The 2010 Subaru Legacy will start at $20,690, including a $695 destination charge, when it arrives in showrooms here in August. That is $770 less than the base 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5i, which started at $21,460, including a $665 destination charge.
The $20,690 price is for the 2010 Legacy 2.5i equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. Base models equipped with the optional continuously variable transmission (CVT) will start at $21,690, including shipping.
The new 2010 Subaru Legacy 3.6R model, which replaces the 3.0R model, will start at $25,690, including shipping. A top-of-the-line 2010 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited model will start at $28,690, including shipping.
Options on the 2010 Legacy include a $995 power moonroof, a $2,000 Navigation System package that bundles such items as Bluetooth and a back-up camera, and a $500 All-Weather package, which includes heated front seats, a windshield wiper de-icer and heated exterior mirrors.
The redesigned 2010 Legacy gets a longer wheelbase and a new powertrain lineup with a new CVT.
Inside Line says: Subaru takes the conservative route when it comes to pricing the 2010 Legacy — looks like a smart move, given that the recession is predicted to continue at least through the end of the year. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
