Scooped: JDM 2010 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon

If the overly secretive teaser image of the JDM 2010 Subaru Legacy that is scheduled to be officially revealed in the Land of the Rising Sun on May 20th wasn't enough for you, Japan's Car Mode magazine has a full blown photo of the Touring Wagon version in its latest issue. Stylistically, the differences between U.S market 2010 Subaru Legacy that was unveiled in New York and the JDM model are limited to minor details like the prolonged air intakes at the corners of the front bumper and the redesigned exterior mirrors.

The Legacy Touring Wagon that is featured in these scoop photos is in effect an Outback stripped out of its 'crossoverish' doodads and plastic add-ons for a more conventional look. If you happen to prefer the simplicity of the Touring Wagon over the Outback then tough luck because while the Estate is scheduled for a European launch, Subaru has no plans of bringing it to the States.

Japanese-Spec 2010 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon Teased

In about a month's time, Subaru will proceed to the launch of the Japanese domestic market (JDM for short) version of the new Legacy that made its first global appearance at the New York Auto Show last week. For the time being, Subie has released a teaser shot of the JDM 2010 Legacy Touring Wagon which is essentially a USDM 2010 Outback without the raised ride height, roof rails and fancy-pansy plastic body cladding. Just for the record, the Legacy Touring Wagon will not be offered in the States.

From what we can tell by comparing the teaser photo of the JDM Legacy Touring Wagon to the US-spec Legacy, the Japanese version will also feature restyled exterior mirrors, a different headlight assembly and larger air intakes at the corners of the front bumper.

However, what we're all really interested in finding out is what will be hiding under the hood of the JDM Legacy and in particular, if Subaru will be revealing any details and photos on the STi versions of the sedan and estate variants of the model.

New 2010 Subaru Legacy Renderings

In a couple of weeks time, Subaru will end all guesswork for the 2010 Legacy with the unveiling of the model at the New York Auto Show. Still, this has not deterred Japanese car magazines such from continuing to release speculative renderings of the new Legacy even as we speak. In their latest issue, Carmode's artists have come up with a new set of CGIs for both the sedan and station wagon variants of the Legacy. As with all previous renderings, these too are based on the near-production Legacy concept that was shown in Detroit earlier this year.

2010 Subaru Legacy and Legacy Outback Artist's Impressions

In spite of the fact that the revealing of the close-to-production Legacy Concept at the 2009 Detroit Show in January hasn't left much to the imagination, nevertheless, Japan's Best Car rendering artists have attempted to tone down the design of the study to give us a more accurate view of the 2010 Legacy that is rumored to be unveiled at this April's New York Auto Show.

As well as performing a few minor changes on the sedan to make it look more production ready, Best Car's artists also drew up a couple of renderings of the station wagon and Outback variants of the 2010 Legacy.
