Dont know if its been posted yet but heres a new subaru


Recommended Posts

The BRZ has a "special" engine, the FA20 engine.

 

I definitely want to drive one someday. Own one, don't know about that.

 

 

Oh, and if it hasn't been posted already, information on the new Impreza-based Subaru XV (Crosstrek)

 

Same FB20 engine (DOHC, timing chain) in the Impreza, but lifted to 8.6 inches of ground clearance and possibly a stiffer suspension than the Forester for a sportier driving experience. I hope the gear ratios are shorter than the regular Impreza.

 

Pretty sweet commercial for the new Subaru XV. If the XV comes to the USA, it will definitely take the place of my dying Outback once I kill the damn engine. It's got about 8.6 inches of ground clearance, is based off of the Impreza, and promises exactly what I've been looking for from a Subaru:

exceptional off-road/trail capability with sporty driving characteristics. Sure, it won't be powerful, but all that matters is that I KNOW it will be fun to drive with a manual transmission :)
