Fuji Heavy Industries has announced that it has developed a new automatic braking management system to stop vehicles and prevent collisions.

The new "EyeSight" automatic braking technology will be installed in redesigned Subaru Legacy vehicles to be released in mid-May.

The new system uses two dedicated cameras installed on both sides of the rearview mirror which can detect cars and other obstacles in front of the vehicle and measure the distance. If the system judges that there is a risk of a collision, an alarm and monitor warning will alert the driver. Furthermore, in case the driver fails to take any action to avoid an accident, the braking system will slow down and stop the vehicle automatically.

Dear all,

After being bugged with a facebook connect script bug, 5GLegacy was down for more than 6 months. I was unable to find the problem, and i had trouble restoring the site to its current state without losing the data that was already in it.

After a total of 70 hours, I've finally restored 5GLegacy.com.

We're grateful to all the patience shown to us by everyone here.

Welcome back to the new community.

Subaru of America today announced the EPA fuel economy results for 2010MY Legacy. The 2010 All-Wheel Drive Legacy achieves up to 26 mpg combined and 31 mpg highway, despite having grown in size in almost every dimension.

Specifically, the Legacy 2.5i CVT now exhibits better fuel economy (EPA combined) than such Front-Wheel competitors such as Honda Accord, Mazda6i, VW Passat and Hyundai Sonata. Furthermore, the new Legacy is now the highest rated midsize AWD sedan (EPA combined) in the U.S. market for 2010MY.

Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and CMO of Subaru of America said, "We are thrilled that the all-new 2010 Legacy not only offers more space and a more rewarding drive than the competition, but it also delivers better fuel economy at a very competitive price."

The Subaru Legacy comes with Subaru's legendary Boxer engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, quick-ratio steering and a new double-wishbone suspension system. The 2010 Legacy has an entry-lev...

For 2010, the Subaru Legacy is redesigned into its fifth generation, built on an all-new platform with longer wheelbase, new and revised engines, available CVT, increased interior space, new design, and new features, including an optional voice-activated navigation system, and standard vehicle stability control on all models. While a wagon was part of the lineup for 2009, the 2010 is a sedan only.

Three engines are available, all of them horizontal "boxer" configuration: a 170-horsepower 2.5-litre four-cylinder in the 2.5i, 265-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder in the 2.5GT, and a 256-horsepower 3.6-litre six-cylinder in the 3.6R. The 2.5i is also available as a PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle), which reduces emissions by as much as 90 per cent compared with a conventional vehicle. The 2.5i uses a six-speed manual transmission or availabl...

Subaru says its redesigned Legacy, with a more spacious interior and a starting price under $21,000, finally can compete in the tough midsize sedan segment.

"Legacy is now a proper-sized midsized sedan, and it will be successful," says Tom Doll, COO of Subaru of America. "We had to put this car in a competitive position."

Subaru unveiled the 2010 Legacy and the Outback crossover at the New York auto show in April. The sister vehicles, which go on sale this summer, have 4 inches more rear legroom than the current models.
Like all U.S. Subaru models, the new Legacy has standard all-wheel drive. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder version starts at $20,640 including shipping--$800 less than the current model. Doll says the price reflects Subaru's attempt to position vehicles closer to transaction prices as they are replaced or face-lifted.

The Legacy is priced $975 below the base Honda Accord LX, which does not have AWD.

The Outback, which sits on ...
