I still love my 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon and it will probably last a few more years and miles, but I’ve started thinking about a new car. The question many Subaru owners ready for a replacement have nowadays is “when will Subaru have a hybrid?” A concept vehicle was displayed in Detroit early last year. After Toyota, of the Prius, bought GM’s 8.7% stake in Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries, speculation pointed towards a hybrid 2008 Legacy using Toyota’s technologies. But Subaru has recently stated that they decided to first put their resources into a diesel engine, with those models expected to roll out next year. Subaru owners ready for an upgrade will have to decide whether they want to stick with that mid-20s mpg for another long Subaru lifetime.
