err, is it just me, or the Outback looks really strange?

tsaka the rims. They look bland on the Legacy. i hope they change that for the PH market

No disrespect to anyone, but except for the badge, it kinda looks like any Kia or a Hyundai from 8 years ago. The aesthetics are well... meh.

Oh I get it... that's why they call it the Legacy. :P

I know, mukhang baduy yung new look pero mga functions nito ay not bad. Plus, the CVT transmission is quite good. Oh and by the way, their lineups have 2.5 litre engines and the outback only has the 3.6 litre boxer 6 engine.

If you want to enjoy the new Legacy, watch this Japanese commercial:

I hope the new Legacy will have a much improved interior space. The previous generation was ok but the rear legroom of the Outback was really tiny and even smaller than even the Corolla's.
