What is this thing?

A. An exercise in bad taste.

B. An exercise in dealer mark up.

C. An attempt to make a Subaru look like a Buick Century.

D. An attempt to make Subaru's appealing to grey haired grannies.

E. All of the above.

at least it does not have questionable rims or a huge spoiler on the trunk.

it could be great fun to buy, strip the top, and then dump a full on STi drivetrain and suspension into it

Keep the cloth top, gives it added sleeper cred!

I think this is the first Subaru I've seen with a landau roof.

I'm not saying I've seen them everywhere, but I've seen a decent number of that generation Legacy's with cloth roofs. Not sure if it was a factory option or dealer installed, but it was definitely readily available.

Who wants to bet the roof looks something like this under all that vinyl?

/Landau roofs suck.

Dollars to doughnuts this car was first sold in Florida. Florida dealers will put a "carriage roof" on ANYTHING.

as you approach from the rear, it looks like you are coming up to a later Chrysler K car variant... then after you pass it you get confused when you see what looks like a 90's Buick Century in your mirror..

Subaru did import a handful of Legacy Turbos to the States in the early 90s.

Swap drivetrain into the granny special, install a black-painted FMIC so you don't need the hood scoop and give the game away, and voila! Instant sleeper!

Oh man, why would anyone do that to a poor, innocent Legacy sedan?
