Agreed!

I had a very interesting conversation once with the owner of a 2001
Legacy GT wagon. This guy SWORE his car was totally different than my
'01 OBW. We had identical owner's manuals in our respective gloveboxes.

Yes - it's very confusing. The title says Legacy - that's how it
punched up when they put the VIN in at the dealer. But the car says
Legacy on it nowhere.

So....do I look under "Legacy Products" or "Outback Products"?

Yeah, I ran into this same issue at a place that was doing my
alignment. Alignment done, drove off, car was just not right... turns
out the tech set up angles for the first Outback looking thing he
found on his computer's list (Outback Sport) vs going under the
Legacy menu to find the flavor of Outback.

Got it right the 2nd time finally.

Both.

Some things show up both places, some in one or the other. There are few
(if any) pieces that are only specific to the Outback. If you aren't
sure, email the vendor or use the provided form on some sites.
http://www.subaruparts.com/parts.php is one of those.

Hi all. I just got a pre-owned 2003 Subaru wagon. I am confused as to
whether it's a regular Outback or a Legacy Outback, however. The
TITLE and dealership I bought it from say it's a Legacy Outback. When
they punched up the VIN for the title, it stated it's a Legacy. But
shouldn't there be a "LEGACY" namebadge on the exterior of the car on
the back? There isn't - all it says is OUTBACK on the back hatch.

It's got the winter package (heated seats, side mirrors and wiper
blades), single CD player, no sun/moonroof, cloth seats (no leather),
and wood grain console trim. I see no mention on the car itself of
LEGACY.

I'd like to know what I got, as I want to order some accessories, and
you have to choose what vehicle you need parts for, and some places
have both Legacy and Outback when I got to 2003 Outback section.

There are TWO Outback lines, one's the Outback based on the Legacy
(full-size) and the Outback Sport based on the Imprezza compact.

Both are just trim/option packages.

The bright bulbs in marketing could have called one Outback and
another Outfront or Outsmart or something to disambiguate
