St. John’s NF—The Subaru Legacy is a bit of an enigma. In the early days of its existence, the very late 1980s, it was the halo car for the brand and the one the company used to contest the brutally rugged World Rally Championship.
But in 1993, with the introduction of the smaller, lighter and sportier Subaru Impreza, the Legacy was moved upscale to become the company’s more refined and less extreme offering. Ever since, the car has suffered a bit of an identity crisis; unfortunately, the introduction of a brand new fifth-generation version may not remedy this situation.
