godwhomismike Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 New Legacy to be unveiled today at Paris Autoshow Edit (10/1/06) Link: http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/.ee948f7 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee948f7/cmd.233/embedded..ee94925 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee948f7/cmd.233/embedded..ee9491f http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee948f7/cmd.233/embedded..ee94919 http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee948f7/cmd.233/embedded..ee9492b Subaru has put together a modest refresh for the Subaru Legacy and Outback sedans and wagons. European buyers will enjoy the benefits starting next month, while we'll see something like it starting with the 2008 model year. On the surface, it's all about brightwork. The Legacy has a new grille with a large ribbon of chrome and on wagons, a revised set of tailights are linked horizontally across the hatch by another strip of it. On the Legacy sedan we looked at, there was even chrome trim on the side skirts -- this was a European-market Legacy, we're guessing it will turn up on our 2.5 GT as well. The Outback also gets a new, multiple-slat grille, but it isn't quite as dramatic. Automatic-equipped Legacys and Outbacks (likely only the GTs and XTs, we suspect) will get steering wheel-mounted paddles shifters and downshift rev-matching. The center stacks inside the cars also look a little different -- there's more metallic trim on the stereo and climate knobs and buttons, but they don't necessarily look easier to use. Finally, there are a few chassis changes. The front suspension mounts are stiffer than before, and engineers reinforced various parts of he body from the A-pillar forward. On the Outback, the front suspension geometry has also been tweaked. Net result is a smoother, better controlled ride, according to Minori Yuki, manager of Subaru's Total Vehicle Performance Integration department.

SWP-LegacyGT Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'll spare the slowness. Looks like the 3.0R Spec B sedan and wagon to be shown, along with the Legacy 2.0. As far as I can tell this is for Japan and Europe only. The Tribeca update/refresh is on that site and it actually looks a bit better (IE think grill looks better) That's about it. Other than that, I would not be suprised if we would have to wait until the 2007 NYC Autoshow early in Jan to see 2008 USDM Legacy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Is that an OEM metal dead pedal I see? Me wants. '07 USDM spec.B's have it as well. Maybe your Subaru dealer might have a part number, I'm not sure. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_templer_102 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I wonder when the next "will the new steering wheel fit on 05/06" thread will be made. Those little features look useful and fun. Cept those paddles....manuel FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
