Could we be confused about the new models we’re seeing in these spy shots? Let’s discuss.
No it’s just that all of the models are evolving back into crabs

After checking it out in further detail and looking at another angle, looks like I’m wrong. My bad. Will leave the post up for discussion so people can dunk on me.

If not they look alike, too much alike …

Just look at the passenger/rear side windows
I love Outback because I love station wagons so I hate to see Outback becoming more SUV like, but I also understand that SW isn’t a big seller in the US and probably this is profitable move…

I live in New Zealand and my wife is Japanese. We travel back each year to see extended family. I test drove the Layback last May in Japan. What an awesome car that is. We already get the Levorg badged as a WRX 2.4 turbo wagon in New Zealand so we’re hoping the Layback follows in the near future. Really feels like a smaller Outback about the same size as the Forester dimension wise. The Outback will soon be discontinued in Japan for the JDM market only as they’re too big for Japanese roads and incur higher sales tax based on engine size. Foresters and Laybacks are 1.8L turbos in Japan.
@Chan
I’m JP/US mix who lives in US but grew up in Japan, and have fam in Japan too. I drive a '13 Outback and my Japanese father drives a '14 Legacy Wagon there.
Levorg is really an eyecatch for me and would absolutely love to have Layback here in the US…
@Hollis
You should see what the Levorg (WRX) looks like in STI setup. It’s truly a stunning wagon to see on our roads. We also get lots of used JDM imports of all the special editions that come out in Japan. I lived in Tokyo 15 years and was fortunate to own a few of these special editions including a Forester XT STI in rally blue. I have a US friend (dedicated Subie fan) in the US who I send all the latest JDM catalogues to. He’s so envious of what we get in New Zealand
There are some dramatically different features visible, these are definitely not the same cars
I just wish it would have a manual transmission offered. It definitely won’t, but hey… lol

We would be lucky to even see the 2.4t as an option and not just a hybrid or 2.5 n/a
@Del
So true. Subaru is poised for millions of buyers to reject conventional engines.
I just wonder if the customer base is actually ready for that.
I should try to just buy the highest year Impreza base wagon and then try to keep it on the road for 20 years.
@Baylor
Yeah. Find an old ej253 and just run it. The new impreza rs isn’t worth the $30k+ it’s going for. Rather get the mazda 3 turbo for that price
