Looks like a 2013 Ford Taurus and a 2013 Toyota Camry mix-mash conglomerate. Where are the old designers?

agreed. these cars and the new wrx/sti have so much potential to be aggresive and beatiful, but these new designers are just plain blind. i like this legacy look, but i guarantee it wont look anything like this. picture this with 17 inch wheels, a raised top, door handles, less coupeish, higher, with a bunch of ugly trim pieces and badges everywhere. its gonna look like a kia.

The legacy will never be a 2 door. Point of the car is to be bigger

It looks a lot more like a 2013 Accord Coupe that someone tried to dress up like a Mercedes SL.

You can have basically that look today with a new Accord.

They could want an up-level coupe as other manufacturers have been doing. Besides, a Legacy coupe with L-GT power levels, AWD and a manual transmission would be pretty rad. Also the 2005 LGT that I am driving right now missed that point because it does not feel any bigger inside than my WRX (whether it is or not, I don't know).

It is. Sit in the back seat.

Legacy models have always been a little bigger... not much... but the point is to have the upscale stuff. Imprezza stripped down. Legacy nice.
