All-New 2010 Legacy/Outback?

You are in the Subaru Legacy & Outback Forum. Your Host is kcram
Stopped by a Subie dealer over the weekend to test drive the 09 Forester and the friendly sales rep causally metioned that a new 2010 Legacy/Outbook may show up in showrooms early summer 09, and among the changes will be windowsils and possibly a 5-speed automatic. He also thought the new Forester might get a 5-speed automatic in a year or two. Wondering if anyone else has heard these, or any other such rumors?

The production car is reportedly very close to the concept. http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=Legacy+concept&oe=UTF-- - - 8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=Gv2jSeKLOpaitgfon9HOBA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=5&ct- - - =title As to transmissions, it will have an all-new CVT; not sure if the 5-speed auto will remain, but my guess is yes. The H6 will be the 3.6L unit from the Tribeca. Don't know if it will put out more power? Bob

Saw pics on Edmunds Inside Line today. Too big. Too much like a coming together of Legacy/Accord/Mazda6 with just a dash of Camry. I'm disappointed. I like Subies, but this one barely looks like one. Add to that the added mass. The current Accord and Camry are almost large cars. The Mazda6 loses it's nimble packaging and now the Legacy. Oh, well. So much for a tidy package that's fun to drive!

I understand it has 4 inches more rear legroom. To me, Subaru made most if not all the right moves here. It will surely appeal to a larger audience, which is what they're looking to do. Bob |

| Really think the new Legacy looks attractive - but I understand that styling is subjective. Objectively, it is bigger - which is good, without being much heavier (+50 lbs is nothing). The larger volume, wider track and longer wheel base will probably help both handling and comfort. Subarus have always been rugged and dependable - but they needn't look "rough" too. New models always look a bit strange (okay - Subarus more than most) but eventually you get used to the new style. This is a more mainstream look - which is fine as long as they keep the inside goodness (awd, boxer engine, low center of gravity, good handling, and dependability) that is the essence of a Subaru. | |

"low center of gravity" and "3 inches higher" describe new 2010 Legacy. Strange times. Krzys PS I wonder if this is the same car the rest of the world will see.

Greetings: I wonder how many of you will buy the 2010 Legacy GT which will available only in MT (manual transmission) and how many of you will wait until the AT shows up. Thank you for your time.
