Yikes! Why would they change the Outback like this?
The Legacy is dead. The Outback was never going to keep its old sedan-like roofline forever. Time to move on.
Playing the mainstream game. This could go really well—or really badly—once cross-shopping starts.
If they took the Impreza Crosstrek and put a WRX engine + manual in it, I’d buy it tomorrow.
Actually, do that to any of their cars and I’d be interested.
