ScoopMan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I like the Sport Combi (or whatever its called). So it looks like Saab, Audi and BMW if you want a sportwagon in the US after this year. Maybe Volvo if you count the V50. Everything else is some kind of crossover, tall tippy things for people in SUV withdrawals. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The actual market value difference is even more. Canadian dealers do not negotiate like US dealers. There is no starting at invoice and working your way down... believe me, all said and done you're looking at about $12k-$13k USD more OTD. Sure there is.. I had to negotiate to get the price of my '05 down to $36k CDN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The wagon has worked very well for me and I'm really glad I bought mine when I did. However I have to say that the deal killer on the sedan for me was the lack of rear folding seats which I had on my previous 95 legacy sedan and they finally decided to bring back in 07. I can't fathom their thinking on that one. The outback never interested me as I was looking for more of a sport sedan/wagon. Something to go to the grocery store and haul arse getting there. Aside from styling the impreza would not work for me as it just does not have the room I need for kids, gear and dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4wantab Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If it wasn't for the Outback we probably would not have Subaru here in the states. It is arguable, but it saved Subaru. They had a good car no van or truck so they jacked it up put two tone stripes on it and called it an option. Nothing wrong with that. Who ever thought it up was a genius. What SOA has done to the legacy now is just short sighted. The rest of the world has the Legacy as a flagship, here in the states it plays second fiddle. I am going to take a look at the 9-3 awd sport-combi. My brother had a 9-3 and loved it. I will try an Outback but don't have much faith that it handles any better now. Plus the &^%$@$ parking brake level hits right at the edge/under my knee-cap. Very odd but a big problem for me. Peace, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The only way that you could confuse the Legacy wagon and the Impreza hatch is if you were high on some sort of mind altering substance. I just sat in an 08 Impreza, and while the interior is a visual upgrade from the previous generation, it is still filled with el cheapo plastic that doesn't compete with a Civic (maybe on par with a Mazda 3). All the flashy chrome on the trunk is nasty, I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a limited version with leather, sunroof and a toned-down trunk. The Impreza is nothing like the Legacy, not even close. I don't confuse them; however, lots of people do not see any functional difference between the two. Since Impreza is a bigger market, SOA might have wanted to clean the playing field as much as possible - including removal of Legacy Wagons. I voted with my money and I have 05 LGT Wagon.

frathouse87 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I can understand the logic behind the Legacy becoming solo sedan and the outback solo wagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frathouse87 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 well with seeing it from there business POV i can see why they would want to cut back on 2 of nearly the exact same wagons and sedans. From the customers POV i agree it sux cuz the LGT wagon was hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyss Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 My understanding is that only a tiny fraction of GT wagon people would look at XT. Most will look for other companies sport wagons. I am not sure about 2.5i wagons but not everybody will buy 2.5i Outback either. Considering that for some time Legacy and VW were the only entry level imports offering the wagons it is sad. I personally was looking forward replacing 2003 VW Passat wagon with Subaru wagon in couple of years. Now it is not an option. Krzys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
