Picky1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I would imagine it is going to look like the concept car that they had at the shows this year. Based on the write-up in Road and Track (see below) they were talking about a 3.6, but my bet would be on 2.0L DIT with a CVT Subaru may be pulling out of the World Rally Championship, but the Japanese company is keeping busy developing future production cars, as this Legacy Concept from the Detroit show proves. Do you like what you see? We do. This racier-looking Legacy remains a 4-door sports sedan, an all-wheel-driver powered by a 3.6-liter flat-6 boxer engine that provides the car with a distinctive growl while helping to lower the center of gravity for improved handling. The exterior of the Legacy Concept has a theme that Subaru calls "Presence." To that end, the Legacy Concept has a strong front design dominated by a grille with Subaru's wing motif. Around the side, dramatic wheel arches highlight the dynamism of the car's all-wheel-drive system, while design lines that flow from the hood to the roof and trunk accentuate the increased mass of the car. In addition to larger door openings for easier ingress/egress, the Legacy Concept also has side rear vision cameras. Subaru chose "High Definition" as the interior theme of the 4-seat Legacy Concept. As such, this global mid-size sedan has an expansive feel with lots of leg room. Pearl White leather with a blue sheen covers the seats, with black metallic leather on the door panels providing a nice contrast. The center console captures lots of attention with its cylindrical shape, not to mention its large touch-panel display. Subaru says this concept strongly suggests the styling direction of the 2010 Legacy, which will continue to be built at Subaru plants in Gunman, Japan, and in Lafayette, Indiana. For the record, some 3.6 million Legacy models have been built since 1989, the year of its inception, and the U.S. accounts for 43 percent of the production volume.

SubieDriver Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Interesting flashback. ^^^ The concept most of us loved turned into the production model most of us hated. Hopefully they won't do that again. For 2014: They'll add a few cheap touches to make it unique, but then make it a short model year to make way for the 2015 redesign.

ehsnils Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Diesel with CVT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Diesel with CVT... I can't remember where, I think it was an interview video on the web, but basically, that's not happening anytime soon. Which we all know is a huge mistake. VW TDIs are selling really well. Bring in at least a Outback and Forest Diesel and they would sell everyone they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboLag23 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What I would like to happen: JDM 2.0GT DIT Wagon with a manual transmission for us US people who want a fast turbo wagon. What's probably going to happen: next to nothing. Fingers crossed for the 2015 redesign though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieDriver Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 That ^^^ seems to be a different front end from the main pic on that page: http://www.inautonews.com/wp-content/uploads/yapb_cache/subaru_viviz_concept.dy32j1u6abk0gws44g480gggc.a5fuq7lrqzkgc0ccw4ss08gso.th.jpeg The main pic seems more concept-ish, whereas Picky1's pic looks more production-ish, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Also, picky's picture is an older version of the tourer concept. It has since been updated as the "advanced" tourer. http://img2.netcarshow.com/Subaru-Advanced_Tourer_Concept_2011_800x600_wallpaper_01.jpg [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hmm, looking at that pic, it strikes me as an ideal hybrid shape. Similar tapering profile to Prius and Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen5is Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hate how companies create all these awesome renders, yet the final production model is dull and boring... One of these big car companies need to jump the gun and beat all the other companies at their game and create something out of this world. Sadly this will never happen, companies are too focused on milking the market of their money with stupid pre/post facelifts, "updates" and reducing "costs" to creating bigger margins putting a smile on shareholder's faces. This isn't just car companies we're talking about.. any company, take Apple as an example. Im just quite frankly sick of it. GIVE ME A GOD DAM ALIEN SPACE SHIP LOOKING LIBERTY/LEGACY, FARK!

ehsnils Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 They create a lot of renderings, then they drop a few and see what the opinion is on them and then they go ahead. Unfortunately they look more at what magazines writes than what people say on the forums and comment. But it may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!!!!! B4!!! Glad this one is actually developing into things I have not seen yet. I did not know about the Geneva update. Looking forward to seeing where the 6th Gen goes. God knows I want a Tesla Model S but I think a 6th Gen will have to do.
