Subaru Legacy Concept
The Legacy Concept is larger and more powerful than the current production car, continuing a trend that began with the most recent redesigns of midsize sedans including the Honda Accord, Mazda 6, and Toyota Camry.
CG Says... Don't expect Subaru to mess with success here. Look for the redesigned
Legacy (and Outback) to look and feel very much like the current
vehicles. Note that Subaru was one of the only brands to experience
sales volume gains in 2008. Credit Subaru with cautious redesigns of
proven packages, modest growth ambition, and knowing why its customers
keep coming back for more. |
No word on an Outback variant of the next Legacy, but there's little chance that the popular SUV-flavored wagon won't return. An Outback sedan can't be ruled out, either. No word on pricing, but expect the 2011 Legacy to arrive in showrooms late in 2010.
