Replying to: robsis (Sep 23, 2008 4:11 pm) The leather is a charcoal color, not black. Looks great. But the dash and door trim also look very upscale. Love the swinging needles when you start the car and the dash lighting is great as well. I've never been this enamored with a car. I literally dragged myself out of the house tonight at 10:20 pm to go to the drug store and buy vitamins. I think we know I wasn't in desperate need of vitamins tonight. But a few more enjoyable minutes in the car were worth the trip.

Replying to: altimate (Sep 23, 2008 7:11 pm)  We're still breaking ours in so I 'had' to take a little drive today across town for some business...and, of course, I took the new car! I agree that the interior of this car is sweet. Ours has the ivory leather with the charcoal carpets and it looks quite upscale. I smile when people comment on how expensive the car must have cost us......little do they know what a steal these Legacy's are...  Robert |

Replying to: altimate (Sep 23, 2008 7:11 pm) Congrats. The SE is a major bargain and the aftermarket leather puts it at a level where similar competitor pricing is probably $10 grand higher. |

I know this isn't the future models section but I thought I'd mention what I heard yesterday. Picked up my 09 Legacy SE and talking to the saleman he indicated that someone from the dealership was in Salt Lake City for a meeting and was given a preview of somekind (not sure if it was photos or just info). The main item mentioned to me was that the car will be 2.5 inches wider. Not a surprise really considering that the current Legacy is somewhat narrower than the competition. Salesman mentioned competing with camry, accord, altima. Let's hope that other than an increase in width and hopefully only a modest increase in length they don't emulate the competition. I think it's the competition that should be emulating them.

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 22, 2008 11:38 am) It might be due to me taking the pics on an overcast day with a throwaway camera. The color doesn't look right to me either in the pics. |

Replying to: robsis (Sep 23, 2008 7:55 am) I would have to agree with you that most folks aren't aware of just how nice a car the Legacy is. I live in a town of 125k people, and as far as I can see, I'm the only one with a Legacy made this century. I see plenty of Outbacks, Foresters, and a few Imprezas, but no Legacys to be seen anywhere. Again, congrats on your new car.

Replying to: altimate (Sep 23, 2008 2:55 pm) I have pretty much the same sentiments towards my new Ltd. I actually sit and look at it sometimes, and smile. Yes, I'm wierd lol. |

Hi all, I thought I'd provide a link to several pics of my 2009 Legacy 2.5i SE, which is painted in Seacrest Green Metallic. I've had it for just over six weeks now... what a ride, I must say! Although I'm not terribly enthused about the higher degree of fuel consumption (I upgraded from a 2002 Sentra GXE) and a minor dash rattle that has recently surfaced, the rest of my experience has been sheer bliss thus far. Anyhow, I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this link here... I know I've seen others post links to their pics in the past, so I'm assuming this will be acceptable. These photos were taken with my cellphone camera, so they're not of the highest quality, although I tried to clean them up a bit - hence the inflated file sizes. Link: Pics of my car Cheers!

I know its way too early to get a truly accurate mileage assessment on my SE (250 miles) but I took a small business trip yesterday (130 miles). Trip odometer had about 40 city miles on it at the time giving it a ratio of around 25% city and 75% highway driving. Bottom line is the trip computer registered just a tad less than 27mpg. If those are the numbers at this early stage I'm anticipating some really great numbers down the road. |
