mattg Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Interesting. I still don't get the wing window, door mounted side mirror idea. I think it looks like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppertone Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would just pull the mirrors and fiberglass rear view cameras in that area, problem solved. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The mirrors are like that to increase visibility around the A pillar. The BRZ like rear fender line just doesn't work, a bit too low. The chrome trim on the doors looks odd since it doesn't transition to the back window. The front end looks weird. The grill to hood scoop lines don't flow well.

Gelacy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 They're actually on the doors for better aerodynamics but sure, let's add visibility to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What exact problem is this car destined to solve? What void is it filling in FHI's plans? I have a feeling we are seeing the tip of an iceberg. Wondering what will come out of FHI in next few years. That said, this does not look bad. Definitely caries the silhouette of 4th BP, at least up to C pillar. Then its Impreza hatch rear gate. If its made available with 6MT is States, this could be something to look at for sure.

Gelacy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 ;D Yay for CVT's! I hope we get another iteration of the HT-CVT but for the 1.6 DIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 ;D Yay for CVT's! I hope we get another iteration of the HT-CVT but for the 1.6 DIT. The 1.6DIT according to the article has 170PS or about 167hp and gets the regular CVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelacy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The 1.6DIT according to the article has 170PS or about 167hp and gets the regular CVT. NUUUUUUUUUU. Oh well, as long as it's a CVT and not a stepped automatic. A stepped automatic would be better than a manual though. ;D I'd be surprised they even have a stepped automatic on a new model with their CVT's already doing such a good job.

Perscitus Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Judging by what they're doing with the WRX/WRX STi styling and the latest spy-shots of the camouflaged Legacy/Outback (especially the taillights and the headlight location of the projectors), the Levorg looks like it is/was one of those mules. Now, the question is does that mean the Subaru engineers were really testing a Levorq and not the Legacy/Outback? Or is the Levorq the next Legacy/Outback? One thing is for sure, they will share a lot of the same styling queues. The 2015 WRX and WRX concepts carry the next gen styling DNA bits of all upcoming Subaru cars. From the boomerang tails that will probably make it over to whatever become the next-gen Legacy, the headlights which will likely hit all models, Forester XT LED U-brow and all.

SubOperator Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Blah at that chrome trim ending at C pillar. That looks stupid. Re-read the specs and it sounds LEVORG is not meant to be sold in US. Too many cool gizmos and they mention word "wagon" about half a dozen times. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreyK Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Apparently wheelbase is 4 inches shorter than the current Legacy Wagon/Outback. Perhaps Outback is going to move up in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So may be those rumors about Outback replacing Tribeca are true. Say hi to Outbeca.

Perhaps Outback is going to move up in size. wheelbase seems to be 19mm shorter than 4th gen, according to cars101. Not surprising considering current Impreza is basically 4th gen chassis. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerMunkee Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 2.0 with 300HP? Nice! Would think the WRX should have got this. Maybe the '15 Legacy will get it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmrdwn Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks like fusion dart. The hood line intersecting the headlight is strange. Some of the images looked stretched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanger Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 it can look good as a hatch but not a wagon. you know some people's face looks like he's a short dude, but when he stands up he's way too tall. ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradze Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 hmmm, i think i know what the '15 outback will look like. ill probably trade mine cause i want the 2.0 DIT so bad, but no car payment if i stick with my '11, so i don't know...

Manik1770 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Doesn't look bad at all - pretty similar to the new WRX, but it seems Subaru purists are hating everything Subaru has come out with this last decade. It reminds me more of the Acura TSX wagon than it does a revised Outback / Legacy wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
