Ever since the Detroit Auto Show, Subaru has been showing off the Legacy Concept wherever it can. It could be that Subaru is proud of the distinctive sedan, or that it’s still waiting to partner with Toyota for a coupe. Either way the production car should be finally revealed soon.
It’s likely we’ll see the new sedan at the New York Auto Show in April. It should carry much of the concept’s styling, just with some production-ready features, like proper side mirrors. It may even keep the 3.6-liter boxer engine borrowed from the Tribeca. Subaru’s bread-n-butter sedan should be on the roads by this summer, with a wagon version to follow shortly.
Curious how the future Legacy will look like? Take a look at the new Legacy concept revealed by Subaru today at the Detroit Auto Show and you shall make a pretty good idea.
The Legacy Concept features an aggressive front fascia and solid yet expressive body.Sharp design lines carve out a substantial mass as they flow from the hood, across the roof to the trunk, while the sharp body lines project a sense of strength. Wedge-shaped Side Rear Vision Cameras are featured and provide a sense of flow from the momentum of the A-pillar lines. A character line runs from just before the A-pillar and sweeps up to the tail just above the tail-lamps.
It is powered by a 3.6-liter six-cylinder Horizontally-Opposed engine (borrowed from Tribeca). The engine is mated to an AWD system.
The car is finished in a special High-luster “Ultimate Silver” paint and comes with LED lamps, vertical fog lamp and angular air intakes.

Subaru launched today the Legacy Premium Leather Limited edition on the Japanese market. This special edition is based on the Legacy sedan (2.0 GT and 2.5i) and Legacy Outback (2.5i and 2.5XT).
The car has a fancy name that pretty tells it all. No big changes going on: special leather seats, a new pillar trim and a black roof trim; chrome door sills, aluminum pedals, SRS side and curtain airbags and a HDD navigation system. But if Subaru is making it, there must be a market for the car.
This special edition will be available only in Japan; it will be limited to 1000 units with pricing starting from 2,735,250 yen (about $28,000 if you really care).
Subaru will unveil the next generation Legacy in June 2009 to mark the model’s 20th anniversary. The latest rendering comes from a Japanese Magazine.
The 2010 Legacy will feature a larger grille, sharper up-slanting headlights, flared fenders and stronger edges all round.
Under the hood Subaru will place the newly developed 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines, that will develop 200 and 300 hp.
If you want a Legacy, but you are not very happy with the current generation, you might wait for a little while and get the next version of the Legacy. And to make an idea, the Japanese magazine CarTop recently revealed a couple screenshots of what the new sedan might look like.
But don’t expect something totally new: the front headlights are slightly different (Mazda?) while the rear remains very similar for what appears to be a good old face lift helping the Legacy through a couple more years in Subaru’s line up.
Subaru will unveil the next generation Legacy in mid-2009, to mark the 20th anniversary of the model. Set for June 2009 launch, the fifth-generation Legacy will take its predecessor’s exterior and add a larger grille, sharper up-slanting headlights, flared fenders and stronger edges all round.
The 2010 Legacy will be powered by newly developed 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated unit is expected to generate 200 horsepower while the 2.5-liter turbo model will produce over 300 hp.

Subaru is discontinuing the Legacy wagon.
The idea is to end product confusion.
The Legacy and Outback have both been sold as sedans and wagons. For 2008, the Legacy will be a sedan. The Outback will be the wagon.
Subaru has concluded that buyers who considered the Outback wagon didn’t consider the Legacy wagon, and that the Outback and Legacy versions of the sedan appear indistinguishable. Figuring out where the Outback Sport fits into all of this exceeds (...)
