subaru legacy concept

In Subaru's lineup, the Legacy has mostly been forgotten -- the midsize all-wheel drive car sells less than all Subarus except the Tribeca. The Legacy concept, debuting at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, looks to change that.
Subaru has only released one teaser image of the concept so far, but what we do see is promising. Then again, with the new Impreza, Subaru didn't exactly set the styling bar high. The Legacy concept's grille fits into the Subaru design language well while vertical foglights are nice touches we hope make it to the production Legacy.
Under the hood is a 3.6L Boxer engine. The six-cylinder engine offered on the 2009 Legacy is a 3.0L Boxer producing 245 hp. We expect that figure and fuel economy numbers to rise with the new engine.
The Legacy's 20th anniversary is next year, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate then to introduce a new model. Subaru says 43 percent of Legacys head to the U.S., so it's not too surprising that the automaker has chosen Detroit as the concept's debut location.
