Perscitus Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 HT-CVT will most likely be the same as that used in the Ascent or a further revision of it. Basically a rehashed TR690 (as first seen on the 2012 JDM Legacy DIT), nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjcarst Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 They need to offer standard profile tires. Low profile tires suck in the midwest where the roads are littered with potholes. Main reason I sold my SpecB and replaced it with a SUV. Tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Maybe, but why would they say the 32%(???) horsepower gains? Makes me think of something different. I mean, they didn't mention anything like that with the Ascent launch, so why now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I am not sure how they made the Legacy blend in further with the other sedans but they did! Still it has nice lines and hopefully better alloy options as those make it look more Tarus than Legacy. that XT trims sounds nice still will be overpriced for the segment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copyboy311 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Motor Trend posted a less press-releasy take on the new Legacy. Nice that the turbo's back, but CVT being the only option is not much fun. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/subaru/legacy/2020/2020-subaru-legacy-first-look-review/?wc_mid=4035:15779&wc_rid=4035:1070346&_wcsid=161BD8917BB43E49126522EAB2C8C7A9EEABF41658B05F88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Maybe, but why would they say the 32%(???) horsepower gains? Makes me think of something different. I mean, they didn't mention anything like that with the Ascent launch, so why now? 32% LESS losses compared to before. So, if the previous drivetrain loss was 20%, it's now 0.20 * 0.68 = 0.136, or around 14%. If it was 30%, it's now ~20%, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Haven't read about it - worked on a few Ascents using SubaruEdit, FA20DITs setup is better suited (from TMIC to exhaust setup) to respond to t00ning. Back to regularly scheduled BO/BT programming. Any thoughts about reasonable potential with new setup, maybe with E85? Is the CVT the limiting factor, as I fear?

mcg_ Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 More awful plasti-chrome window trim. Seriously, who likes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The exterior looks like a refreshed 6th Gen Legacy. Nice to see the 2.4DIT (Subaru dropped the Forester XT last year so you never know). The CVT is what it is. The Outback should get the same treatment and that is what I more likely to buy as I need a vehicle to tow my boat. I notice in the press release that Subaru finally put a 19mm rear sway bar on these vehicles which has been a popular upgrade of the 16mm that has been standard.

whitetiger Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 oh hello. were any of you expecting a performance sedan from Subaru instead of a top trim Camry competitor? I wasn't. when toyota starts making a V6 6MT Camry with bilstein suspension, and sells alot of them, then you might see a real LGT. Until then, the 2.4DIT is the EZ36R replacement on an otherwise top trim family sedan. Im more annoyed at subaru over a lack of 5-door wrx, or that they still wont make a regular Legacy wagon. I guess the return of the outback XT is imminent at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 stinger gt is a better "sports" sedan than the legacy will be in any form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Stinger w/ 2.0T w/ AWD roughly equals Legacy GT Stinger GT w/ 3.3TT w/ AWD roughly equals what the B11S would have been. (The B11S prototype was running 400hp/400 lb/ft torque, but production would likely have been less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 While I am delighted for the return of the XT, this is not the row your own gears fun LGT that I used to own. Keep the WRXs coming I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTG Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It doesn't look that bad and the interior improvements are nice and welcomed. 260hp as well as the torque is a little bit disappointing but lets be realistic. Most folks, tree hugers, moms & etc who buy these cars as basic transportation and will be impressed by it. I will need more technical info as well as pricing to see if I want one. Otherwise back to new upcoming BMW 340 X-drive or another 5 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
