As I noted in the previous about the 2015 Subaru WRX, it appears that this Japanese automaker is taking a more sophisticated route. Back at the 2013 New York Auto Show, to me there was one vehicle that stood head and shoulders above the competition.

It was the Subaru WRX Concept.

Sporting a hypnotizing bright blue paint job and wearing some VERY interesting neon green contrasting elements, it was a sharp sedan that looked very coupe-like. Of course now that we've seen the production version of the 2015 WRX, we can't help but be disappointed. The 2015 WRX looks more like a Civic than the out-of-this-world concept.

But, don't lose hope. That's because Subaru brought forth another concept at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. That would be the all-new Legacy Concept. And, what do you know, its shape looks VERY similar to the WRX Concept.

Looking at both cars back-to-back, it seems to me that the head honchos figured that it should save its more sensual look for the "flagship" product to compete with the likes of the gorgeous Ford Fusion and dynamic looking Mazda 6.

Of course this assumes that Subaru doesn't bail out on a good thing like it did with the WRX concept.

What say you, Spies? Did Subaru pull the 'ol switcharoo here once it received such POSITIVE feedback at the New York Show?


Subaru's press release follows:


2015 SUBARU LEGACY CONCEPT TO MAKE WORLD DEBUT AT
LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW


Cherry Hill, N.J. -  Subaru of America, Inc. announced today it will debut the Subaru LEGACY CONCEPT at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new LEGACY CONCEPT celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Subaru Legacy and provides a look at the styling cues for future Legacy models.

Adorned with a custom Ocean Silver Metallic paint scheme, the LEGACY CONCEPT features a more coupe-like silhouette. The LEGACY CONCEPT is a modern interpretation of the Legacy and features a more distinguished front design with a new hexagonal grille and a sharper hawk-eye headlamp design.

Flared wheel arches cover 21-inch wheels and hint at the standard Subaru Symmetrical all-wheel drive drivetrain. A pronounced character line flows into the short rear deck and ends in the rear tail lamps. The tail lamps echo the hawk-eye headlamp design and enhance the solidity of the overall design.
