Highly Anticipated 2015 Subaru Legacy Gets Great Reviews

“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!

2015 Subaru Legacy

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]

2015 Subaru Legacy

The 2015 Subaru Legacy will come in 4 trim levels. The 2015 Legacy 2.5i with an MSRP price at $21,695, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i Premium with an MSRP price at $23,495, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i Limited with an MSRP price at $26,495, and the flagship of the sedan line-up, the 2015 Legacy 3.6R Limited with a MSRP price starting at $29,595.

Models with the 4-cylinder engine are estimated to get up to 36 mpg, while the 6-cylinder models have an EPA estimated 29 mpg.

The 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i comes standard with Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with manual mode and paddle shift control switches and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2.5 liter Boxer engine has increased to 175 horsepower.

The Legacy 2.5i Premium offers the industry’s leading driver assist technology, Subaru Eyesight®, and also adds Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Lane Change Assist (LCA.) It uses 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 as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

Ferguson Subaru is expected to get the 2015 Subaru Legacy this summer

Subaru Launch Control | Subaru Rally America

Rally, not to be mistaken with Rallycross, is a sport that dates back to 1911. It's a sport that combines the fastest, most high-tech sports cars with the most dare-devil, highly-trained professional drivers and throws them on the most parallel of courses. Rally stages vary from asphalt mountain passes to rough forest tracks, from ice and snow to desert sand. Rallycross, on the other hand, races on a closed mixed-surface racing circuit.

Subaru Rally Driver, David Higgins, at Sno*Drift

The top rally team in America is Subaru Rally Team USA. Subaru Rally Team USA has won three Rally American Championships in a row, including the 2013 Championship. Winning just one rally Championship is a major feat-in-and-of itself. A feat that takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. There are a lot of races in one rally season, each one pushing the drivers to their limits and testing their car's performance and reliability. Behind the excitement of the races, there's a lot that goes into making a championship rally team. Thanks to Subaru's web series, Launch Control, rally fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes Subaru's rally team's success possible.

Last season pushed the Subaru team to the limits. Driving, David Higgins, and co-driver, Craig Drew overcame personal injuries, mechanic break-downs, and stiff competition for the hardest fought victory of their career. Top spot during the season was neck-and-neck going into the championship race. The decisive victory came down to the last day, down to the last few hours. If you missed the first season's episodes, you can check out season 1 of Launch Control here.

Now, Higgins and the Subaru rally crew are back at work. The 2014 American Rally season is under way. Season two of launch control has already been full of surprises and held no shortage of rally action. Higgins has already claimed victory at the opening round, and Travis Pastrana has rejoined the Subaru rally team after a stint in NASCAR. You can watch as Pastrana, Higgins and the rest of the Subaru rally crew compete to make rally history, in season 2 of launch control. You can watch every episode as they are released at Ferguson Subaru.com.

The vehicle that helped Subaru Rally win 3 consecutive championships, the Subaru WRX STi, has proven its performance and reliability. Launch Control viewers will soon be able to see the next evolution of the Subaru Rally and Subaru Rallycross car.
The 2015 Subaru WRX STi will soon replace the 2014 WRX STi.

2015 Rallycross WRX STi was debuted at the 2014 New York Auto Show.

The 2015 Rallycross STI was prepared by Vermont SportsCar, home of Subaru Rally Team USA. External design cues include a custom widebody, an STI wing integrated with carbon fiber aerodynamic enhancements, and a classic rally car-style roof ventilation scoop. The 2015 Rallycross STI will feature a 600HP turbocharged Subaru boxer engine mated to a sequential gearbox with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2015 Rallycross STI will also feature an advanced rally-spec suspension. The car rides on Method Race Wheels, wrapped with the new Yokohama GRC spec competition tire.

The 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STi were both recently awarded an Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) 2014 TOP SAFETY PICK award for good performance in each of the Institute’s crashworthiness evaluations, including the small overlap front test.

5th Annual Bark Walk

According to The Humane Society of the United States, "An estimated 2.7 million healthy shelter pets are not adopted each year, and only about 30 percent of pets in homes come from shelters or rescues." [1]

We love our pets here at Ferguson Subaru. Both our Subaru showroom and Subaru service department are pet-friendly facilities. Being the animal lovers we are, it hurts to hear statistics such as the one above. We believe in fighting for those without a voice. Animal rescue and animal cruelty awareness are two major pillars in our company's identity. Lucky for us, our dealership has a brand that is equally committed to animal rescue. Subaru of America has been a long time partner of the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The ASPCA is the leading animal welfare organization in the North America. That's why we are proud to work with local organizations like the Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma.

The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer ran organization committed to rescuing unwanted and abandoned purebred Boxers in the state of Oklahoma (and surrounding areas) and placing them in a safe, responsible, loving, and permanent home. For the past five years The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma has held their annual Bark Walk. Ferguson Subaru has be a proud sponsor of the Bark Walk for 4 years.

The 5th Annual Bark Walk was held this past weekend! This fun-filled family fundraiser features a 1 mile walk through the beautiful Washington Irving Park in Bixby. Funds raised during the Bark Walk help save the lives of homeless animals and help promote animal welfare in your community. Every year, dozens of homeless animals are adopted during the Bark Walk as well. Shelters from across Green Country bring loving animals available for adoption.

We had a blast at this year's 2014 Bark Walk. Check out photos from the event:

Today is National Animal Advocacy Day. Help support animal rescue in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Sapulpa, and the surrounding area. We encourage you to adopt your next four-legged companion. Two great animal welfare organizations Ferguson Subaru has worked with include the Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma and the Tulsa SPCA.

2015 Subaru Outback Released

Subaru claims the Outback is the world's first sport/utility wagon. It's grown to become the vehicle-of-choice for adventure-loving, trail climbing, nature-packing, outdoor enthusiast. It's been the best-selling All-Wheel Drive car in America for the past five years. And if, love is what makes a Subaru, a Subaru; then the tradition of the Subaru Outback has truly left its heart-felt mark on American drivers. But, as the famous author Pearl S. Buck wrote, "Love dies only when growth stops." Subaru has just given us more to love with release of the new-generation Outback. The '15 Subaru Outback was recently during the 2014 Subaru New York Auto Show.

The original Outback established a template for many competitive crossover models that followed, and the new-generation 2015 Outback exemplifies Subaru’s mastery of outdoors-oriented vehicle engineering and further strengthens the melding of passenger- car and SUV attributes that crossover shoppers seek.

The all-new Outback was designed from the ground-up to enable adventures and spark spontaneity. The new 2015 Subaru Outback allows drivers to go even bigger, climb even steeper, and roam even farther! Its bold new design delivers an even more compelling blend of on-road agility, off-pavement control, ride comfort, interior refinement and safety technology.

Some of the redesigned features on the new 2015 Subaru Outback include:

• A completely redesigned, slightly larger chassis, exterior and interior design (most roomiest Outback ever)
• More sporty, more sleek, off-road ability and look
• A new front fascia that combines the hexagonal grille and bumper into one smooth piece 
• Hawk-eye LED head lights and tail lights 
• A thinner underbelly cladding that creates a sleeker look, but still prevents paint chipping when going off-road 
• A steeper windshield and a slimmer A-pillar to aerodynamics and increase fuel efficiency
• An all-new, surprisingly spacious 143.6 cubic foot interior with upgraded materials for passenger comfort  
• A new retractable roof cross bars and new tie-downs that now slide back and forth, to accommodate larger and smaller items including bikes, canoes, and kayaks 
• Improved fuel economy at the top of AWD crossover class with estimated ratings of 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway for Outback 2.5i 
• Lineartronic CVT now standard on all models
• New available Rear Vehicle Detection System featuring Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert  

Two other features worth noting on the new Subaru Outback include: enhanced capability on the Outback's legendary Subaru Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel with X-Mode, and newly enhanced Safety features with Subaru's Eyesight.

Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive gives you exceptional traction in any environment or road condition. X-Mode with Hill Descent Control can be activated with the push of a button. It takes control of the AWD, transmission, engine, brakes, and other components to help safely navigate steep inclines and slippery surfaces to take your adventure that much further. The 2015 Outback's four-cylinder, 2.5-liter BOXER engine (or 3.6-liter, six-cylinder on the Limited model) increases power slightly from its predecessor, 175 hp vs. 173 hp as before.

The 2015 Outback offers the latest version of the EyeSight driver-assist system with an improved camera. Available for Outback Premium and Limited trim lines, EyeSight uses Subaru-developed stereo camera technology and integrates Vehicle Lane Departure Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Subaru's Eyesight was the highest-rated front crash prevention system by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

Surround yourself with the all-new Outback. It's the vehicle that makes your wildest excursions possible. The 2015 Outback arrives in Subaru dealerships this summer. Pre-order your new 2015 Subaru Outback today at Ferguson Subaru!

Unwrapping the new 2015 Subaru WRX STi

According to the Tulsa World, there has been 148 earthquakes recorded in the last 30 days, and a total of 47 earthquakes recorded in the last seven days alone! You could say Oklahoma is really shaking things up!  But there's more than just earthquakes creating ripples across Oklahoma.

We have some truly ground-breaking news here at Ferguson Subaru that’s sure to shake things up in the automotive industry; news that will appeal to any hot-rod, sports car enthusiast, or any fan of Subaru. We now have the 2015 Subaru WRX STi in stock at our Broken Arrow dealership! That's right you can now find the 2015 STi in the Tulsa Metro!

The new 2015 Subaru WRX STi, takes handling to a whole new level. With a completely remastered high-performance suspension, developed by STI racing engineers with the input of world-class drivers, the new WRX STi is the best performing STi ever built. It features inverted dampers, struts, pillow ball mounts, and aluminum-alloy lower L-arms.

Subaru designers engineered the STi with razor-sharp response and reduced understeer with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with Active Torque Vectoring. The redesigned, stiffer unibody provides a solid feel and improved reflexes, while 0.96g of lateral acceleration means tremendous cornering force is always at the driver's command.

Packed with a turbocharger that works with a large-capacity intercooler to boost output and response, the all-new WRX STI gives you 305 horsepower and delivers 290 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels for intense acceleration.

Subaru also added a slew of new technology features not previously see on the STi, including: a backup camera and navigation system.

Ferguson Subaru is proud to be Tulsa's go to Subaru dealer! We're now pleased to offer the 2015 WRX STi to our Green Country customers. Check out more details about the new 2015 Subaru WRX STi by clicking here

Subaru Posts Record Breaking Sales Numbers

Last month, news broke that scientists had discovered "smoking-gun" proof that, 13.8 billion years ago, our universe was born in one massive expansion known as the Big Bang. Reminding us that our dear planet Earth, is but a tiny speck in our ever expanding universe. But even down here on our tiny rock, there's one auto company carving out an immense expansion of their own, with unbound possibilities. 

Fitting, that that company is an automaker named after a cluster of stars 424 light years away from Earth! Subaru of America announced recently, in a press release, that the company reported record sales numbers for March of 2014. How impressive is Subaru's current expansion? 

Subaru of America is on a run, with record breaking sales numbers. The company has had 28 consecutive months of increasing sales! Subaru of America also recorded a 21% increase in sales number from March 2013 to March 2014 (44,479 vehicles in March 2014 and 36,701 back in March of 2013)! And, SOA sold over 100,000 vehicles for the first quarter of 2014. Can you say shooting for the stars! 

Strong contributors to Subaru's success have been the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek and the 2014 Subaru Forester. The Subaru Forester is a two time winner of Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year Award. Subaru recently released the new 2015 Forester. Motor Trend has also praised the XV Crosstrek saying, "Subaru feels it has hit the nail on the head with the XV Crosstrek, and we agree. It's not a sports car by any means, but it is a sporty, capable, and fun CUV that will definitely fill a void in Subaru's lineup." -- Motor Trend (2013). 

In 1953 during the birth of Subaru, the first president of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., Kenji Kita, was quoted as saying, "If you're going to build a car, build a full-fledged car." It appears Subaru is continuing to deliver on this promise over 61 years later. Subaru of America's current president and chief operating officer, Thomas J. Doll expressed his feelings about the company's growth saying, “We are delighted to have once again delivered record results. 2014 looks already set to be our seventh year of consecutive sales growth, with more new product to come.” 

If you haven't test drove a Subaru yet, why not? There's a reason American drivers are flocking to these vehicles. And, there's even more optimism and excitement on the way, as Subaru prepares the release of the all-new 2015 Subaru Legacy sedan - arriving this summer.
