At the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show today, Subaru unveiled its Levorg concept, a sporty wagon that’s set to arrive in Japan next year but, unfortunately, isn’t likely to cross the Pacific.

Given that the current Legacy is only sold in the form of the Outback on our shores, we probably won’t get the Legacy wagon over here. The Levorg, which previews the next Legacy wagon, will come with two engine choices: a 1.6-liter Boxer turbocharged four cylinder or a 2.0-liter Boxer four cylinder, also turbocharged.

The 1.6L engine will produce 168 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0L puts out 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines will be mated to a CVT.

    The looks better now but still nowhere close to the old Bruce Willis Legacys. The front is starting to look like a Dodge RAM lol!

    I'd like it if Subaru added some more power to their vehicles. Neither engine sounds like enough for this much car. Also, nobody has noticed the front end looks 85% Volvo?

  • FreedMike Not my favorite car design, but that blue color is outstanding.
  • Lorenzo Car racing is dying, and with it my interest. Midget/micro racing was my last interest in car racing, and now sanctioning body bureaucrats are killing it off too. The more organized it is, the less interesting it becomes.
  • Lorenzo Soon, the rental car lots will be filled with Kia's as far as the eye can see!
  • Lorenzo You can't sell an old man's car to a young man, but you CAN sell a young man's car to an old man (pardon the sexism, it's not my quote).Solution: Young man styling, but old man amenities, hidden if necessary, like easier entry/exit (young men gradually turn into old men, and will appreciate them).
  • Wjtinfwb Hmmm. Given that most Ford designs are doing relatively well in the marketplace, if this was forced I'd bet it was over the S650 Mustang. It's not a bad looking car but some angles seem very derivative of other makes, never a good trait for a car as distinctive as Mustang. And if he had anything to do with the abysmal dashboard, that's reason enough. Mustang doesn't need the "Tokyo by Night" dash arrangement of a more boring car. Analog gauges, a screen big enough for GPS, not Netflix and some decent quality plastics is plenty. The current set-up would be enough to dissuade me from considering a new Mustang.
