AutoCar je napisal/-a:Impreza on course for April debut

26 January 2007
Subaru will hit back against arch rival Mitsubishi at the New York show on the 4th April this year, when it unveils the long-awaited new Impreza to the world.

The new model will be a conventional five-door hatchback, rather than the more conventional four-door saloon and estate variants we've come to know, and was previewed by the B5 TPH concept which appeared at the last Tokyo auto show (see gallery). However, Subaru isn't breaking with tradition under the bonnet; the new Impreza will be powered by a choice of naturally-aspirated 1.5- and 2.0-litre petrol 'flat-four' boxer engines to begin with.

The iconic turbocharged Impreza STi will come later. It will feature body styling even more extravagant to the current car, and is likely to be powered by an evolution of the 2.5-litre engine Subaru currently offers, but we won't get to see it until 2008. There are no plans to carry over the intermediate WRX model.

Meanwhile it's emerged that Subaru's Legacy and Outback models will be its first to be offered with diesel power. Subaru is developing an industry-first flat-four turbodiesel motor for the application, and is due to slot it into production in early 2008. It'll have a 2.0-litre capacity and has been benchmarked against the BMW 320d's motor. Subaru expect it to produce around 170bhp and 250lbft of torque.

WRC in WRX je velika velika razlika...WRX je (osnovni med turbaši) civilni model Impreze s turbo motorjem, WRC pa je rally specialka

Bomo točno videli, ko bodo kakšne uradne informacije kje prikapljale...

Thinking Big: new law opens path for Toyota takeover of Subaru

Posted Feb 6th 2007 4:33PM by Noah Joseph
Toyota has been eying a takeover of Fuji Heavy Industries – Subaru's parent company – for some time now. When General Motors ditched its 20 percent stake in Fuji back in October 2005, Toyota snapped up 8.7 percent and the two have been undertaking a series of joint ventures since.

But that wasn't nearly enough for the Toyota Motor giant that's getting closer and closer to the #1 global automaker spot with each passing day. An acquisition of Subaru would bring them even closer, if only they could.

The one obstacle standing in Toyota's way until now has been a Japanese law that prohibits any single company from controlling more than half of the domestic market for any particular product – automobiles, in this case. Between the two of them, Toyota and Subaru commanded a hefty 45.6 percent of the Japanese car market in 2006, and that's mighty close to the limit. However, new Japanese anti-trust laws taking effect in April will refocus the criteria on the company's global market share instead of domestic, in a bid to help Japanese companies compete in export markets.

We'd expect Toyota and Fuji to take advantage of this move by the Japanese government. Corporate maneuvering aside, the potential for Subaru's influence on Toyota products has us daydreaming of serious STi-ness trickling down through the entire Toyota line-up.
