It's cool to know that Subaru (of Japan) hasn't forgot that everything in the "modern" Subaru era sprung from the first gen Legacy and it's new EJ series motors. If not for the flexability and solid engineering of those, I don't see Subaru being the success it is now.

Most folks here in the USofA will laugh and dismiss you if you try to speak of such though.

That was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Too bad they didn't exchange keys and take each others cars out for a spin. That's the cleanest legacy I have ever seen. I'm amazed subaru still cares about it's legacy.

I agree Jess, I doubt subaru would still be around had it not been for the legacy.

Thanks for the link, great ad. That BC looks black in some shots, but Indigo Blue Pearl in others. That has got to be one of the rarest colors.

Great ad. I only wish that Subaru would make the SS again, and the BRAT. I am glad they still care about how they started and the heritage.

They did make the brat again. Baja. It was epic fail. Usually when they remake a discontinued model they don't so it justice.

Only in the eyes of history was the BRAT not a failure. I believe that in 10 years the Baja will also no longer be a failure. (Well, maybe the yellow ones will still fail)

On the ohter hand, the Tribeca.......

The Tribeca next generation is to be sold with a Toyota engine. Basically toyota will be using the Subaru shell, and putting their stuff in it and selling it as a Toyota minivan.
