I was driving into town yesterday (Edinburgh) and saw 2 newish Legacy saloons.
IMO they have a much more discreet (and lets face it far less ugly) appearance than the 'new' Impreza
Do you think Subaru are missing out on an opportunity by not offering the Legacy with the UK approved 218 bhp engine?
I for one would have changed my last car for one if there had been one available. I know you can quite easily get your hands on a B4 RSK but that's getting into importing/no warranty situations which a lot of people on this board avoid.
Think of it, a legacy with a slightly less 'in yer face' bodykit than the RSK and the UK turbo engine.
I'm sure with the more discreet image than the now well known Impreza they'd be flying out of the door? OK, bigger and heavier but major fun all the same
What do you think?
Doofus.

I had a Legacy turbo before and still think it was pound for pound the best value perfomance car I've had, yes better than my MY00. I realy like the look of the new Legcy and its available in some really cool colours like the puple-blue mica which looks amazing in the sunlight.
If there was a proper UK Legacy turbo I'd have bought that and not my Impreza which is a bit of a squeeze for my fishing gear.

Ye it was a bad move not to bring in the turbo Legacy.And the B4 aint that extreme looking in fairness.Another missed oppertunity is the lack of a Diesel Forester but anyway.
