First Look: Subaru EXIGA Concept I currently own a '00 Legacy wagon. Unlike all the rest of Subaru's offerings, Legacys have blessedly never been given the gift of 'Subaru ugly'. IMO, the pinnacle of factory sports wagon (in the bang/$ category) was the '07 Legacy Turbo Wagon. Apparently having such a sharp sports wagon was too much for Subaru mgmt who promptly made all '08 Legacys sedans and all '08 Outback wagons. If it's working, break it. Unbelievable incompetence. Exiga: Better than no Subaru sports wagon at all, but I would strongly suggest : a) add 1" of lift at rear axel, b) drop roof above driver by 1"-2", c) rake front windshield back & adjust front seat mounts down, accordingly, for b), d) try to compress the front-end cross-sectional-height down by 1"-2" (otherwise, relative to b)->d), this thing looks too much like the cross section of a Forrester...) e) toss out the red models rear end in favor of the silver's, (much better rear light & venting (even if it????????s pseudo) treatment) and redo front according to follow silver's rear. f) install a 3.0 Turbo, and g) bump f/r rubber width accordingly... ...And maybe the Exiga will be my next sports wagon. As it is, Audi, BMW, VW, Volvo and even BUICK (!! via the Holden Zeta) are looking a viable alternatives for the sports wagon market that Subaru has tossed into the trash of unwanted corporate profit.
