Gene J Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I got to see the new 2010 Legacy up close and personal Wednesday evening. In person the front and back of the Legacy look great! The interior is very nice. The side? The slab of wheel wells make the 18 inch wheels get lost in there. The wheel wells look like a 1966 Olds Toronado. It looks way odd. The Outback can't be told from the Tribecaa that was parked next to it. It is also unbelievably tall. I am 5' 8 and it was just taller than me! Think real jacked up SUV looking, crossed with a mini van! In short I might buy a sedan but since it is not a wagon it does not have enough room for 4 adults and camping gear. The Outback? It looks tall enough to flip it in High Speed Autocross. Judging from the Subs from the last few years they have been infected by the ownership stake of GM a few years back. Think lack of gauges, chrome slathered on with a trowel and just bigger with no personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have noticed a trend of gawd awful quantities of chrome on the new toyota's as well. And poo. I think the designers at subaru have lost their minds. They need to come up with some sort of new design, not recycle everyone else's. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch i think they are just using the tool and dies from the tribeca to get thier moneys worth out of it. Hopefully the next go round they will start getting back to wagons, or even what they are getting in Oz, which is smaller version of the 2010. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headlights make it look a little like Amy Winehouse just had a 3-way with a Suzuki SX4 and the new Impreza while on crack; the grille is something ripped and twisted out of a Lexus GX SUV with excessive chrome thrown in. They blended the tail lights from a G35 and a Sonata into a strange mixture, and threw in a bit of ground Lexus IS seasoning to a Honda accord base and set the oven on broil to get the body lines. SUBARU, WTF HAPPENED TO YOU!!!??? Seriously man, they do need to get back to their roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'm actually trying to scan in a pattern that I would like to see photoshopped onto the new Outback. But my FREAKING scanner wont work! Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAR too generic looking for my tastes. I enjoy a vehicle that stands a little apart from the rest of the herd. That Tribeca shot you posted Nipper, it looks damned near identical to an Acura MDX!
