After more than three and a half decades on the road, Subaru has assembled the last Legacy sedan it intends to build. Across its long life the nameplate sold close to 1.4 million units, a solid run for a car that quietly earned loyalty among drivers who prized all-wheel-drive dependability over flash.
Its retirement is less a shock than a sign of the times. Buyers keep migrating toward crossovers and SUVs, leaving traditional sedans struggling to justify shelf space. Subaru is simply following the market, even if longtime fans will miss the understated four-door.
