2008 Legacy and Outback Review

This is more of a model overview but it is still a good read. It mentions the hate of the wagon here in the states. I still don't know why SOA discontinued the wagon. It seems like every review of the Legacy mentions that it comes in wagon form and none seem to knock it for that. Perhaps SOA knows of this wagon hate and its' underground movement and discontinued it because the power political wagon haters have and they wanted to protect its' customers.

Compared to a comprably priced BMW or Audi, this interior is simply beautiful.

I'm with you dude- some assholes insist on Bimmers, etc just to be "in".

hate to rain on your parade, but as long as subaru insists on recycling 'charcoal' dashboards for use with the 'taupe' interiors, i will have to disagree. i think this is what turns off many of the members here to the taupe interior.

 

even the new impreza can get a taupe legacy steering wheel, why can't a legacy? and does it really cost too much to make two different color e-brake handles?

 

its a shame, cause the taupe leather seats are literally quite handsome

Yeah, I think the taupe dash would blind me or create some sort of crazy glare. Also, it would be hell to keep clean.

glad i passed on porsche and mercedes before settling on my subaru. crazy glare. can only drive 'em at night, apparently. ha ha, stupid krauts don't know nothing about driving ergonomics.

The point is choice, wherever possible is a plus. If they can build a silver car with a black interior, why is it too expensive or too difficult to build a blue car with black interior? It should be a simple matter of getting the right parts on the line at the right time. And , now that Camrys are built at the same factory, are they going to limit their options because SOA can't do that? I think not!!
You're just jealous that the Voices talk to Me. :cool:

I have always liked my '05's tan interior with the upper section/steering wheel in the charcoal/black combination. For one thing it flows really nicely with my black exterior. :)

That just adds unnecessary complications to the assembly line.

 

No kidding. Look at the Mini Cooper. You can customize everything, and you end up with a teeny-tiny car that has mediocre performance and costs over 30K on average. :cool:

 

On the other hand, a little more choice would be good. More exterior colors, eh? To get more choice out of Subaru, they have to sell more cars. Simple as that. When you sell more of 'em, you can offer more varieties... kinda like the Ford Mustang. Not a great car, but Ford sells a heap of 'em and hence can offer them in about a dozen colors. Wouldn't be caught dead in one, myself... but you can be caught dead in the color of your choice, at least!

Yeah, there's a dude around the corner from me who has a Mini Cooper convertible and it's not an S. He wanted the S but thought the money was ridiculous for what amounts to a useless car as far as transporting much. He's a lawyer too.

Yeah, the Germans really know ergonomics with iDrive and MMI. The Germans are known for their ergonomics and simple, easy to use cabins. In fact, when I think of Germans I think of ergonomics. Also, there is a difference between taupe and the above colors. I bet the material used above are a little nicer than the one used in Subarus.
