Subaru celebrates the Legacy nameplate with a new concept

As the date to the auto show in continental America draws near, more and more automakers are unveiling their goodies that we may expect in the city of Angels.

Joining the ranks is Subaru with its new Legacy Concept, which celebrates the 25^th Anniversary of the Subaru Legacy model. The concept also hints at styling cues for future Legacy models.

Adorned with a custom Ocean Silver Metallic paint scheme, the Legacy Concept features a more coupe-like silhouette - which mildly resembles the E63 BMW 6 Series from the front three quarters angle (above). The Legacy Concept is a modern interpretation of the Legacy and features a more distinguished front design with a new hexagonal grille and a sharper hawk-eye headlamp design.

Flared wheel arches cover 21-inch wheels and hint at the iconic Subaru Symmetrical all-wheel drive drivetrain. A pronounced character line flows into the short rear deck and ends in the rear tail lamps. The tail lamps echo the hawk-eye headlamp design and enhance the solidity of the overall design.
