The revisions to the Legacy are pretty mild, and mostly serve to further divide the Legacy and Outback lines, even though they’re basically the same car. The departure of the wagon version is sad, but we think overall the styling revisions are a nice refresh for the line, and the addition of the 3.0 R trim at the top gives premium shoppers another reason to buy Subaru. All the way around, the 2008 Subaru Legacy represents a gentle nudge forward.
