SLegacy99 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Subaru has officially revealed the new 2010 Legacy Touring Wagon. Like the Legacy sedan and Outback wagon which were already unveiled at the New York Auto Show last month, the new Legacy Touring Wagon features updated styling, more interior room, and Subaru's trademark all-wheel drive system. Power comes from a variety of engines including two 2.5-liter units. The first is a naturally aspirated flat four-cylinder with 170hp (125kW) and 170 lb-ft (230Nm) of torque, the second is a turbocharged version which cranks out 265hp (195kW) and 258 lb-ft (350Nm) of torque. Sitting at the top of range is a flat 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine which produces 256hp (188kW) and 247 lb-ft (335Nm) of torque. Given its rather mundane mission as a family hauler, the new wagon comes equipped with a variety of useful design features including larger rear door opening for improved access and slimmer pillars for better visibility. Key options include radar based cruise control, GPS navigation, keyless entry with push button starting, and automatic windshield wipers. ]http://www.worldcarfans.com/90...japan http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/6854735.jpg http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/4144922.jpg http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/98854.jpg http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/3245657.jpg __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eqt2010 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't know if my next car will be a Subaru since there will be no wagon with turbo. It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobySTi07 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 With that tail you can really see some european influence in the design. Take a little Benz and a dash of BMW, mix them together and you're pretty close.

sdvictor Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Apperantly, they've also decided that in addition to a turbo wagon, SI-Drive won't come to US Legacies/outbacks; but will stay on overseas. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/p22_cupholder.jpg vs US http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/025_legacy_nyc.jpg Looks like japan gets a smartkey and mirror signal indicators too. F**K you subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 it's an ugly piece of sh!t. I'd rather drive a VW passat vs. this crap. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 According to Left Lane News, we'll get these in Canada too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 According to Left Lane News, we'll get these in Canada too. I am sorta skeptical. Unlike before the Legacy wagon requires different sheetmetal than Outback, so making Legacy wagon at SIA will be more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah, will have to wait and see. If my 05 dies I'm not buying another Legacy.. probably go for a Forester XTi or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendozer Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Kind of off topic but why are all car manufacturers going to a "smily face" look on the front. Honestly the new Mazda 3 has a massive smile, this one also. I don't feel the 2010 styling is "sporty" enough compared to the previous years. Stop making these "happy" cars!

sdvictor Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Japanese designers have always considered the front a face, and have to make one that isn't only "happy", but nonoffending. That design ethic is partially driven in the kawaii -factor. It needs to appeal as something cute and happy to the Japanese public. That design ethic also is the reason behind why faces of Japanese designed cars sometimes are incongruous with the rest of the sheetmetal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactojesse Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 IMO, while nowhere near as attractive as a BP, the new Legacy touring wagon is way better looking than the new Outback. Too bad I'll never see one for sale in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Gee, even that is better looking that the '10 Legacy... and I am not a particular fan of the BE/BH platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naimouasta Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 no matter how ugly, its still a subaru and has the basic qualities of what we subaru owners want in a car at a decent price. if it was avaliable, no doubt you guys would buy it. and i doubt canada will get a wagon for 2010?...if they do i'll be pissed as hell. still don't understand why they can't be special ordered especially before, for 08-09. if it was, my current legacy definately would have been a wagon.

Karl The new Acura TL is one of the all time worst smiley faced cars, front and back...uuugh!! The Legacy Wagon looks much better than the plastic armored Outback I saw the Jetta wagon today, a TDI, and I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will either be that or a used Legacy wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Just saw that ROW will get radar based cruise control... yet another option and cool feature that we don't get. Thanks SOA for giving us the short bus Legacy edition for 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viber Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I dont normally like wagons, but that new Legacy wagon actually looks good to me. Especially with the STI bits http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/trev2/1-43.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyh Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I hate this. I love my wagon, I love wagons in general, I like this car, but I hate this situation SOA.

Alicafster Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Feel sorry for you guys in the US... But the industry isn´t just f***ing you for laughs. It´s the normal process being a tiny minority in a country with bad taste, fat asses and love for plasic interior, as long as it´s got a V8 or fit a soccerteam and a ton of K-mart groceries. Of course this is more of a compliment to u guys than a description of your fellow compatriot:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
