Subaru Legacy Concept first view

The current Subaru Legacy might be very capable, but it’s not exactly handsome. However, that situation would quickly change if this latest Legacy Concept makes it into production relatively unmolested.

In a major departure from previous models, the dramatically sloping roofline gives the car a coupé-like profile. Large wheels, subtly flared arches and a prominent hexagonal grille meanwhile help to create a purposeful stance.
