First Look: 2010 Subaru Legacy Sedan
2010 Subaru Legacy Sedan - 2009 New York Auto Show Debut - Automobile Magazine
Bigger, bolder, and more mainstream - yet still a Subaru.

New 2010 Legacy chases the market leaders

Subaru has been trying to carve out a place for itself in the thick of the profitable family-sedan marketplace for two decades, ever since the first Legacy rolled off the production line in September 1989. For 2010, the fifth-generation Legacy, which debuts at the 2009 New York Auto Show, looks like it has the potential to finally run with the big players: the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, the Mazda 6, the Nissan Altima, and domestics like the Ford Fusion and the Chevy Malibu.
