I doubt we will get the levorg but it has been on my want list ever since they debuted it a while back...

I would totally drive that. I like it a lot. Is that an updated Levorg? Seems to look cleaner but I don't have time to search for pics right now.

While it's nice, I'd prefer they bring over the Exiga (and Exiga STi):



I need a people/stuff hauler and would much prefer this over the AWD Siennas we've been looking at. I'm sure I've said the same thing in quite a few threads but I'll continue to do so until SOA decides we are worthy enough for them to bring us a car that can fit more than five people.

gotta say dumping a 2.5 turbo from the outback and making it taller was a huge mistake.

Subaru has basically eliminated itself from having a capable turbo wagon hauler that isn't 1) slower than a car from 10 years ago they made 2) huge and tall like the forester xt

Boooooooooooo

Ah yeah ever since I saw the Exiga on a Jaoan visit and then saw they made an STi version, ahhhh how I've pined for one...

Don't think it'll come over but ready to buy one if they did!!!

Need a people mover and don't want to give up all the performance. Can't Subaru understand and bring it over? Better than the Tribeca IMO...

Or why can't they just understand that we need a manual FXT again? or LGT Wagon

I agree with this sentiment...the absolute last straw was when they dropped the manual from the base model Outback and went only CVT.
If the Levorg can bring some of that back...awesome...but I highly doubt it. I don't think the market is there. 'Muricans want (need?) their gargantuan crossovers, SUVs and trucks to haul their self entitled egos around.

Exiga ftw!

What were the sales figures for the FXT and other models? Maybe not enough people were buying them.

Of course not enough people were buying manuals. The demographic that was buying those cars isn't the sort that buys manual. Just like 99.9% of current BMWs are automatic.

Japan has had this thing for over a year. There's tons of reviews on youtube. But yea, CVTs are crap, and expensive to replace when they fail.

and, THEY ALL FAIL.
