violhence Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Have there been any reports on what the projected HP is for a 2010 Subaru Legacy coming up at the end of this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupkake Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 From 170 base model to 200hp base model. Those they might not be exact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicmarsal Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 the legacy really needs big HP jump 300 mark FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 the legacy really needs big HP jump 300 mark FTW. That might be hard to justify because then it would be the same as the STi...and I don't think Subaru would want to do that unless the have a power increase in store for the STi next year.

Makes sense, but doesn't. Subaru shouldn't need to worry about the Legacy competing with the STI anyways. Even if they put the same power out, the Legacy is still a larger heavier car. Subaru better give it a bump to the 300 mark if they expect to be taken seriously and compete with a lot of their competition. I sometimes have buyers remorse with my Legacy and wish I had gone for an STI. It just feels so sluggish and so under powered to me sometimes. Then I look at the interior and features and realize why I passed on the STI. It's a different market segment. I'm sure Stage I and II will take care of that though complaint for me though.

Fletch Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 They should use the '09 WRX turbo and make the same 265hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"stage 1" will bring you quite close to a STi....and realize too, you paid $5k-$10k less for your leggy and have more amenities....The nice thing with subaru is it's fairly cheap to make power...You can take the $5K-$10K you saved on your leggy and have more of a car than the STi...the major thing you lack in the Legacy is the DCCD, which I find most people don't know how to use it properly and usually don't mess with it.

Amoxi Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well if you're comparing 2009 to 2009 then I doubt the 20lbs difference between the STI and LGT is really that significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimakf7 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Get a Spec.B and you won't have to worry about how much hp you're putting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicmarsal Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 ^^ pretty much..on pg54 my words will be misconstrued in saying that the new legacy WILL have 300hp rather than my request for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Get a Spec.B and you won't have to worry about how much hp you're putting down. the human brain can only comprehend 0.012% of the total amount of power put down at the wheels from a spec B. if you think about how much crank hp that is for more than 2 minutes your brain will explode. car for sale.

heyjl Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The N/A engines stay the same at 170, while the GT models will get 265, like the 09 WRX's.... http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090331.018/all-new-subaru-legacy-sedan-unveiled-prior-to-new-york-auto-show-debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
