Subaru new LEGACY

4th generation Legacy came out in Japan on May 23rd.

The spec of the 3 engines that'll be seen on new legacy at this time are the following.

EJ20-R DOHC 16V, twinscroll single turbo, dual AVCS (in&ex)
280ps/6400rpm 35.0kg.m/2400rpm

EJ20-R DOHC 16V NA, AVCS
190ps/7100rpm 20kg.m/4400rpm

EJ20-i SOHC 16V NA (the first ULEV Subaru motor)
140ps/5600rpm 19kg.m/4400rpm

All the engines features equal length headers, which results in quite a different exhaust sounds than previous Subaru engines.
The distinctive Subaru boxer beat is less pronounced.

5 speed AT is available for the first time in Subaru history with this new Legacy.
Turbo models have a choice of 5EAT or 5MT with 'dual mass' flywheel
NA models are 4EAT or 5MT

Oh, man. That's a great looking car. The teaser pics honestly turned me off, but I like it now.

The interior looks awesome, too.

The front end looks fantastic!!! The rear end might take time to adjust.. I hope the Sedan has a different set of tail lights.

That Legacy Sedan rear end kind of looks like the new Civic rears...

Can anyone say SAAB 9-3.

I think both cars look nice. I haven't been following the Legacy news (what with all the STi fanfare), but it seems feasible that similarities might exist, based on the rumored (or confirmed) WRX-based 9-2 in the works.
