family tree

My first suby was a 92 Legacy. Now I have a '98 Impreza. I have seen an
outback, an outback legacy, a Legacy an Impreza and an Impreza Legacy. My
question is, what makes a subaru a legacy? Just curious, I can't figure it
out.

thanks

No such thing as an Impreza Legacy. that's like saying a Camaro Impala (sort
of). Impreza is the small car, Legacy is the bigger car. Both come in wagons
and sedans. Outback-ing either one gives it a higher, tougher suspension
and I suppose some other things. Note that when a Legacy is outbacked it is
just called an Outback. When an Impreza is outbacked, it's called an Impreza
Outback. The Forrester is built on an Imprezza chassis, and is actually
slightly lower to the ground than an Outback wagon (7.3 vs. 7.9 in.).
