MtnSub Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Has there been any hard news about Subaru going sedan only for the Legacy line and wagon only for the Outback line, (all geography's??) or is this just forum chatter hysteria?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincedog3 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I agree, Ipods are more sensible. Md by the missed opportunities of Sony...again, had a great idea. Should have made it big in the computer world. Who needs a useless floppy anyway. 350mb optical recording in the same space. They could count me in. Plus it fits in a pocket where cds' won't. Now lets see how Sony/Pioneer do blue ray. Could use the 50gig plus storage for back up and other projects. We'll see. For your car audio/video needs:D Audio Crafters IS it. In Pasadena Ca.

Paddle shifters, chrome dash trim, SI-Drive, illuminate cupholders sound great. Improve the audio and add a few more hp to the engine and that'll seal the deal for a trade up to another Legacy.

SWP-LegacyGT Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 you guys and the wagons is just stupid, coming from a guy that lives on "Subaru Coast" IE the front line of Subaru's, they won't ditch the legacy wagon, they just won't. That being said, I'm going to have to plop a deposit down on an '08 as soon as the dealer will allow, my god it's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I really hope the paddle shifters have faster shifts. I seriously doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWP-LegacyGT Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I really hope the paddle shifters have faster shifts. I seriously doubt it though. Most likely it will depend on the SI mode. Also, it's going to be a 6 speed Auto instead of just a 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That trim around the automatic looks wierd - I kinda like the current one better, but those paddles look awesome and will make for even more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuyodaddy Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Lets hope the paddle shifters are DSG... Paddle shifters in my gf's IS300... not all that great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Lets hope the paddle shifters are DSG... Paddle shifters in my gf's IS300... not all that great IMO. That's an Audi technology, so don't expoect anything nearly as good in the Legacy. Also, is the Legacy going to have a 6-speed auto? I'll be happy if they improve are able to improve the dreaded delay when manually shifting in the automatic - the delay in my '05 takes way too long - I've bounced off the limited because of the 600-700 rpm delay.

Jedi Pimp Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's an Audi technology, so don't expoect anything nearly as good in the Legacy. DSG is not in fact an Audi/VW group technology. It is licensed from Borg Warner, a company based in the USA. The technology is called Dualtronic and is being licensed to other car manufacturers as well. http://www.automotive-business-review.com/article_news.asp?guid=E900487A-4FE5-4AC4-BAF2-21D1A509F3DC Therefore, Subaru could in fact develop their own version of "DSG" provided they licensed the technology.

MtnSub Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hey, give me a 280+ HP, 6MT, sport suspension Outback that is a little lower than the std Outback yet better clearance than the LegGT, without the body clad and I will be trading my 05 LegGT in for an Outback in MY08. Subaru can offer the std Crok Dundee Outback and a sport Outback so they can drop the Legacy wagons. Money they save buy eliminating the Leg Wagon line should help them afford to offer a Dynamite OB sport wagon and a beefed up Crok Dunde wagon. Instead of offering lots of bland, give the market some spice, some interest, some niche identity and advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnSub Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 SuperhawkLgt, unfortunately, you are probably right. The future of Subaru wagons is most likely bland on bland and grandpas LL Bean machine. I may be nearing "grandpa", but I am not ready for LL Bean OB. Just shoot me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamie700 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I don't know, I think wagons have a chance. Hell, I came from a Mustang GT to a wagon, I could not deny the functionality but still wanted performance (I also did not want a camry:lol: ) Look at the Dodge Magnum, they seem to be selling pretty well. I see Audi wagons all the time, with an occasional S4. Maybe eventually people will realize they do not need SUVs as they NEVER go offroad or do anything else that they were originally designed for. Maybe wagons will be mainstream oneday?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
