Yeah I'm not really sure how Subaru can afford to keep developing new generations of this.  If both GM and Chrysler have gotten out of this segment, plus Mazda (similar to Subaru size), you'd think that Subaru would follow suit.  I'm sure it's a decent car and likely competes fairly well with competitors, but likely has to be a net negative overall (as in they could have used that money in developing something that will sell more/higher price).

It helps that it shares most of its design and parts with the Outback.

Not digging that control screen. Crosstrek is going to have the same screen I assume.

The line-up was simplified for 2023. Not holding my breath for a next generation. For some reason we have two of these in fleet at the moment, both identical and blue like the one reviewed here.

Wonder if they sell more of them in QC for some reason.  That does seem strange that you've got two in the fleet there.

Maybe they ordered two thinking I would end up buying one of them  ;D

You could help them double their sales of the Legacy this year by doing so!  ;D

The 2nd car was up by mistake - it's in the Quebec city fleet.
