Concept. Doesn't look like the car above besides proportions. Looks like a highlander.

Looks like a Honda Pilot, by Subaru. Could be a useful vehicle. Wonder if we will see them over here (Sweden). Couple years ago I would have said probably not, but I am seeing more and more SUVs and larger cars every day.

...what? The 2nd generation Subaru XV has been offered in the United States with a manual transmission since the beginning. I have a 2014 5MT, they seem like they don't exist but I assure you they do exist.

The 3rd generation now has a 6-speed manual, versus the old 5-speed manual.
Nope, Subaru so far has said this will be a North America exclusive vehicle.


Supposedly we should expect a DIT engine in the Ascent.

When I asked the dealer they said there were none prior to last year. Then I went to a dealer who isn't Stevens Creek and they said, yes they exist. So when he said they have them, he may have meant the 6sp I guess?


Sounded like DIT would be the only option.

Subaru officially no longer sells any cars here in Sweden with the option to have a manual transmission. The dealer I spoke to a few years ago said this was coming, but I guess I just didn't believe it.

Makes sense about the Ascent, but I do think it would sell well here. SUVs seem to be ruling all these days, especially w/ AWD. Mostly I just want 3x emblems, so I can make one that says *** SCENT.
