Transformation Tuesday: The Subaru Legacy

For our own version of "Transformation Tuesday", we've decided to do a few then-and-now features of Subaru models. First up is the Subaru Legacy, which has come an enormously long way since its introduction in 1989 - just look at the photo! Even passenger airbags weren't standard in the original Legacy; those came in 1995 with the Legacy's second generation.

Now, the Subaru Legacy has a slew of safety features (to go with its convenience and entertainment features) including:

• EyeSight Driver Assist system (monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control and gives lane-departure warning)
• Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
• Smart braking system
• Vehicle dynamics control (Subaru's Vehicle Dynamics Control)
• Advanced protection system (this includes Subaru's extensive airbag inventory as well as its successful frame)

We don't have any of the former models around just now, but we do have the new one -- check out our 2014 Subaru Legacy overview here! And stay tuned for more of our "Transformation Tuesday" posts!
