I think this looks great!! Im happy to not see the WRX and Tribeca grill on the Legacy. That Spec B grill looks real nice. 
The restyle came quick. I wasnt expecting to see it so soon.

Very nice design. I'm liking the newer Subies, but they still have a long ways to go in terms
of looks.
The headlights are nice, they are a cross between the RSX and 5 series headlights.

Dont like it current Legacy looks much better. And the **** you see is for the SI-Drive system that we will get on the 07 Spec B. Does anyone have pics of the rear if anything has changed.

Oh Lord....
These are taken from the latest Japanese popular car magazine.
They are artist impressions of the next gen Subaru Outback and Legacy.
The magazine also describes Subaru is in a joint effort with Toyota to design and make the next gen Legacy platform.

2008 Subaru Legacy GT
JDM Legacy will also get the SI-DRIVE as you can see in pic. It sounds like only the GT and 3.0 will get the SI-DRIVE.
Rumors..
The front grill did not get the spread wing treatment. Headlights basically is the same as current model, but with the outside corners extending up a bit more. The rear tailights are a bit smaller and top third is clear.
Restyled bumpers. Interior has improved significantly - instrument panel and shifter area is new. New color to be introduced.
Looks a little more unique to Subaru with this latest refresh and I'm gonna give them a thumbs up here. As I can see visually from the brocure, appears to be 4 ***** on the dash, besides that, interior stuff is less apparent. The new Spec B front bumper looks great. Hopefully we'll see a similar setapart front cover here. It has more sweeping lines, especially apparent up front. The wheels are different with that 12-spoke design. I'm guessing the Spec B will get the formerly unique Blitzen Grille. The standard Legacy grille with the wings still brings the same airplane approach as the first BL/BP models, just sits lower under the badge and with higher-raked wings. I figured it's a good resemplence while not evacuating from the airplane front entirely. Overall looks great, just unfortunately I probably won't get one because there isn't enough performance there.

i still think the legacy GT is still a better overall car than the STI WRX. Simple bolt ons on the legacy will easily reach STi power, and plus you have the space, more luxurious interior, dont have the boy racer look. Legacy GT is probably the most underdog sports sedan out there, hardly anyone knows about it, but it comes out of nowhere and performs extremely well. But its lost in the hype of the STi WRX
