2013 tokyo motor show brz based subaru cross sport design concept

Not many details have been released so far about the Subaru Cross Sport Design concept, which the company says is a combination of “sport” and “utility” and features “easy seat access, a comfortable interior, and abundant luggage space” and it’s supposed to show the direction forward for urban SUVs. They also could have said that it’s a stretched, jacked up BRZ station wagon, since with a horizontally opposed engine up front driving the back wheels, the Cross Sport Design is based on the sports car platform shared by Toyota/Scion and Subaru. It weighs 2,750 lbs and is 169.3 inches long, 2.6″ longer than the BRZ. It has a two part rear decklid that reveals a wood paneled floor when opened. No word yet on whether or not it will be produced, but with all the companies rushing to sell compact crossovers, it conceivably could be Subaru’s cheaper alternative to the new Porsche Macan.

This looks quite good, and along with the other concepts, I'm liking this trend of raised wagony CUV. Puts me in mind of the 4x4 Eagles of olde.

I like this concept Subaru, I'm glad not every OEM has lost its mind with their concepts.

EBFlex No loss. Ford hasn't had a nice looking vehicle in a very long time.
FreedMike Makes perfect sense. Petroleum companies are the ones who have the most to lose from people switching to EVs. Every one sold is a car they don't get to sell fuel for anymore. Might as well cater to those customers too. At some point, petroleum companies would be wise to make the swtich from selling gas to selling ENERGY, and one of those energies could be electricity. Good business is where you find it, guys.
Golden2husky 2014 Vette, just front tires so far. Acura TL is a recent acquisition so no expenses yet though the passenger window reverses all the time for no reason. 2002 Buick was mostly trouble free until its 21st birthday. Last year brought five repairs, three of which were window regulator issues. I just had a tie rod separation due to an inproper wheel alignment that had too few threads in the outer tie rod end. Good thing that happened at low speed. No fun when you can't steer....
JK Savoy Blue is a thing, but Sestriere White? Sestriere is a ski town near Turin, so I guess it meant to conjure up thoughts of snow. Pretty car. I hope Pininfarina has success. The industry in and around Turin has taken a big hit and is a shadow of its former self.
