plunk10 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I would guess either the Impreza, or the Outback wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuzaxeman Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 my mom bought the baja and she loves it. living up north, she tells me the baja handles top notch in snow, the vehicle is unique so she get compliments, and she loves how she can dump her flowers and soil for her garden in it. hey, there are people that love their baja despite sales. also, the front of the baja feel more spacious than the legacy.

IwannaSportSedan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Huh? Do I dare ask how the Baja is more spacious than a <2004 Legacy? Since it basically is one? Or were you comparing it to an 05 or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc51373 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I was told by my Subaru dealer it is the Forrester, and to be honest that is what I see most in these parts. Maybe it differs by region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That implies that the Outback is more closely related to the Outback Sport than it is to the Legacy, which is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 It used to be that the Outback was a derivative of the more common Legacy. Now Legacy is the red-headed step child. The Outback is the model that makes the line, and the Legacy is a tag-along token to the normal-car market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Better define it as the Legacy Outback Wagon, Legacy Outback sedans are still rare sights JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com! RIP Coxx & Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outback is the model that makes the line, and the Legacy is a tag-along token to the normal-car market. That may be, but it doesn't change the fact that the Legacy and Outback are considered separate product lines, and the Outback and Outback Sport are considered part of the same product line. That is what makes no sense to me. Possible it's a marketing issue, or maybe it has to do with the Outback now being considered a "light truck".

IwannaSportSedan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I guess I still thought that Outback was a nameplate added to the Legacy line, and Outback Sport to the Impreza line, Outback basically meaning tall off-road version of the other car. and that the tall and off-road bit was the "Outback" part. (nothing you don't already know, of course...) I realize that it is getting harder to market that, and the "taller and off-road" market is aligning as a sub-segment of the Subaru brand. Since Legacy and Impreza names no longer appear on the Outback or OBSport, respectively, it is getting getting a little more confusing to the non-initiated, but hopefully people in the showrooms can visually differentiate an Outback, and an Outback Sport. I just wish STI were as diverse, and applied to the Legacy, as well as the Impreza, as the Outback nameplate does. It would bear out my two-prong Subaru plan of attack, tall-and-offroad along side AWD street and rally/motorsport performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 To be honest I think the new subaru naming system makes more sense. How confusing was it to people to have the Impreza, Outback Sport which looked just like an Impreza, the Legacy, the Legacy Outback, and then wasn't there somewhere just the Outback even before they finally decided on the current naming scheme? IMO it's pretty clear now though. The Impreza is the small sedan/wagon, the Forrester is based off it like so many other small SUVs are based off the small sedan, the Legacy is the midsize sedan and the Tribeca is the grown up SUV. The Outback is the unique model line combining cars with increased ride height and rugged parts. Well, the new scheme makes more sense to me, in the past I could never quite figure out what Subaru was up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah, it seems like there is a parallel line through subaru's models now. Car -> "all-road" Car -> SUV Legacy -> Outback -> B9 Tribeca (Baja held this place previously) Impreza -> Outback Sport -> Forester Too bad that parallel line isn't complete in the performance aspect. Car -> Turbocharged Car -> STI Turbo Car Impreza 2.5i/RS -> WRX -> WRX STI (spec B, C, S203, etc) Legacy 2.5i -> Legacy 2.5GT (&spec B) -> ____________ Hopefully this blank will be filled.

Drakuun Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 My co-worker wanted to ride in my car the other day. We were going for lunch.. he says to me he says... "You want to drive, I've never ridden in an Outback before" I stopped dead in my tracks, the smile left my face, I looked at him serious as death and said.. "It's not an Outback...." *paused for drama* "It's a LEGACY" To which he replied..... "oh..? whats the difference?" I then explained.. So yeh.. as you can see, Outback on the brain syndrom over here.
