“Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.”
- A quote from author and professional speaker, Stephen Covey
We believe this quote sums up Subaru of America's philosophy to a tee. Subaru owners are known for living life to the fullest and love to share their interests with others. Subaru is a company that celebrates life everyday - you only have to look at their Subaru Badges to find each Subaru driver's favorite lifestyle and hobby.
What's life without love?
The second word in Covey's quote aligns so well with Subaru's philosophy, it
shares a reciprocal feeling in Subaru's slogan, Love, It's What Makes A Subaru,
A Subaru. And who can't resist a good laugh at Subaru's commercials following
the four-legged, sedan-driving Barkley family? And then there's Legacy.
That last word Covey mentions. What is a legacy? Legacy can be described as
something that has been handed down from one generation to the next. Well,
Subaru has that covered as well.
The Subaru Legacy was first
introduced in 1989. While the midsize-sedan may not be Subaru's highest selling
model (well behind Subaru's SUV & CUV line-up; the Subaru Outback, SubaruForester, and Subaru XV Crosstrek), the Subaru Legacy has been a major staple
in Subaru's portfolio for more than a
quarter century - with great success we might add. 96% of Legacy models
sold in the past 10 years are still on the road!

If you follow our blog, then
you may be aware that we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 2015 Subaru
Legacy. The 2015 Legacy will mark the sixth generation of the car. The Legacy
has been completely redesigned and offers a compelling blend of standout design,
interior refinement, safety technology and higher fuel efficiency.
If we could, we would love
to give the engineers over at Subaru a fist bump. Because, while we might not
have the Legacy yet at our Broken Arrow dealership, several industry leading
vehicle review critics have had the opportunity of test driving the midsized
sedan. And the consensus is coming in as expected - high praises all.
KBB - "The Legacy has
always earned accolades for its sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, but now
it's hardly a one-trick pony -- it's a real contender among midsize
sedans." [1]
Autoblog.com -
"....those would-be Camry buyers with a taste for something a little more
unique will end up owning what we consider to be a better overall car." [2]
Autoweek - "Smooth,
capable and fairly quick in 3.6-liter trim, the Legacy is now as mainstream as
the rest of the midsize-sedan segment. Bundle that with the famous Subaru
all-wheel drive and decent fuel economy, and the Legacy now has a chance to
expand past its Northwest and New England enclaves." [3]

radar detection to assist the driver by detecting vehicles on either side of
the vehicle that may be in the driver’s blind spots.
The new Subaru Legacy will
be built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Plant in Lafayette, Indiana . The
Indiana assembly plant uses an environmentally-friendly plant process and is
recognized as a zero landfill facility. It's the only U.S. automotive plant designated
