Subaru previews new 7seat SUV with VIZIV7 concept PerformanceDrive

Subaru cars are known for their utilization of a boxer engine layout in many 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 generally in most international markets by 1996, which is now standard generally in most North American market Subaru vehicles. The lone exception would be the BRZ, introduced in 2012 by way of a partnership with Toyota, which uses the boxer engine but rather uses a rear-wheel-drive structure. Subaru even offers turbocharged versions of the passenger cars, such as Impreza WRX and also 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 dedicated to those who desire you can actually signature drive train engine, all-wheel/rough-road capabilities or affordable performance car markets.Subaru will 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 from the Subaru logo), which inturn inspires the brand and alludes towards the companies that merged to make FHI.
