Just read an article in the local paper: http://www.jconline.com/article/20090530/BUSINESS/905300329 I'll be car shopping in a year or so, and am hoping Subaru decides to be nice and bring the Legacy Wagon as a 2011 model with a diesel engine.

I thought they were par at best compared to the outgoing model. radar cruise control You just know we won't get that. revamped McIntosh audio unit Or that, too pricey. Still a very encouraging sign.

Replying to: jmess (Jun 09, 2009 5:40 am) Again... not the same car we're getting. Here in the States the Legacy 2.5 GT will only come with a 6-speed manual, and will not have SI-Drive. Our car is also a little wider. I'm sure there are many other differences too. Bob Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 17, 2009 7:08 am)

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 09, 2009 5:59 am) FWIW, the extra width usually amounts to bigger fender flares or side mirrors. No metal body parts or chassis changes make up that extra width.
