TBH i think it rocks!! :D bout bloody time subaru designers came up with something that looked good, they had had some serious days off since the classic/22b

I'm really liking that! Legacy has been looking better and better every year recently! (unlike the latest impreza :D IMHO) Any word of an STi version again? :)

HMMM Looks real mean but am not a fan of how the car industry are designing there cars just seem to be strange designs but this is the future i suppose :(

Doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. Had 3 Leggy's over the years and enjoyed them a lot.

But this looks a bit to much like all the rest. Smacks of the new Vauxhall.

Just my 2p worth

Sorry, it's a bit Chrysler 300C for my liking. I'm actually quite a fan of the current model, it's just a shame that we don't get what the Japanese market gets in the way of range or aftermarket equipment.

I'm sorry, but why do IM not bring something like this in ( and before you come up with all the vehicle regs and import rules - they managed it with 16 22B's didn't they)

Please explore this site about the Legacy S402

now with euro4 compliancy i think its a bit difficult.

If they can get a current STi down to Euro4, then they can get one of these down - basically the same running gear - then do the same as Mitsubushi do with the MR versions to get the power back up again.

This is why the UK sti has the 2.5 now,the jdm legacy turbo has the 2.0 with twin scroll,and the b4,the twin turbo,Subaru were unable to get them to Euro4,must admit though the Sti Legacy looks amazing.

It's a shame Subaru didn't start doing diesels about 3 years ago..........they might not be in as much of a state as they are just now

Anyway, I think that Legacy looks quite menacing. I doubt I would ever buy on though

The S402 has the 2.5 engine in it, and a twin-scroll turbo, so should be able to meet Euro4 if tuned right, but yes the emissions was the problem with bringing the BE/BH model twin turbo legacies to the UK (it uses far to complex a twin-turbo set-up - but now I've got use to it I quite like it).

Possibly the other problem with these is that IM isn't that interested in bringing stuff in for enthusiasts.

The main issue is type approval costs also,in many cicumstances they dont have a say.

I agree that the cost of type approval for low volume units makes things a bit tighter, but pushing the right model is sometimes not always been IM strongest point - for instance, we have always had watered down versions of the Impreza. How man STi's made it to Britain before the P1, and even then it took Prodrive to do the necessary work for that to happen. The Legacy has never been well marketed, even though the top versions in Japan are easily as good as similarlly priced German equipment, we still get the middle of the road versions.

Although the current position of falling sales is due to economic decline, IM have only themselves to blame for not getting themselves in to a better position to battle this prior to the current depression.
