could fit under that door at the top of the dash.
 
Kudos.

The 3 of us should have a bet - who can lose the most (as a % of their current weight) by Xmas.
 
I hit 217 # while in Brazil, eating like a pig. I was 185 in high school.

I was 148 in high school, and 160 when I did the Maryland Marathon back in 1981 at age 36. So clearly 200 pounds is not good for me—even though I hit the gym almost daily.
 
X-Mas—you're on! And afterwards we can pig out like there was no tomorrow!
