Maybe there are not many of us that can read in Spanish, but in the Car and Driver spaniard version, they compared the Legacy Diesel against the new Mazda 6 and the Lancer, and the Subie won. Check on http://www.caranddriverrevista.orange.es/c_driver/compas_nuevas/compa_lancer_maz- da6_legacy/pag1.shtml.
I am not a diesel fan, but this is one more reason for the company to bring that engine to America.

My family would be on the list for one. Unfortunately, that 100 per year is only in Japan. Not for sale anywhere else. If and when a Subaru electric makes it to North America, it'll more likely be based on the G4e concept, more similar in size to the upcoming new Honda Fit (a little larger than the current Fit). I'd drive a tiny R1e around town, but I'm not sure many companies other than MB's Smart think there's a market here yet for such small vehicles.

For those not familar with the Re1, here is a link: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/28/subaru-r1e-electric-vehicle-ready-for-sale-ea- rly/
 
If the current Forester with the rumored 200 HP diesel 5 spd EAT becomes available in NA that would also be very sweet.
 
Time to start a letter writing campaign to Subaru making them aware of our needs and wants. Sent mine to Subaru.com (click on contact).

outlines changes for 2009 in Outback and Legacy. Mostly cosmetic and audio tweaks, and VDC is standard. No changes to engine nor drivetrain.

VDC was overdue, but that's good news.
 
Exiga looks like it could compete well against the Mazda5. They should reconsider bringing it here.
 
Inside it looks like the Grand Forester I was begging for years ago.
 
Small is hot, so bring it to the US, Subaru!
 
The LED lights are a new trend, mike. The DCX minivans got those. Forester has LED spots on some interior controls. Exiga just goes a step further.
 
Big moonroof looks good, another thing they copied from the Forester.
 
They should have made the rear door wider. Access to the 3rd row is going to be tough, I bet.
 
My theory is this - if they brought it here, it might kill Tribeca sales.

We hear things like this all the time. Actually I recall hearing the 2.5l would be at 180hp by now, about 10 times.
 
No way, no how, will all models get this kind of power bump in the next year or two. That's just not like Subaru to do that.
 
Plus, it might make more sense right now to make fuel efficiency gains, rather than power gains.

That's no moonroof, that's an actual glass roof. The glass area should put even Forester's panoramic moonroof to shame, but I doubt Exiga's roof pops up for ventilation.

We really need to see some better pics!
 
Aren't brochures out yet in Japan?

My '06 is rated at 175hp... that's close enough to 180 in my book.
