Gire Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 ^^^ Penalizing people for driving gas sucking road pigs isn't the American Way though. It will never happen. Luxury tax and gas guzzler tax on exotics is understandable but taxing the million good 'ole boys who want a 5.0 Mustang or an Ford Raptor just won't happen. There will be another civil war.

kenzo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 After which a good horse will be worth more than a SUV. A spiffy new Subaru horse with AHD (all-hoof drive), leather seating, twin nose scoops and a rumbly exhaust... perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'd rather have a Legacy wagon, but if one were not available it would not keep me from buying an Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 And you can always lower the suspension on the Outback - even purchasing Legacy wagon parts to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I bet half of those bitching about the death of the wagon aren't even real customers. They just bitch because they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Marker Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 They got rid of the Legacy wagon to streamline the assortment. There was no real need to have a Legacy wagon and an Outback wagon. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am torn. I probably still would have gotten the Outback over a Legacy wagon had both been offered in 2009 with manual transmissions.

Obsessotron Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 They got rid of the Legacy wagon to streamline the assortment. There was no real need to have a Legacy wagon and an Outback wagon. It seems like there is a reason now since the Outback doesn't come with a turbo/manual transmission option. But I agree that's not much of a reason and it would only appeal to a very tiny niche.

GT Ski Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I dunno... as a wagon owner I would rather have an 05-09 style Outback first, then a Legacy wagon second, followed by the current Outback in a very distant third. The problem for us wagon lovers is that Subaru does not sell one at all anymore. The current Outback is as big as a Forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Actually I give up. I admit it. The people that are crying foul have a point. Subaru killed the wagon because the company is stupid AND got lazy and figured less models is better. Sales numbers had nothing to do with the decision. But that begs the question, what is an Impreza hatch doing carrying an Outback trim? I think they should have killed the Outback and offered the Subaru wagon as the Subaru Legacy Wagon Outback Sport. However, that would be absolute horror for those that like to go badgeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirpeknots Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Its not that Subaru does not make this car anymore. They do. Its just that they do not want to sell this car to you guys. We Euros have the Legacy sedan, wagon and outback. The Japs have them to. European Legacys are made in japan. They are lhd jdms with metric dails. The environment madness have killed the h6 and the gt in my country. We just have the 2.0r 2.0d and 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petmor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 If they only sold the GT as a wagon that would kick up the wagon sales. I'm glad that I got one, and its Japanese made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkb24 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I saw a white 5th Gen Legacy GT Wagon on my way to work this morning. It was pulling out of the hotel area along 40th here in Denver (Gateway Park). I was going the other way and almost didn't see it because I was focused on the very clean 2002 WRX right in front of it. For what it's worth, I do see a lot of 'test' cars in this area. On Tuesday, I saw a Ford C-Max. 2 weeks ago I saw about 4-5 Dodge pickups, heavily masked (probably the new Dakota or replacement). Previously I've seen the Fiesta-based CUV test mule and a camouflaged Focus months before it's release. Doesn't mean the wagon is coming to the US, but its something.

FLZ_Boy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I would be annoyed if the wagon came out, since I had to settle with the sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
