WHILE SUBARU AND TOYOTA work to bring a Subaru hybrid to market in 2012, the all-electric version of the Subaru Stella, which combines technology from the company’s R1-E prototype with the regular Japan-only Stella platform, is about to go on sale in the home islands.
With deliveries scheduled to begin in late July, Subaru is expecting [...]
SUBARU LAUNCHED its first diesel engine in Europe back in 2008, starting with the Legacy (Liberty in Australia) before expanding to the Impreza and Forester lines. The diesel version of the Legacy has proven especially popular, accounting for over 50 percent of Legacy sales in Europe.
Japanese business daily Nikkei has reported that Subaru will now [...]
IN RECENT YEARS Subaru has made it clear that it favours the development of diesel powertrains over investing in hybrid technology. But with global buyer sentiment shifting (and more manufacturers getting on the hybrid train), Subaru has now declared its intent to also bring a hybrid model to market.
Subaru’s hybrid is slated for a 2012 [...]
Around this time last month, the first images of the 2010 Subaru Liberty Touring - sold just about everywhere else as the Legacy - made their way online. Now, the Japanese-market version of Subaru’s new wagon has had a proper reveal.
The Australian-delivered model will be based on the Japanese version, so if you’re in the [...]
Well folks, we can probably expect to hear of Mr De Niro’s retirement in the next couple of days. After all, now that he’s starred in a television commercial for the Japanese version of the upcoming 2010 Subaru Liberty (sold overseas as the Legacy), what’s left to achieve?
You might think it’s an odd pairing, but [...]
When I was 13 I could barely complete the beginners circuit in Sega Rally, but for 13 year old Indonesian Sean Galael, the art of rallying seems to come naturally.
The youngster is currently in the midst of competing in the KFC Junior Rally Sprint in Indonesia, where he has already won the first two rounds [...]
April VFACTS figures show that Subaru has held the line in a tough month, falling just 5.5 percent against an overall industry drop of 23.9 percent.
Most encouraging of all for the six-star brand, Impreza was up 5.9 percent on the same month last year with 1008 sales, while Forester was up 11.9 percent for the [...]
It seems almost impossible for a manufacturer to keep a new model under wraps these days, but who are we to complain?
Forget the May 20th scheduled debut, Subaru’s Legacy Touring Wagon has been almost completely revealed thanks to a Japanese magazine and the power of the intertubes.
We bought you the official teaser image not that [...]
Subaru has announced that its new generation Subaru Forester and EXIGA have received the top six-star crashworthiness ratings for occupant safety in testing conducted by the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP).
JNCAP testing is conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism along with the National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victims [...]
Subaru has announced that it’ll be bumping up the power, beefing up the torque and cutting some weight out of the next version of its Stella electric vehicle, which will enter production and commence limited sales in the middle of this year.
The production Stella will boast an extra seven kilowatts of power, 20 Newton metres [...]
With all the names, nicknames and details that keep getting trundled out for the 2012 Toyota/Subaru ‘Toyobaru’ ‘Subota’ 086A Celica rear-wheel-drive entry-level sports car (see, that took up an entire line and then some), we’re going to soon start running out of space to put it all.
Moving on, the ‘Toyobaru’ circus continues. Best Car magazine – [...]
Having seen the Liberty/Legacy-based 2010 Subaru Outback in all its high-riding glory, it isn’t difficult to venture a guess at what the wagon version of the 2010 Subaru Liberty sedan might look like.
To help us along, Subaru Japan has revealed this teaser image of the official 2010 Subaru Legacy Touring wagon. Visually, it’s essentially the same car, but without all [...]
Along with its new Legacy/Liberty sedan, Subaru has also shown the latest version of its high-riding Outback wagon at the New York Auto Show, fifteen years after the original Outback was displayed for the first time in the Big Apple.
As expected, the Outback shares its key body components with the on-road focused Legacy, but adds [...]
Subaru has released the full details and a set of images for the 2010 Subaru Legacy – to be sold locally as the 2010 Subaru Liberty – in the lead up to the 2009 New York Motor Show.
Straight off the bat, it’s obvious that the previous 2010 Subaru Liberty images we’ve posted were just about [...]
Ever since Subaru displayed its promising concept car at the recent Detroit Auto Show, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the development of the next-gen Subaru Legacy/Liberty.
We’re not alone though. Japanese mag Carmode has also got the upcoming mid-sizer on its radar, and have pumped out these speculative renderings to illustrate how it thinks [...]
They say ambition is all it takes, although years of WRC experience probably helps too. That’s why the car you see pictured here will be handed to former WRC champ Marcus Gronholm with just three days of preparation before he contests the Rally of Portugal for a special one-off race.
It’s been 16 months since Gronholm’s [...]
If you thought you were confused about the coming Toyota and Subaru rear-wheel-drive entry-level sports car (even that’s a mouthful), then rest assured, this latest news… probably won’t clarify things at all.
The ‘Toyobaru’ - initially conceived to evoke the spirit of the AE86 Corolla - has had a turbulent run, being cancelled and re-instated more [...]
We’ve all been there. Usually it’s at a track day while other times its a windy mountain road. No matter the setting we’re all undoubtedly familiar with those situations where your passenger gets a little queasy when you’re busy twirling the tiller.
Girlfriends and best friends are the usual victims, but ex-F1 champ Damon Hill found [...]
Subaru Australia has released just 50 units of its special limited edition Liberty GT spec.B R. The changes to the regular Liberty GT Spec.B that have brought Subaru Australia to slap an R on the end are entirely aesthetic, but for the die-hard Subaru fan or simply the clever collector, [...]
Folks, I’m torn. Like TMR’s Tony O’Kane, I’m unnaturally obsessed with Japanese cars – especially the ones we’re not lucky enough to see on Aussie roads.
But, like most three-legged males, I’m also a fan of exotic European supercars.
So when I see this classic Japan-market 1969 Subaru Sambar II ‘kei’ truck flamboyantly waving a Ferrari flag, [...]
The man named Vince has landed new images of what is looking more and more likely to be the next all-new Liberty, if these and the previous batch of 2010 Subaru Liberty/Legacy images are anything to go by.
While there’s still very little technical information that has escaped (aside from a few rumours), it looks at [...]
It’s not official yet, but it does look as if the recent batch of 2010 Subaru Liberty / Legacy images – and these latest ones – are the all-new 2010 Subaru Liberty (known internationally as the Subaru Legacy).
No other information is available as yet, but with these images and with last week’s magazine scans, it [...]
UPDATE April 3rd 2009: Official details and images are here.
We reported earlier this afternoon about a rumour getting around that Subaru would be unveilling the production version of the new Legacy/Liberty at the New York Motor Show, and now these new images have surfaced online.
Purportedly a look at the next generation Outback and Legacy versions, [...]
After unveilling the Legacy Concept in Detroit back in January (the production version of which is known locally as the Subaru Liberty), it is now expected to debut at the New York Auto Show next month.
With a face some say only a mother could love, the new Legacy concept caused quite a commotion among Subaru pundits.
Now, [...]
Welcome to Mod Squad: a damnably simple series of posts where I grab a bunch of photos from around the internets of nicely modified examples of new car models, and post them here in one wonderful gallery for you to waste your afternoon tea break drooling over.
Let’s begin with the 2007+ GR Subaru Impreza WRX [...]
Subaru’s Forester is about to celebrate its position as Australia’s best-selling SUV in 2008 with the Launch of a limited edition version of the Forester X. The batch of 550 Foresters will come with $1500 of additional value for only $500.
Additional equipment for the Forester X Limited Edition includes 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps [...]
Earlier in the week, we reported that the joint Toyota and Subaru entry-level rear-wheel-drive project is still on the go, and that we should expect to see it some time around 2012.
While our mail would indicate that the body shape has been largely finalised, there remains some mystery as to the choice of powertrain and driveline.
This may be becoming [...]
On Sunday we reported on a dubious article posted by the Detroit Free Press which claimed Toyota and Subaru had confirmed that their joint entry-level rear-wheel-drive sports car project had been put on “indefinite hold”.
Now, according to Inside Line and “knowledgeable PR sources in Japan”, we should ignore that news and keep our spirits high – again [...]
In what will likely be heart-wrenching news for many, Toyota and Subaru have together – according to the Detroit Free Press – confirmed that the small entry-level RWD sports car project the two companies had been working on, is now on indefinite hold.
Codenamed 086A, the ‘Toyobaru’ project (as it had been nicknamed, along with ‘Subota’), [...]
Subaru has today confirmed that its Exiga All-Wheel Drive wagon will join its Australian line-up later this year.
Unveiling a Japanese domestic-specification Exiga at the Melbourne International Motor Show, Subaru Managing Director, Nick Senior, said the six-seater family wagon will go on sale around November.
It will feature an automatic transmission as standard and be powered by [...]
