    "The main difference is that the 2010 Legacy's front reinforcement bar is a little taller, more than 6 inches wider, and more than 1½ inches higher off the ground. This kept the Legacy's bumper engaged with the barrier during the test, preventing it from sliding under the barrier. "

    So basically, as long as you hit just like the IIHS says you should hit, it will cost you $3,000 less now. However, if you hit any other way, you're screwed all over again. #subarulegacy

    They've also managed, much to everyone's surprise, to move the front end of the Legacy from "kinda f'ed up" to "completely awkward and fugly". #subarulegacy

    @Detroit Velvet Smooth aka Panzerwagon: The new Legacy makes a Kia look like it belongs in MOMA.

    It is quite possible the most awkwardly disjointed design in decades. And those aren't flattering decades either. #subarulegacy

    I've seen more Alfa-Romeos in LeMons than I have on the road. In my lifetime.

    (Keep in mind that I was born during G.H.W. Bush's presidency, and that's probably why.)

    @MushyHeirloom: Same for me. There used to be people who lived around the corner from me who had an Alfa sedan, and there are a couple Spyders, but other than that they are crazy rare. I think living in the States has something to do with this, too.

    @MushyHeirloom: There are several nice late-model Spyders around here. I saw a really well-kept Milano on the road a few weeks back and managed to resist the urge to follow it so I could shake the owner's hand.

    @MushyHeirloom: I'm pretty sure I've never seen a roadgoing Citroen in the flesh. A few Renaults and Peugeots used to be around, but those are crazy rare nowadays. There is this place near me that has a gaggle of Merkurs, both Scorpios and XR4Tis. It's tough to tell from the road, but it appears there are at least 6 of them, and I've only ever seen 2 cars running from that place. Sounds like the appropriate ratio.

    @ferric oxide: I was wondering the very same thing. Maybe it got some token number of BS laps and made them up? Maybe the team had a really good bribe? Perhaps the Saucy Minx™ will tell us in her own sweet time...

    What I'm seeing here is the Japanese equivalent of NASCAR. A car loosely based on a road car you can buy, but has nothing much in common with the car you see turning left (ok, these guys turn right, too) on Sunday.

    The only other thing this series probably has over NASCAR is that the technology used is closer to what modern road cars use. Therefore, the race cars can be used as test beds for future technology that they can adapt to road cars.

    Other than that, this is another advertising venue for STI, Motul, and Advan. Why do they have a medical TFT maker shown so prominently advertised on their sketches?

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: Indeed, if they were just shells with logos I'd imagine the NSX, FD, 996, etc. would have been replaced with something currently on the market.

    I don't see them in the current lineup, but for years after their respective EOL, SuperGT had Supras and Skylines.

    Of course, the fact that last decade's technology can compete with the new stuff means there is significant modification, just not to the extent that there's nothing to the badge.

    Given that a "legacy" is something you leave after you have passed, it doesn't seem to be a good name for a race car.
