starhm Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 In the catagory of strange titles for an article, Forbes.com has listed the Legacy Outback wagon and Legacy their best pics for the station wagon and sedan catagory. also, it rated the reliability of the wagon as excellent and the sedan as very good. it is good to see the press though and i never really thought of the legacy sedan as a kid car... http://www.forbes.com/2008/05/30/cars-affordable-kids-forbeslife-cx_jm_0530cars_slide_2.html?thisSpeed=15000 unless i consider myself the kid...?

D_J Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Subaru owns the wagon market. Audi and VW are the only other contenders but Audi's are way too expensive and VW not nearly as mechanical reliable...not to mention no all-wheel drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It is the NA so maybe at that price point they consider it for younger drivers. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 um, did you read the article? It's about features that cater to kids as passengers, not drivers. I don't think it's a great list, but they never are from Forbes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhm Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 it is an article none the less and brings the legacy out. i cant imagine the car seat thing in the back or mine... i agree with above that this is not the turbo and i could see the wagon as more of a kid carrying car, but not the legacy. the press is good though...how can you just say kids want six speakers...and, yes, i read the article.

PPower Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Sorry, I should have quoted G.T.Subie. Why are six speakers important to kids in the back seats? That only helps out the soundstage for parents in the front seats. Press is good, and my boys like the Leggy, but their reasons are odd. Mine is extra nice since I've got a 9" drop down screen for them, but what MID-SIZE sedan can you get with DVD from the factory? Those entertainment options and amound of rear legroom are criteria I would be looking at. Oh, and rear seats that fit the angle of a child seat or recline! That is a single reason why wagons/vans/SUVs are better than sedans (Assuming the seat reclines in those). Audi A6??? Infiniti M35 can be had w/ DVD system and even shows the map from the nav screen so they can follow along with where you're going. They love it. Even power reclining rear seats.

G.T.Subie Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I didn't read the article why would I do that Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I didn't read the article why would I do that Quicker to get the posts in that way. For the kids, does cool factor apply so that they aren't embarassed to be seen in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 And they are giving it up like a cheap hooker... LOL Truth. Now Hyundai is coming out with the Elantra Tourer. Look for the Accord and Camry Wagons soon if gas prices stay the way they are. Yeah no AWD, but with traction control standard, only Suby nuts like us care about that.

krzyss Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Could it mean that Legacy wagon would be back? Krzys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Could it mean that Legacy wagon would be back? Krzys Doubt it. I see the logic of having the Outback and Exiga, though I pine for a Legacy wagon STi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
