Tokyo, November 19, 2015 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today unveiled the “Impreza Sedan Concept” at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Impreza Sedan Concept is a design concept car previewing the next-generation Impreza which is to be the first one of Subaru’s next-generation strategic vehicles envisioned in FHI’s Mid-Term Management Vision “Prominence 2020″ announced in May 2014.

Road Test Special Report: 2008 Subaru WRX STI Ride & Drive Event
Road-Test was one of only a few media outlets invited to the official Ride & Drive Event of the 2008 Subaru WRX STI. I got the email just a few days before the launch asking if I wanted to attend the event. I gave it a consideration for all of 3 seconds and responded with an emphatic – YES! Usually a press launch is a basic introduction to a new vehicle followed by a relatively short pre-determined road trip lasting of roughly 30 minutes with a change of driver at the halfway point. I’d never been to a Subaru launch before, so that’s what I showed up expecting. I also arrived at the event immediately after picking up a Toyota hybrid that I’d scheduled for a two-week summer road trip. Talk about a contrast in vehicles. One is a compact full-blown rally car built for terrorizing the general populace, and the other is a mid-sized 4-door sedan designed for comfort and maximum fuel efficiency.
2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE – Road Test
Subaru cars have always looked a little different, and in many cases quirky too. With the arrival of the Legacy several years ago, Subaru moved into a more mainstream-look for the mid-sized sedan and wagon. The Legacy now joins 90% of the other “vanilla-flavored” looking vehicles out there. Looking at a parking lot full of every-day cars, you can truly understand why cars such as the Dodge Magnum, Ford Mustang and the like stand out. There are so many boring, look-alike cars out there, you have to look carefully to find your own car. Unfortunately, the Legacy is now included in that mix. However, under that generic-looking sheet metal hides a fantastic car with some outstanding features that you only get to know about after you spend time with it.
