The architecture rules about placement of diag ports and code conventions will probably be around for a while, but the nuts and bolts related to how data is shared and transmitted has never really been part of the regulations, GM alone has about five or six different kinds of networks, a lot of…

Ah, what you’re referring to is the third gen Outback but fourth gen Legacy since there was no Outback for the first Legacy. Despite that, I think it’s still generally regarded as the fourth generation just for continuity’s sake with the Legacy.

Well, then he’d go to jail, most likely.
