A video fusing 25 years of the Legacy with the release of the new Legacy. The 1st generation Legacy passes the "Baton" to the 2nd generation, then on to the 3rd, finally all the way through to the 6th all-new Legacy. A brilliantly composed clip touching on both the history of the Legacy as well as the continual improvements being made as the flagship model of the Subaru brand.
A smooth, laid-back video outlining the majestic, inspiring exterior design, distinct wheel arches, interior accessories and infotainment that the new Legacy brings to the stage.
Its design has the force to generate a new stream inducing a sense of exaltation of you, the people and the city. Its performance induces you to go further with the assuring function confidently ensures the safety and security. The new sedan, LEGACY will be blended within the people, the city.
A new imaging technique called "3-screen Projection Installation" has been used. This video outlines three white screens installed around a LEGACY sitting on a central stage, with a projector used to display video on the screens.
A brief look into the world of Subaru design during development of the all-new Legacy, where functionality meets performance and quality.

Nice looking, but certainly not much more exciting than the current bland version. 37 MPG is impressive for an AWD midsize with a large 4 cylinder. Sounds like the 6MT might be a goner, but it seems unlikely because I do see a fair amount of them at the dealer when I visit. No turbo option is also a disappointment. Maybe a Legacy GT will return now that they have the CVT variant of the WRX.
I'm biased, but I like mine the best.

There's just something econobox about it. These pics make me feel it fits more among the compact class (Corolla, Civic, Elantra, Sentra) than the midsize class.

I get that vibe as well. Nothing really "upscale" about it (which I thought they were going for). Size wise maybe it's the picture but it looks like a straddler between compact and midsize class

What sets it off as econo and downmarket is the silly wing window above the sideview mirrors. These unecessary windows are found on cheap, 1980's econo cars and trucks of Europe, who's body structures could not be designed to accomodate the entire front window fitting inside the door when retracted. There's no class with such a design feature, other than bringing down the side profile and making it look nerdy and cheap.
Seriously WTF is happening in these Japanese boardrooms?

I don't notice as many Subarus around as I used to. There are a few tree-huggers driving them back home in my hometown though.
This is the last good looking Subaru:
