Official: Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept to bow in Tokyo
Filed under: Concept Cars, Hybrid, Wagon, Tokyo Motor Show, Subaru, Design/Style
Many of us were big fans of the visuals of the previous-generation Subaru Legacy. While it was a little long-in-the-tooth by the time its replacement rolled around, it was a pretty slick little number. The current Legacy may be more advanced than the model it replaced, but we've never warmed to its look the way we did with the fourth generation model. That's why we're encouraged by these preview images of this new concept. At the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show later this month, Subaru will unveil the Advanced Tourer Concept seen here, together with its much-anticipated new BRZ coupe. We're hoping this is a glimpse at the next-gen Legacy wagon, as the Advanced Tourer Concept packs much more aggressive, muscular styling than the current model (we're also hoping that Subaru brings back the wagon bodystyle to North America). It's also possible that it will be a standalone model outside of the Legacy range. The interior has been done up in all manner of luxury features, from lashings of leather and brushed aluminum trim to the panoramic glass sunroof and, intriguingly, an infotainment screen mounted right on the steering wheel. There's also a new crash avoidance system based on two cameras mounted to the rearview mirror, but the bigger technological feature is the new in-house hybrid drivetrain that couples an electric motor to a 1.6-liter turbo boxer four to deliver the same output as a 2.0- or 2.5-liter but with better fuel consumption, driving all four wheels through a CVT. Like what you see? Check it out in the high-res image gallery and the press release after the jump.Continue reading Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept to bow in Tokyo Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept to bow in Tokyo originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:27:00 EST.

Much want - I have this vision of a S602 version having a turbo H6 at 300 Kw, Brembos, 6 speed manual and STI parts galore. When are they going to throw away the CVT rubbish?
