Rocktman Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Apparently, the Legacy will be just a fading memory. https://jalopnik.com/dead-the-subaru-legacy-1851432328 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Given recent production/sales numbers, it seemed inevitable. R.I.P. Legacy. https://media.subaru.com/pressrelease/2165/1/subaru-announces-legacy-production-end-2025 2025_Legacy_Discontinuation_Release_-FINAL.pdf "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." ~ The Cheshire Cat (Alice in Wonderland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 According to GCBC; more Outbacks were sold in 2023 alone than Legacy's over the last five years combined... basically 6-7:1 every year. There is a market for large sedans, but it's very small. Hopefully this means an introduction of the Levorg or similar. Legacy sales are very closely matched with WRX sales, so people who want a large'ish sedan will just move to the WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I read somewhere that in the Canadian market anyway, that only like 4% of all vehicle sales were wagons. Proper mid-size, not hatches. I forget the exact figure, but I think somewhere around 80% of those wagons sold were Outbacks. At least around me, I see a rare Allroad or Benz wagon, but I must drive past 4-5 Outbacks every day on the 18km drive back home. It's a bummer, but I suppose all the more reason to keep the one I have in good shape. Edited April 26 by KZJonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Subaru of America PR, in calendar year 2023 they sold 161,814 Outbacks vs. just 25,510 Legacys. That's a ratio of 6.3 to 1. The only lines with fewer sales than Legacy were all niche vehicles: WRX (24,681), Solterra (8.872), and BRZ (4,188). The Legacy accounted for barely 4% of Subaru's total U.S. sales for the year. Subaru_December_2023_Sales_FINAL.pdf For the first three months of 2024, the numbers were even worse: a whopping 35,213 for Outback vs. 4,398 for Legacy ... a ratio of 8:1. Legacy represented only 2.9% of total U.S. Subaru sales. Only Solterra and BRZ sales were below Legacy' dismal numbers. Comparing year over year numbers, Subaru's total sales were up 6.7% for the first quarter of 2024, but Legacy sales were down 13.1% ... continuing a grim multi-year trend.

All the more reason to keep after the maintenance on mine also. I love mine and do not plan to part with it anytime soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
