2010 Subaru Legacy Priced from $19,995: Up to $1,600 Less than '09 Models

As a rule, new models usually enter the market priced higher than their predecessors, but blame the faulty economy and Subaru decided to charge less for its brand-new 2010 Legacy. More specifically, the entry-level 2.5i version is priced from $19,995 or $800 less than the equivalent MY09 Legacy 2.5i while the range-topping 3.6R starts from $24,995, a $1,600 reduction over the less powerful outgoing 3.0R. Note however that all prices don't include a $695 destination and delivery fee.

The base 2.5i Legacy that's powered by a 2.5-liter normally aspirated four-cylinder boxer with 170HP and mated with either a 6-speed manual transmission ($19,995) or the all-new Lineartronic CVT ($20,995) comes with electronic parking brake with Hill Holder system, auto on/off exterior lights, audio system with single-disc CD player, auxiliary input jack and 4 speakers and remote keyless entry system as standard.

The better equipped 2.5i Premium that costs $20,995 when combined with a manual gearbox and $21,995 with a CVT, adds 10-way power driver's seat, driver's side window w/automatic up and down, leather-wrapped steering wheel, instrument storage bin w/door, overhead console with sunglass holder and ambient light, bright exhaust tip, body-colored mirrors and 16" alloys wheels.

The new Legacy 2.5GT Premium and Limited that are powered by a 265HP turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine mated to a new 6-speed manual gearbox, are priced at $27,995 and $29,995 respectively.

The 2.5 GT Limited adds perforated ivory / off black leather-trimmed upholstery, 4-way power front passenger seat, and Harman/Kardon audio system.

The range-topping Legacy 3.6R, which replaces the 3.0R model, is powered by a 256HP 3.6-liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine matched to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
