I'm sure that Subaru had a good reason to have mr. Ken HONDA as its spokesman & I wonder whether we're ever gonna hear a guy whose name is Alan Mercedes,for instance,talking on behalf of BMW in the near future!
Well,the new legacy earns its name this time as some real improvements have been acquired in this completely new generation.

Starting with the engine,the car is available with one of three engines:Either 2.0,2.5 4cyl or 3.0 6 cyl unit.The engines are mounted lower, as the center of gravity has been revised; weight is down, undercarriage and steering are revised.The 3.0 litre engine has an output of 245 bhp available with 5speed automatic transmission which will be followed by 6 speed manual transmssion later on.(see the reference for more information)
Full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive system alongside great steering improves the car's stability by which Subarus are well-known.In addition,fuel consumption has been reduced thanks to new 'constant pulsation' exhaust system eliminating the noise of the previous exhaust!

The interior has matured alot as it includes wood trim on its top version(3.0) erasing its image as the plastic feeling interior maker!
