Is there ever a chance that Subaru will come out with a full-sized sedan? I love my Legacy, but I sometimes wish it had more headroom up front and more legroom in the rear. It would also be nice to have something bigger then a 4-cyl engine.
How about an AWD Ford 500?
Doesn't the Outback have more headroom than the Legacy? And the 6-cyl has much more HP than the 4.
I'd lood at the ford feestyle. Looks bigger than the sub and has a 6 standard . Cheaper too.
I don't think Subaru makes them.
The Outback is not a Sedan. It is more like a station wagon. No trunk.
05 Legacy GT. Turbo. Zoom and room.
Whats wrong with a 4cyl Turbo engine???
More than enough power for most people
You are right, of course. Strong emphasis on "most".
Well, just wait until GM finishes f*&king up Saab and Subaru. Already you can buy a Saabaru Impreza 9-2X, as well as a Saabevy Trailblazer....so soon, you will probably be able to buy a Subarutiac Grand Am or some other abortion.
It won't be a good thing.
My '02 Outback H6/VDC *is* a sedan. I walked out of a store last week to find two middle-aged women admiring it. It's a shame they didn't continue to make the sedan. I still get stares after 3 years. John
I would like a Subdeville.
How many HP do YOU need?
That's right. I forgot about that version. I saw one in a showroom once. The outward appearance is like an Outback, but inside isn't it about the same dimensions as a Legacy.
Beyond that, though, when I think of a full-size sedan, I also think in terms of stylish touches. Not particularly leather seats or appointments, but perhaps things like more footroom, perhaps individual headphone outlets in the back, maybe more plush upholstery. I'd also want the front seat to effectively be a bench seat with no center console. To me that OB sedan just looked clunky even though I'm sure it is actually pretty nice to drive.
At least more then my Legacy has.
I remember my 1967 Chevrolet Carprice with an 8cyl-327cid engine w/4bl carb. When I put my foot down on the gas pedal and the other two barrels of the carberator opened up, the engine said "Yes sir" and took off. It could pass almost anything except a gas station. I can't imagine what performance would be like with the same size engine and multi-port fuel injection and 32 valves and DOHC. It isn't as if I would use the power. It would just be nice to know it is there.
Look at what the STI does with a 2.5l 4 cylinder. There are more than a few ponies under the hood. Probably would make that Caprice look tame.
Having said that, if you want a battleship these days, you're stuck with a SUV. And you still can't pass gas stations...

Nostalgia aint what it used to be. :)
Owned.... :-p
Note that the way they rate the HP is different now. The GT appears to have more.
I take it you haven't driven a 4cyl turbo Subaru lately?
Look here for Subarus:
And here for Caprices:
