Subaru B9 Scrambler



The Subaru B9 Scrambler has a symmetrical all-wheel-drive systm and variable-height air suspension with automatic self-levelling.

It has a hybrid engine and a gas-powered engine. The gas engine is turned up when the charge drops below a certain level.It also acts as a generator at the same time.

Extra power, when needed, is supplied by a 2.0-liter SOHC flat-four engine.

I hate roadsters. I buy subaru because it's big and boxy yet handles itself like a sports car.

I don't know. It is sorta Miata/Z4/Skyesque. And the hybrid part? Cool and eco-friendly, but maybe a bit too early for the market. Not everyone would be ready to embrace a hybrid convertible sports car from Subaru

I thought they were going away from the "pig nose"? kind of hate to see that design "feature" coming back....

variable-height air suspension sounds like a nice thing for what I'd be doing with it though

I'll say no, especially if the roadster looks like that picture.

that is NOT a roadster...

A "Roadster" by definition is RWD and convertible. 2 seater...oh yeah SMALL! Its styling doesnt appeal to a young demographic obviously, as Miata and s2000 do.
