Over the last few months, we′ve had some time come grips with how comfy capacious the interior is in our long-term 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT, but despite this, we think it could still do with sportier feeling cabin. A big part of the staidness of the interior can blamed our test car’s spears of orangey woodgrain trim – we would have gladly substituted the silver trim lower-rung models, but it wasn’t an option.

Thankfully, Subaru has recognized the incongruity – the opportunity – they’re substituting faux carbon fiber for 2011 model year, which ought be great improvement help sell the ‘performance′ aura. Better still, they’re adding aluminum pedal covers silver seat stitching which should definitely liven up the place bit.

Pricing the 2011 model – now ‘Limited’ trim only – goes up $405 to $31,395. but includes Harman/Kardon audio with XM – two items that cost extra our 2010. They’re also adding folding side mirrors, which should make at least one AB commenter we′ve heard very happy. Either way the modest price increase money very well spent our book. Now, Subaru would only make its excellent xenon headlamps available as an option (they’ve already got the switch blank for the beam adjuster place next to the power mirror controls), we′d be even happier campers…
