I, too, was taken by the new Legacy when it was released and made me change my mind at the last minute from buying another car. But the car I was considering was completely different from your other choice: a Hyundai Genesis Coupe. That should tell you something. Get the Legacy if you want a more sport-oriented executive sedan. The Accord should appeal to those looking for more luxury/amenities over driving performance. Even so, I still think the Legacy is the better pick as long as you don't live too far from MotorImage/Subaru.
