2008 Subaru Outback Preview
What it Matters
 

For 2008, the Outback and Legacy continue their separation into two distinct models by offering only one body style each. The Outback is now only available as a wagon, while the Legacy is only a sedan. While we doubt that the goofy-looking Outback sedan will be missed, the Legacy GT wagon might be. An Outback is separated from the Legacy by its big fog lights, raised stance and lower body cladding, intended to appeal to SUV buyers. While the current Outback tones this theme down considerably compared to its predecessors, the high-riding stance may throw off buyers who want a small wagon without the Outback’s styling gimmicks. But what about cabin space, long the bugaboo of Outbacks? That’s an issue that won’t be addressed until a thorough revision arrives.
