    The headlights remind me of a transformer.

    We'll probably see something similar minus some LED's, the HID's (standard on LGT only?), and the ridiculous side mirrors... plus a cheap plastic grill and giant snaggle-tooth license plate mounting tab...

    <--- thusly

    Excited to see what they release tho.

    It needs the LED treatment, at least on the LGT.

    At the last district sales meeting I went to for Subaru, the redesign of the legacy is trying to take the Car of the year award like the forester took sport utility of the year for 2009.

    Rumor says the new legacy will have a infiniti front and a lexus back.

    So will that have the diesel in it? My 05 is paid off and KBB is still over $20k (low miles, TX car, mint condition) and I have over $5k saved toward the new one but I didn't plan on it coming out until 2010.

    I do not care for the new grille. For some reason it reminds me of a ford.

    I do like the vertically aligned foglights though. They dont seem as awesome as the big round ones from 99-03 but very sleek and cool looking none the less.

    hmmm.....interesting. I happen to love the existing legacy, so pretty hard to get any better.

    side mirrors look terrible!

    My guess on the scoop is a a ducted type thing from the grille, kind of like a mazdaspeed 6 it gives it that power-bulge type look.

    I hope intercooler is big enough to use that little air flow. Otherwise, car looks sweet.

    Why do they have to **** everything up? They ruined the Impreza, now they're going to ruin the legacy. Well, looks like once the current Gen of Legacy's is unobtainable, I'll have to find a new brand.

    There's no getting around it, the thing is ugly. The drawing looked so promising, I think the silver/mercury color doesn't help it either.

    I think I dig it, uglyness is what makes a subaru a subaru...in all honesty what subaru is really attractive? maybe the GC, but those days are gone.

    Subarus are ugly cars, plain and simple, some can look really nice, but to your average person it would take lots of getting used to. we are subaru nuts, therefore we can embrace easier.

    2.5GT :) You should show him the pic, he should know who I am, we had some good conversations and it was pretty fun. He's a real nice guy, much better than the guy that tried to get me to sign the papers when I told him I needed a day to think about it :roll:

    sorry to get off topic guys :(

    But yeah... New legacy... could look good, I love the fenders and I think with some minor modding it could look really good. Let's just hope they don't throw some crappy headlights, no leds, no hids, and more plastic than a pontiac :ugh:

    That would suck, but so far I'm not going to make any judgements until the production version is shown :)

    as always. I'm going to delay my hatred until I see it in person. but from those pictures, I'm not impressed.

    although, I wasn't terribly impressed by the drawing either.....

    alot of people are worried they will alter the lights. i however dont think they will. they have focused too much attention on the 'new' headlights to change them. but they will change the 4 seat layout and all that technology. i hope they will also change that horrid chrome bezel on the back. yuck! other than that after looking at the car further i have come to actually like the car, although i think it still looks alot like an altima. the new legacy will lose alot of the noticeable fender flair with a different color and a more spoked rim.
