New Outback! Subaru Legacy and Outback @ 2009 NYAS

[AirsoftUnit2]

Proud to own and outback :D

[cheemooo]

the new outback and legacy have a beautifull appearnce!

[strato7o7]

UGLY! Not since the GLs and XT has Subaru rolled out any worse looking vehicles as the new 2010 Legacy and Outback. I really don't see how they could have missed the mark SO badly with two models in one year...both had been so good. Heck, I own a 05 Legacy GT wagon and it seems to be everything the pudgy camry/Xterra copy new models will never be able to hold a candle to.

[yelzhan123]

all subarus have low quality under engineered auto transmissions that jatco produced for decades so be aware even in a new subaru these problem is not solved just have a look at google type : subaru transmission problem , rubbish ever transmission used in subarus

[AWDfreak]

@yelzhan123 That's why you opt for the manual transmission :P

[kens97sto171]

I love Subies.. but they keep raising the car up.. Its getting to look a little stupid with all that space in the wheel wells... Its not a freaking 4X4 truck guys... and I don't want it to be... also don't like the new headlights much.. the last models looked way better IMO. I do like the look of the new Forester, and Impreza though.

[kernowrock555]

Thanx for the advice.. I want a diesel outback, but wanted auto as well, alas they only make the diesel in manual, but if u reckon they're not much good.. maybe a manual is better anyway... i SHOULD SAVE ON PETROL TOO.!

[kayakdad325]

the rack is lame and not for the outdoor enthusiest. I bought a 2010 outback and now unfortunately need to buy a 2nd vehical so I can take my familly of 4 kayaking. This new cheesy rack can only carry 2 kayaks and can not accomodate any aftermarket roof racks like its predisesor and most other crossovers or suvs

[quatlen]

The legacy kinda looks like a Mazda 6 but not really....

[jbandrews22]

odly i get what u mean

[quatlen]

ye, I guess it is the wheel archs/ flares that lead me to make the connection:)

[magnushel]

Subaru will always go offroad,if you will dare!

Subaru rules in tarmak and offroad, what EVER YOU WHANT. Fuck all the rest, 4 whell drive is what subaru is,and most quality that a car can bring!!

[dancethetrance]

Truth spoken.

[xSwordx]

when you use words like "whant," and "whell", you sound like a complete moron

[parsley0120]

The Outback isn't intended to be a crossover. It is just a station wagon.. And I never thought it was a Legacy with body cladding. Outbacks have always sat higher than a Legacy in my opinion. I don't really like that new Legacy very much. I think I like the 2005-2009 better than this one. I am excited for the Diesel boxer engine to make there way here in mid 2010 though!

[worldeyeview]

Diesel boxer is coming to North America??!! It's about dam time!

[parsley0120]

Yeah it is! I read it online. I'm pretty excited for it to get here. I've been thinking about getting a Jetta TDI for gas mileage but I would like to keep AWD. So now I can get both for Subaru in a year or so! It will be so nice!

[WC3POchannel10A]

The Outback is not a "Crossover"! It's a wagon! It's a station wagon! OK?!!! Edmunds Reporter: Was "Crossover" the propaganda word you were told to say out of fear of reprisal?

[Williedsel]

What a crock. The station wagon has 2wd where the crossover is a 4wd that kicks in when there is loss of traction. Ask anyone who lives in mountainous crountry and they will tell you the same. The outback IS a crossover. Plain and simple.

[WC3POchannel10A]

My 2000 Legacy "station wagon" has the Subaru All-wheel drive system. Outbacks have always been a Legacy wagon with more body cladding, more add-ons and larger wheels for those in mountainous country. If it looks like a wagon, it's a wagon no matter how many wheel drive.

[heroheroic]

rather small tires

[JewTimes2]

u need small tires for offroad

[jacenkel]

yeah and soooo many of these cars never will go off road.

[freakkk6sic6]

What?!?

[icedgenmaicha]

and the outback was a surprise too--this looks even worse in pics because wagon forms of sedans often come off wrong...but again i think subaru got it right. people wanted more room, and they got it in a pretty sleek package. i actually think the proportions are more correct with the 2010 as opposed to the outgoing model, because the latter was too narrow-looking for how high it stood off the ground, making it look unstable. the 2010 looks like a wagon. can't wait to see how it feels to drive

[icedgenmaicha]

MariusZ270570 and hkyktms are on to something--Subaru's don't photograph well, you've gotta see them in person. When I first saw pics of the 2009 Forester, I was like, this looks like a jacked-up impreza. But when I saw it in person I fell in love. Ditto for the 2010 Legacy--when i first saw pics in march, i thought it looked bloated, but when i saw it in person at NY auto show, I was floored--it still looked 'just right' which is what a subie is all about. crisp, with a touch of style.

[ej20tnz]

thats the uglyest legacy they have made, i hope the japanese market models have something to make them look better. First time subarus shot themselves in the foot on styling on a legacy. thought they would of learnt after doing it twice on the impreza

[bluecrew08]

I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here, I drive a 2nd gen and while yes, I thought the newer versions looked a lot better this latest showing is like a rebadged ford or chevy or something, it looks terrible, the sides are blocky, the wheel wells are blocky, the interior took a couple steps back in progress....my vote...no.

[thegreenway1994]

I love it! Is it out yet? If not when does it come out?

[snoel]

not optioning the sweet new diesel in the states is an odd choice, but both the CVT and the 6-speed are exciting. would have liked either in my 09 xt.

[vaguy78]

What happened to the 2.0L 200HP engine that was supposed to replace the 2.5? Subaru forums have been talking about this new engine for years. Did it just disappear

[tadhuxx]

Nice. :)

[shalvaj]

I really respect that brend gentlemen, new Outback is awesome!

[oneviwatara]

6 speed auto transmission would have been nice.

[isomania]

Fuckin TOYOTAs trash desingner!

[Asymmetry0]

its a AWD Camery

[roguetrip99]

no, that's what venza is

[tazzcaaarlovr]

awesome

[oneviwatara]

Sweeeeet!

[sbobkov]

oh my god, quit whining folks. EVERY SINGLE MODEL Subaru came out since the bugeye has been recieving OMGWTFBBQ!!111 reaction. you all will get used to it. the new models look sweet and it will grow on us. look at all the kids who were bitching about the 08 STI. where are they now? we all love the new STI. Legacy and Outback will be the same way.

[Propel3453]

man the 2008 models were way better, thats just so boring. I'm sure its still better than all american cars though.

[MARIUSZ270570]

Subaru's cars don't looks like OK at the first sight, but If you have one of them you can fall in love, and you don't change subaru for anything alse

[adj789]

just looks boring

[mdhiwamtaa]

whats happening with these subaru designers...?!! This car lacks....whats the word? Character!! No wow factor at all!!! Mitsubishi are doing a better job in their latest releases....The Mitsubishi galant is really a sight for sore eyes...this car looks more like a Toyota Camry

[hkyktms]

it looks like it could have lost something.... I'm thinking a character but i cant tell yet. May need to see it in person.

[caraddict520]

SUBARU HAS RUINED THEIR CARS

[metring073]

Subaru has gone backwards... such a pity.

[redr32]

every one is going backwards mustang camaro Challenger Porsche its the new thing sad but true besides has Subaru ever made something that every one likes ex wrx...i should know i have an sti and if it wasn't because of the speed i would have trade it in for the new forester..lol

[crammage]

bitchen it looks so fancy like a impala or accord

its finnaly gotten the right touch up , but i still miss the suby being small

I WANT A 360!!!!

[Plisken1986]

I just realized, Subaru no longer makes a true station wagon. Has such a useful car design really become another auto relic?

I love our 2000 Legacy wagon. So useful and utilitarian.

Why the hell does everything have to be bigger? Car companies have to max out one day. At least we still have the miata.

[caraddict520]

and the smart car

[Plisken1986]

"Looks more like a proper cross over."

Subaru is loved for making wagons. I'm sick of this cross over shit. "Cross Over" is just a lame Ford term to market more SUVs.

[crammage]

fancy talk for a tall wagon

[massdrewski]

at least the outback looks more aggressive. the legacy should have been more , well....a legacy! be different subaru!

[Arda86ca]

Chrysler Sebring called and it wants it's headlights back

[Plisken1986]

Nice one.

[MindBullets2142]

i hate people who are saying "mercedes wannabe" ... 2 COMPLETELY different car companies.

[davewhodavedunn]

The out back looks like a ripped off g37 from the front...why does every car company rip off every car company? what happend to being original?

[crammage]

ha ha

subaru toyota and nissan have looked similar in the past 20 years!

this one look more unique!

[sspope]

It looks like another Mercedes wannabe.

[oneviwatara]

I love the new Outback!

[bradhogan123]

old legacy wagons were nice

[crammage]

no leone better

[FLOCKAIRpilots]

its a subaru, this is what you should expect, nothing amazing.

[TangoR34]

The first commenter never ceases to amaze me...

[davidhalifax]

I thought it was a hyundai from the outside, it's a shame they don't have the Legacy Wagon anymore ... why do they force people to pay thousands of dollars more for a Outback if people want a wagon ???

[jax1492]

just means you have no life thats all

[VizzyX5]

Im still 1ST bitch
