ehsnils Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 So the headlights will be similar to the headlights of the Forester to some extent. Not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PtPixel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 oh wow. What is going on with the trunk though? Over hang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 oh wow. What is going on with the trunk though? Over hang? Pretty normal wagon style. It's a larger car than the Impreza and it has to show somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Both engines are turbos. While Subaru knows how to build gorgeous concept cars, I won't be holding my breath for the production version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 According to local news here it's going up in Japan next year as "Sports Tourer". Still not sure if the name Legacy will be retained or if it's going to be a completely new naming scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windzilla Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Both engines are turbos. While Subaru knows how to build gorgeous concept cars, I won't be holding my breath for the production version. Its a prototype I here (from the 2015 rumors thread on page 97. It is listed differently than a concept. That could mean anything but hopefully it means closer to reality than a Concept. I still won't hold my breath. But I want that wagon, I want it now Semper ubi sub ubi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpete77 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 the lighting in those photos is terrible. I can hardly make out the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Surprised they went with hood scoop. Figured they'd be going the XT direction. Also the XT with CVT has been getting rather positive reviews. So long as they offer a manual too I think everyone should be happy. Should it make its way here anyway.

ehsnils Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Surprised they went with hood scoop. Figured they'd be going the XT direction. Can still happen - it's a prototype. But a scoop is more image than need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 reading on nasioc (http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/05/subaru-refreshes-jdm-legacy-gets-new.html), the 2.0 DIT makes 296hp at 5600rpm & 295lb tq from 2000 - 4800 rpm. And its the same engine as the BRZ (whose ecu has already been cracked) with Subaru's injection tech plus turbo. If this came to the states with a MT, I might have to trade in the wagon. I like the Audi front end treatment. Though the tail looks like it could use work, however, its better than years past where it looked like a bloated whale (3rd gen?)

RyanGT Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 One more silhouette from a grab... Gives all you 4th gen. guys something to hate on.... No hate here. - Headlights are shaped more horizontally biased much like the 4th Gen unlike the pulled back vertically 5th Gen. - I see some sporty fender flares in the rear panel unlike the frumpy fender BULGES of the 5th Gen. I love it so far. Absolutely love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkinmonk Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If it comes to the states I may have to trade in my 08 obxt but only if the specs are better and manual transmission. The newest outback has no turbo manual....I'll say I hated the styling when it first came out but it's now growing on me but I still won't trade my 08 for one.
