hehe... I think we had the discussion about the GT before...
But it is interesting to actually hear from someone on the market specifically cross-shopping the two.

The quality of build has been improved significantly, and the overall look of the car is much better then my scoobie (although, I do like the geeky look of my scoob). And the AWD is a nice driving experience, especially on foul weather conditions. If anyone's owned or driven the previous legacy, they would probably agree on the most part.
But it isn't impressive when compared to near/entry lux sedans. The material still is cheap, and not everything looks fit and finish compared to a TSX, 3 series, A4 or G35.

If I wanted a fast car, I'd get the SRT-4 in a heartbeat. Luckily, I want something more than just speed so the TSX really fits my needs well.

Probably like the SRT-4. Inline 4. Split exhaust. Can't be that much different unless the firing happens at different times (which I doubt). Someone want to knock their mufflers off?

So the TSX should be even louder...

Hmm...
I've been messing with the pricing on the Subaru Canada website, and with same money down on a leased LGT that I put down on my TSX, it comes out $200 more per month plus tax for a car that is supposed to be only 2k more.
Even with a 4.8% lease rate. The only difference is that they will only do a 36 month term vs 48, but even then it is almost $200 more.

Knowing Scoobies, the residual is probably teh sux. Although, the Outbacks did fairly better then their legacy counterparts in the previous models.

Perhaps the resid is the answer, they don't give that value online...
With $2500 down, it is $632/month, paying a total lease obligation of $25,285. So the buyout after 36 months would only $11k.
Damn depreciation.

Total lease obligation of $25,285...
The total cost of the car is only a few thousand more than that. Add the tax, title, and license and the price still doesn't come up to more than say $5k more. That's just ridiculous that it depreciates that quickly.

Damn you 
You guys really have to make it clear that you're talking about CND$ when you post.
Why can't the Canadians get their own symbol for money like the British? It would make things a lot easier on the board.
But anyway...even with $25k+ as the total lease obligation, that's an awful lot. My TSX has about a $18k lease obligation over 4 years in US dollars. That's a whole lot less than the LGT for even 3 years.
Still a lame lease deal. This is why you never lease anything other than a Honda or Toyota.

I think the comparo is deffinately bias towards suby becuase i think they should have taken the non navi 6mt for comparo l. that would drop the car 2k since the suby didnt come with the navi.

I didn't even post in this thread. And yes, the LGT is worthy competition to the TSX. It caters to different values but it's still competition.

Dan, post 18 page 1. NooB
I'm not even so certain its direct competition (at least not in Canada) but its not a bad car. And fdl comapring it to a SRT-4 just shows what a big NooB he is
