subarudreamer 2nd Gear March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 2.5l at <140,000? not too bad. that's a surprise if they are pricing it at cheaper than the forester turbo. legacy probably has higher safety ratings than camry.

In Singapore it's hard to convince buyers choose Subaru over Toyota, unless there is significant price diff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 2.0 TC is the best. 2.5T heavy on tax and FC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 http://www.subaru.asia/sg/en/vehicles/legacy/15my/?pg=lineup Look at the lineup.... 2.5L and 3.6L NA. It's no wonder they called themselves a niche brand. Any 1.6L TC can produce the same torque and power as the 2.5L NA. Ppl pay lower road tax somemore. You look at those Teana or Accord 3.5L NA, who will buy? Resale sell cheap also nobody buy coz of the high road tax. Difficult to sell. Ppl here first choice Toyota, Nissan and Honda. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holdenutessv Turbocharged March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 US is only getting the 2.5 and 3.6 NA. No sign of the 2.5T and 2.0DIT... Same goes for their JP site, only 2.5NA listed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

subarudreamer 2nd Gear March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 that's only available on forester and wrx. it is clear that legacy and outback will have one and only one engine, the 2.5l NA one. 2.0l turbo would have been good on legacy, not sure why they r not doing it. they prob would sell 2.0l turbo at closer to 150k but still alright. too bad, no such combi avail. 250bhp 350-400Nm is such a sweet spot for any "street car" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronlkl Supersonic March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 No TURBO no buy! I'll keep my old Subaru for now, thanks. Bro, u should keep ur LGT alive. There are many interest out there for this car. Not a prob to find buyers if u wanna sell in future. subaru design had gone downhill for the last 5 years Subaru design went terribly wrong since 2008. Their designers just woke up recently. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarudreamer 2nd Gear March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 btw, SE told me prices are: legacy (137,800) and outback (142,800). these are pre launch prices and will be raised by 5k each upon launch (i don't know when, maybe 1st april?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru design went terribly wrong since 2008. Their designers just woke up recently. Its not without its share of issues but overall very reliable. I will keep it till COE end, for reasons of cost if anything. Lots of them on sale at SGcarmart. I think the BL/BP was the best selling Legacy of all time in Singapore? The hatch STi, not brilliant but I find still ok. Everything else since then sucked eggs. The recent Impreza/Rex ok, but not sensational. The 1st 4 gen of Legacy, I liked them all. By 5th gen... bleah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMV only 18k? typically for a 140k Japanese car, the OMV should be at least over 25k Engine is 2.5 NA or 2.0T? if 2.5 NA, rather go for new Camry 2.0, AWD high FC, but no use in Singapore You know when is the new Camry coming out already? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
