  1. There's no confusion about the vehicle, it's an 07 Outback Ltd. I just don't understand why the inconsistencies in registration since everything the same (dealer, model, salesman). I have enjoyed this car so much I replaced our second car with an 08 Legacy SE sedan (you can still get the wagon up here).
  2. Sorry for the delay but I just found your post. This is a NY vehicle I imported (new) into Canada. My registration says Legacy Outback and I talked to someone who imported the same vehicle (also new) from the same dealer. His car is registered as an Outback. This difference in registration is the source of my initial confusion.
  3. Sebbery, Many thanks for pointing out the differences between the 2 Outbacks, especially the regarding ground clearance and suspension. For the record, I tested an 07 Outback and received an 07 Legacy Outback but I swear the suspension feels different. Now it could be the shocks on the delivered car are still stiff and will loosen in time but the demo vehicle couldn't have had more than 3000 miles on it so it should have still been tight. The Legacy was also delivered with a few more psi in the tires than recommended so naturally it would ride firmer than the Outback (they both had the same tires). AS for me, I'm off on a cross country trip in this vehicle in a month and will be putting snows on it for lots of travel in snow country this winter.
  4. Sebbery, that's sort of the point, I ordered an Outback and got a Legacy Outback (both say Outback on the rear). I personally have no intention of initiating or participating in a class action suit, it was merely an observation. There are some extremely touchy people on this forum. From what I have been able to gather the Outback has 8.4" of ground clearance and the Legacy Outback has 8.1". All the other dimensions appear identical so I assume there is slightly different suspension between the two. During my 3 test drives of the Outback it seemed to have a slightly softer ride than the Legacy Outback. Whether my vehicle is a Legacy Outback or an Outback matters little, what does matter to me is the difference in ride. Paul
  5. The class action suggestion was for those (like me) who ordered a full sized Outback (not a Legacy) and were delivered another vehicle. There is a substantial difference in resale value. My bill of sale does not mention Legacy nor did the salesperson.
  6. I'm in the same situation. I ordered an 07 Outback 2.5i Limited. (nowhere does my purchase order mention Legacy), the car was registered as a Legacy and the Subaru transportation sticker and the owners manual both say Legacy. It was titled as a Legacy. I think Subaru was playing around with the Outback name too much. It should be clearer for the 08s, if you buy a sedan its a Legacy, if you buy a wagon, it's an Outback. It wouldn't surprise me if there were some class action suits regarding this for the owners of older vehicles.
