I absolutely love Pugs and French Bulldogs. I don’t know what it is about their smashed up, snuffling little faces or their cross eyed, tongue lolling grins that makes me adore them. Maybe its just because I’m a dog person. Whatever the case, allow me to introduce you to the fifth generation, 2010 Legacy B4 GT tS, the automotive equivalent…of the Pug.

Like the furry little snort boxes, you either love the way the new Legacy looks or you don’t. There is no Switzerland in this discussion. The front end and its mess of grills, chromed slashes and bulging lights is an assault on the senses, not least of all because it looks nothing like its fourth gen cousin. The first time I laid eyes on it, I didn’t know what to think. But then, thanks to Subaru, I got a much closer look.

WASHINGTON — Subaru is recalling 809 Legacy and Outback vehicles from model years 2010 and ‘11 because the oil lubrication hole within the six-speed manual transmission transfer case had not been drilled, which could lead to the gears breaking, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Subaru of America also issued a stop-sale order on the affected vehicles to its U.S. dealers on July 19.

“Due to a programming error, a lubrication hole within the six-speed manual transmission was omitted,” said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. “If the transmission gears are not properly lubricated, a groaning sound may begin to develop, alerting the driver to a problem. If this sound is ignored and no action is taken, the gears will eventually break and this condition will lead to vehicle power loss, possibly resulting in a crash.”

Subaru’s in-house tuning department STI has got its hands on the new-for-2010 Legacy sedan to create the B4 2.5GT tS. The tS apparently means ‘Tuned by STI’ and the special model features a host of cosmetic and dynamic enhancements, even though the turbocharged 2.5-litre boxer remains unchanged.

Visually, the tS receives a new front bumper, as well as a subtle decklid spoiler out back (fixed to the roof on wagon models). New 18-inch alloys wrapped in 225/45-series rubber fill the gurads and special badging is applied all around. Inside, there’s a new instrument cluster, sport seats, carbon-fibre trim, a leather-wrapped STI steering wheel and, of course, STI branding on the shifter and floor mats.
