Click either image for a high-res gallery of the Subaru Exiga.We received word from a little birdie last week that Subaru was gearing up to release its brand-new
Exiga into journalist's hands in Japan. Coincidentally (or not), a teaser shot of Subaru's new pseudo-CUV popped up on the NASIOC forum over the weekend and it's clear from the darkened profile that many of the elements from the show car have migrated over to the production model.
The Exiga, which appeared at last year's
Tokyo Motor Show as a lightly veiled concept, will likely form the basis for the new Outback, slotting in between the Legacy and the Tribeca CUV. However, it's doubtful that when the Exiga (or Outback) makes the trek across the Pacific it will be sporting seven full seats. Its closest competitor here in the States is the forthcoming
Toyota Venza, which aims to define a new segment between wagon and crossover, but in reality, both vehicles own their inspiration to the
AMC Eagle, the original wagon on stilts.
