Subaru Legacy Concept


Here is a sneak peak of the Legacy Concept that will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January. And we like what we see.

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. Not many details of the Legacy Concept have been released, but Subaru says the interior will embody modern high-tech architecture while still remaining comfortable. From the outside, it's clear to us that the front fascia is far more distinctive than before, helping to create an aggressively sporty look that's complemented by the significantly flared wheel arches.

We have a strong suspicion that these styling elements will be seen in the 2010 Legacy, which will continue to be built at Subaru plants in Gunman, Japan, and in Lafayette, Indiana. Of note, 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. -http://www.roadandtrack.com
