Subaru Legacy (third generation)

Subaru launched the third generation Japanese and world market Legacy in June 1998, while the North American model started production in May 1999 as a 2000 model, known as the BE for sedans and BH for wagons. In the United States it went on sale with the 2.5 liter EJ251 engine as standard. Flat roof wagons were no longer made anywhere, and the raised roof was used for both the Legacy wagon and the Outback. Daytime running lamps began on American models with the 2000 model year, and the Outback line became its own model in 2000. Its model years run from 2000 to 2004.
