SubieDriver Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It sure looks like a Legacy wagon to me. The grille reminds of a cross between an Acura and a Ford, but, overall, the look is pretty good. Edit: I think the overall shape reminds me of a Mazda - somewhere between a Mazda 3, 5, & 6.

The B4 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 This isn't a big car at all... it's the same length as an Outback... but with the wheelbase of a Tribeca. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I like the idea of a full size 7 seater. My moms 91 Volvo has a fold up back seat for 7 but its tiny and uncomfortable and facing backwards Definitely not safe either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 http://www.thetorquereport.com/2007/10/subaru_exiga_concept_unveiledi.html I believe they said that it is supposed to replace the forester or this will be the new look of it. However out of all the new cars that subaru made the forester still looks the best right now, the exige...not so much. Especially the "sti" equipped forester. The rear bumper styling looks pretty aggressive though. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 And thus cutting them in half is an even BIGGER noteworthy achievement!!! Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

LegGTLT Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I dont know if you noticed my post above. And I'm not sure if you noticed that they have dropped much quicker then other minivans if you look up sales numbers. They're dropping quicker, the industry average (from what I could find online) was a 12-15% drop for 2006 from 2005. Quest just seems to be a little worse... you said it was successful, not me. Just pointing out that it doesn't seem to be doing any better then other minivans, perhaps even worse then most over the last few years. Least of all would I call this minivan "successful" with sales dropping like they are. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

jmcgliss Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Why bother with speculation? We know that after the high point of the 05 LGT they will just continue their downward spiral. It'll be some rounded confused looking glob of styling cues that in no way flow together. It'll have a 5MT and paper speakers and a 5" "subwoofer" and once again we'll look wistfully at the cool rides the Aussies and Japanese folks get. There will never be a 6mt twin trubo wagon. There will never be a legacy STi outside of a ricers garage. Subaru lost me with the demise of the wagon in the US. Myabe I can find one used to replace my too-cramped sedan? By 09 the color choices will be black or white. The interior will be taupe. I agree that the demise of the LGT 5MT turbo wagon is a downward spiral towards generic cars...which is also the Toyota way. The analysts at workstations will decide that the hatchback market and wagon market are interchangeable, and separate from the enthusiast market. Therefore wagon now equates to Outback only. My wife and I won't support that thinking with our dollars.

jmcgliss Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Copy and paste that into a letter to SOA, will you?
