2010 Legacy offering 3!! new tranny options?

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/...breaks-cover-ahead-of-new-york-auto-show.html

-Apparently a new CVT (2.5i only so probably can't handle much torque)
-A new more general-purpose 6-speed (probably coming to a WRX near you sooner than later)
-A 5-speed auto that can handle the torque of the 3.6L H6. (Auto STi now in reach?)

 

It looks a hell of a lot better than the concept car. Although I wish the trunk garnish would have made it.


I'm curious how they cut 50 lb from the 6 speed.

 

Not a fan.... Looks to much like a camry from the front to me apon first glance

 

Very interesting. I am curious too about how they lightened the 6spd. It is lighter than the spec B one which doesnt have DCCD to start with. I hope it is still as strong.

 

I read it and am fascinated by the transmissions. You guys are fascinated by the body paneling. *sigh*

 

:raise:

 

That's been around for two years already.

 

Indeed, and I'm sure internally there isnt much difference from any other year 5EAT.

 

The 5-speed auto was in the 08 LGT? I thought they only had the weaker 4EAT

 

They have been in every single turbo LGT ever on us shores. The only option for automatic trans. and the only transmission avail for every 05+ 6 cyl, be it tribeca, or outback.

 

Claimed 0-60 for the new GT is 5.9
This gen was 5.1 (R&T, 5 speed spec-B on RE050A, same tires). 22 more HP and slower. It's a porker.
