What Changed

The Legacy line is simplified to be sedans only. All wagons are now Outback models. Legacy receives a new front fascia and grille for 2008. Steering wheel paddle shifters are standard on turbo and flat-6 models equipped with the automatic transmission. A new Legacy 3.0R with a 245-bhp flat-6 is now the top Legacy model. SI-DRIVE adjustable AWD is standard on all 6-cylinder models.
