The Touring Wagons, which are he heaviest, are 200lbs lighter. Non turbo sedans are more like 500lb lighter, give or take.

05 Outback 2.5XT 5spd -- Now the wife can have her SUV and get in on the turbo Legacy goodness at the same time.

Just did a Google search... wasn't until after it was pulled from the US that they did the rebadging, though it was with Suzuki and Daihatsu, not Hyundai. Now I'm not sure how much I can trust my brain, because I was certain I read that in more than one place.
