    I've always been a big fan of the Legacy Touring Bruce special edition -- somehow, it was seen as a smart marketing move to commemorate an ad campaign with a station wagon.


    I mean, I'm on board, but that's absurd, even for Japan.

    I'd say a Western Star really would be big in Japan. You'd be running over parked keicars on both sides of the alleyway!

    I just can't quite get my head around why Diane Lane would be driving a Hino Cruising Ranger, which despite having a great name, is really just a box truck.

    Bruce Willis was so big in Japan that Subaru introduced a limited-edition Legacy named after him, called the Subaru Touring Bruce.


    Now if that isn't the most manly, badass car ever made, then I'll have been living a lie all these years.

    @bzr sells win-win cars in his native land of China: I though Bruce was the sole possession of Porsche. Search for Bruce on this website.

    @bzr sells win-win cars in his native land of China: I've heard Subaru of Australia is considering using that name for the Liberty (their Legacy), just to keep things simple.

    I don't know, I find the idea of Ray Charles shilling for any car other than a limousine, disturbing. Then again, I haven't watched the video yet.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Then check out THIS Peugeot ad. Ray is actually driving! In the middle of the Salt Flats though.

    @P161911 ready for another V-8 instead of the current all I-...: It is kind of like a mean joke. Although I think that I would still like to drive, even if I was blind, because so much of the experience comes from the "feeling."
