blogentry-133713-0-82206000-1420945302_thumb.jpgPainted in 'Premium Red', which is in the same shade as the original, the new Legacy looks much more muscular with upgrades to the exterior. It gains new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and the signature rear boot spoiler. It also wears new 19-inch alloy rims wrapped with 245/40R19 Bridgestone Potenza tyres.

blogentry-133713-0-20878900-1420945281_thumb.jpgNothing has been changed mechanically for this concept. This means the concept runs a non-turbocharged 2.5-litre boxer engine outputting 170bhp and 235Nm of torque which is a far cry from what the original Legacy B4 Blitzen (276bhp and 320Nm of torque) had. Let's hope Subaru does do a properly souped one in the future!

Dear Carmakers,

 

Stop making aggressive-looking variants with wings, bodykits and bigger wheels that have zero enhancements to their performance (power, braking and/or handling). Doing so just makes you a bunch of cockteasers.

Subaru has fallen far with this car. All show and no go. Sheesh. A lot like the BRZ (=FT86, but the blame for that can be laid at Toyota's doorstep), but at least that could handle even if it wasn't quick.

I'm pretty sure this will look good in ICED Premium Red. But how much of this will go into actual production? Also, at 176bhp, it really is a laughing stock (pun intended), there are already many laughing "stock" Subarus - the RS2.0 comes to mind.

  • 10 sweet wedding songs

    Two months ago, I listed 10 songs that had no business being played at a wedding. Many were about the inability to move on after a breakup or worse: Songs sung from the perspective of a third party! So, this time around, it's time to highlight 10 songs that can be played on the first day of a couple's married life. 10) All Of You - Julio Iglesias & Diana Ross This song is clearly about someone who wants everything that the love of their life has to offer. It is well
