2018 Subaru WRX First Test Review Motor Trend

Subaru cars are known for their utilization of a boxer engine layout in the majority of vehicles above 1500 cc. The Symmetrical All Wheel Drive drive-train layout has been available since 1972. The flat/boxer engine and all-wheel-drive became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in many international markets by 1996, and is particularly now standard generally in most North American market Subaru vehicles. The lone exception may be the BRZ, introduced in 2012 by way of a partnership with Toyota, which uses the boxer engine but uses a rear-wheel-drive structure. Subaru also provides turbocharged versions in their passenger cars, like the Impreza WRX as well as the Legacy GT.In Western markets, the Subaru brand has traditionally been preferred among a dedicated core of buyers. Marketing is targeted towards specific niches devoted to those who desire the business's signature drive train engine, all-wheel/rough-road capabilities or affordable sports vehicle markets.Subaru may be the Japanese term for the Pleiades star cluster M45, and the "Seven Sisters" (considered one of whom tradition says is invisible – hence only six stars inside the Subaru logo), which inturn inspires the brand and alludes on the companies that merged to produce FHI.
