What does Subaru have in store for the 2010 auto show season?
Showtime!
The 2010 auto show season is about to launch. What will Subaru be showing? Frankfurt is next month and it's rumored that Toyota will show a concept (I'm assuming it's a concept) of their Subaru-Toyota RWD coupe. That should give us a pretty good idea as to what this vehicle will look like. I also expect Subaru to debut the Euro-spec 2010 Legacy and Outback-and with the diesel, of course. The question is will it be offered with the CVT in addition to the 6-speed manual? In October there's the Tokyo auto show. I haven't a clue, but I'm sure Subaru will have something new on hand, as this show only occurs every other year. Maybe a concept version of their RWD coupe? Also, being in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Legacy STI concept. Then in November is the LA show. I don't expect anything from Subaru to be announced here, as they don't usually use this show to announce vehicles. Then again, the Baja concept (STX) debuted at LA if I'm not mistaken... In January there's the Detroit show. I expect something new here from Subaru. The Subie concept version of the Toyota coupe? Maybe showing up as a hybrid with electric motors powering the front wheels? Chicago? Nah, Subaru has never used this February show to announce anything new. I doubt that will change. Geneva in March might see something? A while back there were some rumors of a high-performance WRX diesel; might we see that? Maybe a 2.5L version? Remember Europe is diesel-crazy. In NY, which is in late March/early April-and Subaru always uses this show to announce something. I'm guessing they will "leak" news that the 2011 STI sedan will be there-and then surprise us on the press day by also showing the US-spec Forester (or Outback?) diesel. Remember they pulled a similar stunt last year at New York by leaking news of the Legacy ahead of time, and then surprising us also with the Outback on press day. Could happen again... Lastly, the Beijing auto show, in April, will likely show vehicles that pertain to the emerging Chinese market. I don't expect any world debuts there, but I could be wrong. Oh... this is just pure speculation on my part, with no insider's info, but based on studying Subaru show debuts for years, and what we know is in the works. Bob

I think you are forgetting the Tokyo motor show.

While I'm interested to see the Toyota/Subaru coupe, I'm really hoping for the US spec diesel. Hope you're right.

I think there might be a comma missing after 'engine' (or replace 'with' with 'and') |

A "concept" of an all-new 7 or 8-seater? (wishfully thinking)

STi versions and Diesel versions of the new Legacy. Probably the Impreza STi sedan.

These informations haven't yet been "published", but handed out to dealers weeks ago. Diesel is definitely only 6-speed manual, and the 3.6 engine is only available for Outback, not for Legacy 4-door and wagon. |
