Hey Since this is Subaru i think they are gonna eventually bring the H6 to the US and the second to top engine then bring a Turboed H6 to go against the Volvo S60 R. Volvo doesnt have a direct competitor performance wise and Subaru H6T model would be in the Price range ($35-40 grand)

Not too sure what to think about the exterior design.. It looks like a Honda Accord up front. This means.. mundane, bland, boring.. But, I haven't seen the rear yet so I won't make a decision on the exterior design yet.

Subie = Saab?

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.

Now if you had said that back end of the sedan looks like the previous generation Audi A4....
Also, does anyone know if this is more than just a minor, if very well done, facelift? The stuff between the fenders looks almost identical to my '00 Legacy.
Cheers,

I agree with you.
It has similar proportion as the original B4 and I think they did a fine job refining the design.
Especially the rear section, it looks very similar to the original B4.
People seems to find resemblance to other cars in this thread but I think overall the car is very very B4like.
Yea Saab definitely copied B4 with that new sedan.
Original B4 was designed with Porsche and to me it is one of the best looking sedan. It has a unique C-pillar area I think the c-pillar to the rear trunk lid area is the most sexy part of the car.
I'm glad Subaru kept it.

From the pics I have seen, I can say that something is going on at Subaru. What a beautiful, tasetful, understated sedan. Coupled with AWD and 280+hp it should be more than a match for the overpriced Audi/Passat/C-Class MBZ/3-series BMW
Where do I sign up for a black B4??!!
