For 2008, Subaru has decided to simplify your car shopping experience whether you wanted them to or not. Gone are the Legacy Wagon and Outback Sedan. All Legacy models going forward are sedan-only, and all Outbacks are wagon-only. Frankly, we think this kinda stinks, as the Legacy Wagons were good-looking, sporty machines that allowed buyers to get a car with a good level of utility without having to also take the pseudo-SUV, moderately jacked-up look of the Outback. That's all over. It all obviously makes sense to Subaru, otherwise it wouldn't have made the change, and while we're fans of the Legacy wagons, we must say that the majority of newer Legacy-family cars we see in that body style are indeed Outbacks. Likewise, based on what we see on the roads, the standard Legacy Sedan easily outnumbers the newly-defunct Outback Sedan. Of course, in Japan and other markets, you can still a Legacy Wagon, and the JDM Outback's got a better-looking face, too. This seems to be an America-only bummer.

yeah...i LIKE the Subaru Legacy wagon...
a gentle drop, some BBS/ProDrive wheels make it look rather nice

I have a Legacy Wagon, I didn't like the body cladding on the OB but I can see the point since the OB wagon is 90% the same as the Legacy Wagon.
I'm sure most of the wagon buyers will just buy the OB wagon by default and Subi won't lose many sales.

they should make the outback looks more like the legacy wagon. how i see it is just a nomenclature issue.

that sucks, i was looking forward to subi/toyota hook up, and that hybrid system.. that would be nice considering i would only buy a subaru wagon.
