Some things can be absolutely head-scratching in life; cue Florida man, the political rise of Donald Trump and Subaru’s insistence of shunning the North American performance wagon market. The latter, in particular, is somewhat disheartening to those enthusiasts wanting WRX thrills, with the interior practicality of an Outback.
So with that in mind, I’ve decided to illustratively look at what Subaru could offer - let’s say as a modern-day equivalent, to the older 4th generation Legacy GT wagon.
Hang on, isn’t there the current Impreza-based Levorg?
Well yes, however that’s forbidden in North America. Currently the Japanese carmaker would rather focus on offerings like the Impreza, Crosstrek, Forester, Legacy and Outback.
Subaru’s official line is that those models sell well, but conventional wagons don’t (the same rhetoric that other carmakers are spurting out too). Which is a shame, as the Levorg hits a sweet spot between the rawness of the WRX and the comfort of a Legacy.
