the Legend booty looks like an old maxima or Legend

Squirrel · Post by **Squirrel** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:27 am

I noticed this this other day, the Legacy Sedan tail lamps look like old Acura Legend tails). The Legend definitely looks more dated, but it's the same overall design. I have shown the 87-88 Legend, followed by the 89-90 Legend. Then I also noticed that the Legend also looks kinda like the early 90's Nissan Maximas. Any other cars out there like this?

I am borrowing this pic from PhyrraM, hope he doesn't mind

if you look close to the same era cars look the same

My point is that on all these cars, the lights are the full width of the tail. And the red portion makes up roughly 2/3rds of the lens height, the rest is either white or orange.

The Legacy rear is the most masculine though. That's what I say....

The legacy rear IMO just looks better, nicely rounded off and modern. Great design Subaru!

This looks like an opportune time to re-start the age old augment…

The pre-face rear is much better looking that the post-face.

Not to reopen the alleged can of worms... but I don't know what pre-face or post-face means. Did Subaru so some kind of appearance facelift in the middle of the SS model run?

All_talk · Post by **All_talk** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:46 pm

Yep, pre-face '89-'91, post '92-'94.

Here is a pic of the pre-face rear

And dont worry about opening the can... post-face sucks so they can eat the worms.

Pre-facelift looks ten years older than it really is. And the chrome bites. The headlights suck. Turbos don't even get different grills.

Post-facelift FTW!

I like post face rear end but I like the bumper from the pre face much better. The grill from the post face looks much better though and the headlights I hear put out more light.

I want a post face SS with a pre face bumper. The post face cars don't have that ugly legacy badge under the rear windows either.

Did the facelift coincide with the airbag/steering wheel upgrade? I hate that ugly non-airbag wheel. It looks like it would be comfortable for the 8-and-4 hand position though.

I love the chrome, it makes the car look classy and matches the side trim (which I like). Just replace the head lights with EDM's and you golden and they have the angled top and look more aggressive. The '91 SS does get its own one year only front bumper and hood/scoop, it’s the most exclusive gen 1 legacy. It also has the LSD rear diff and factory oil cooler that the post-face step children dont get.

'91 SS Rio Red 5MT is the best gen 1 Legacy... Na Na N-Na Na

Bahahaha that made me laugh. Although, I'm gonna have to say that a Pearl White '91 SS 5MT is just a bit cooler, but it's ok. Yours is right up there with it

...full of gasoline!

Pre-face looks more aggressive, post-face looks more bland. De-chroming is easy anyway. Zenki FTW!
