It does almost seem more like a big 5 door. The Impreza went even further in that direction, though. I like wagons, though.
 
Glad to hear the de-icer was not cut, but how 'bout some folding mirrors?
 
I guess that's the insurance companies' concern. Well, not really, the deductible will have to be paid each time you hit anything.

Towing by rsholland

I also found out that towing is the same as last year (2700/3000 for H4/H6), which is good; not great but good, as I was hoping for an increase to 3500 with the H6 Outback. According to the owner's manual, the Legacy is limited to 1000 pounds, although an SOA rep over at NASIOC has said the Legacy is not rated for towing.
 
Earlier reports had the towing at 2400 across the board, but that was incorrect.

Nice to see improvements, but in this month's C&D Comparo of small luxury crossovers, the Volvo was the lowest and it offered 3300 lbs. Most offer 3500 lbs towing, and Subaru really ought to match that, especially with the H6.

...none have arrived in my area just yet, but there is an event going on next week which supposed to be a reveal (for those who don't follow the industry I suppose) of the '10 Legacy and Outback. I want to go, but finding the time and probably not being able to drive anything means that I'll probably pass.

First Impression by invest

A gold Legacy arrived at a local dealership this week and my initial impressions are as follows:
 
Exterior is clunkier (technical term) than it appears in photos and lacks the design elements of the G37 or even the Mazda 6. Interior is attractive, however the fake wood looks very cheap and plastic. The seats are extremely comfortable ( best in class).
 
That said, I think the overall appearance is better than the model it replaces and i look forward to the test drive. I also believe the car will look better in darker colors.

Wow, the CVT kills the manual by a whopping 4mpg.

DANG! I knew that CVT would be a winner!
How difficult do you think it would be to get one into an 09 or 2010 Forester?
It is enough to make me whine!

but for what? My '03 Forester XS Premi is starting to show its age (troublesome sunroof, coffee stains, a few nicks), but is otherwise fine, so I hope to get a good trade-in allowance. Am pleased to see a CVT, the H-6 (even if Subaru's too mum on its mileage), that the Outback is now almost the size of my Forester, and that the Foresters have grown to near-Tribeca proportions.
 
But then along comes Venza. What's that all about? A Subie wannabe, perhaps, but Toyotas are no slouches, except in turns. Any thoughts on which of these three would be best for this SoCal commuter/sometime mt. driver who's never quite gotten used to the lag in accelleration that's inherent to the H-4?
