I’m pretty sure that these are the first non-show, non-media pictures of Subaru’s new 2010 Legacy. And just look at those pictures*… More details and hi-res when you click…
You’ve seen the BMW mini-site, you kind of know the details. Here is my quick take on the vehicle, having seen it in person. E30 M3 owners and other M-faithful, fasten your seat belts.
I have to admit, I had some pre-conceived notions about Mazda’s current rotary ship. First there was the media-blitz about them not making the HP figures they were advertised with, then of course there is the big fat question mark of how you can classify this car?

French cars; some say they’re ugly, some say they’re beautiful, all agree that they’re unreliable. However, there is something about them that makes you want to look. These pictures were taken in March of 2007, my wife’s and mine last trip …
