The Legacy continues to grow
A serious competitor for the road ahead
The 2008 Subaru Legacy is another clear step in the right direction for the manufacturer. It's more refined than ever and should merit very serious consideration from someone looking to drive a true performance-oriented sport sedan or sport wagon.

Subaru's symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive guarantees superior traction and handling.

Pricing begins at $26,995 (sedan) and $27,995 (wagon) for the Legacy 2.5i. The 2.5GT rings in at $40,295 (sedan) and $41,795 (wagon), while the very desirable Legacy 2.5GT Spec.B (available in sedan form only) costs $44,995.
