TOKYO — Subaru is teasing Japanese customers with partial snaps of the all-new Exiga crossover wagon, ahead of the car's June 17 unveiling.
Unfortunately, the automaker has no immediate plans to market the seven-passenger Exiga in the U.S., according to a Subaru of America spokesman, "although that doesn't mean never."
The Exiga debuted last fall as a concept at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show, using the slogan "7-Passenger Panoramic Touring." The all-wheel-drive concept was powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer-4 mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox and featured a tall roof with a large panoramic glass panel.
The Exiga is sized between the Legacy wagon and the Tribeca MPV. No word yet on pricing in the Japan domestic market.
