dgoodhue Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I would love to see a MT and likely would buy one, but I don’t see it happening. Subaru is moving all their vehicle to CVT besides WRX and BRZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creep_nu Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 they might use the legacy as a test bed for a manual for the new turbo to work out any kinks before throwing it into the STI...at least we can hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeuEmMaiMai Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 using manuals does not allow for total control over engine emissions, prolly will not come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Modern cars suck in so many ways. They deny the driver the experience of driving. They have become wheeled toasters for the masses. No one buys manual transmissions except for specialized cars. When I bought my used 350Z a year ago, I had to drive from South Bend, IN, to Chicago and Milwaukee to find one without an auto. I mean, wtf? Who would own this car with an automatic? WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraedeohed Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah, cars today fall into the category of "commuter boxes, luxurious golf carts, our sporty golf carts". When I'm seriously considering purchasing a Honda Accord sport 2.0T, because it's the closest thing I can find that seems like a fun sedan, that's sold brand new with a stick... It's depressing. I know there are German alternatives, those also have German issues. If the next WRX is big enough, maybe I'll switch camps, but Subaru is missing out on a loyal market. When trucks that I've been looking, still sell in a stick. So maybe it'll be a Tacoma... 3 pedals till I die Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nads Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm a stick guy too but for my daily grind the 5eat has been nice. Yea it sucks when I want to "drive" the car but that's not too often anymore. I got a TKO600 in my GTS so I'll bang that went I get the urge. Sedans are dying. The market is all shifting to SUV/Crossover type vehicles. I doubt we'll get anything performance oriented, which has always been the case with Subaru North America. I wouldn't not be surprised at all if the Legacy is no more for NA. DI and CVT are Fail. It's like Subaru just awoke in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If all the people who get sudden nostalgia for something they can no longer buy, had actually made the purchase when they could, the demand may have justified Subaru continuing the model or option...Legacy wagon, Legacy GT how many 5th gens sold in 2012? Easier to complain after the fact I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm a stick guy too but for my daily grind the 5eat has been nice. All depends on what stick. I daily the 6 speed in my civic and love it but would be miserable doing the same thing in the Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhiaAddict Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 New Legacy will come with the FA24DIT from Ascent but will have CVT with Paddle Shifters. That's the best were going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This B4 version is a reasonably good looking car. Of course the USDM version will have ugly bumpers, tiny wheels, etc. I'd love a 6MT wagon version, and a high-spec special edition would be icing on the cake. Oh yeah, that FA24DIT is a must, I can't go back to 170hp. All things said, I would consider this, in wagon format, as my next DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....there goes my dreams of a new 6MT turbo Legacy and the nice bridge that KRB has for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
