Subaru Forum Guide

Subaru Forum One of the most unique vehicles to come from the brand arrived in the late 1970s. The Subaru BRAT (Bi-Drive, Recreational All-Terrain Transporter didn't exactly roll off the tongue) was a hit because of its unique pickup truck styling, not to mention that it was rated the most fuel-efficient four-wheel-drive vehicle of the day. While the BRAT was recognized for its utility and efficiency, 1986's Subaru XT drew attention due to its futuristic design and available six-cylinder engine. The subsequent Subaru SVX, with its partial window visors and low-slung style, was also a highlight among the brand's designs. Standing in total contrast to the XT and SVX were the mainstream Subaru Legacy and the Subaru Justy, a simple and rather homely little runabout drawing motivation from a three-cylinder engine.

With the gradual passing of the XT, SVX and Justy came the introduction of models more familiar to current shoppers. The Subaru Impreza made its debut, as did the Subaru Outback, and the Subaru Forester. This was also the era of the Subaru Baja, a modern, four-door version of the BRAT, albeit without the adorning fans. However, if the Baja's style pushed people away, the Impreza WRX and Impreza WRX STI drew them back. The same couldn't be said for the Subaru B9 Tribeca, which thankfully was replaced by the more attractive Subaru Tribeca soon after its initial launch.

The automaker made a name for itself in motorsports in the 1990s by being the first Japanese marque to win the Manufacturers' title at the World Rally Championship three years in a row. The Subaru family continued to grow during this decade, with the addition of the high-performance SVX, the popular Legacy-based Outback wagon and the sporty Impreza. In the late '90s, General Motors acquired a 20 percent stake in parent company Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) with the aim of strengthening its presence in foreign markets. This affiliation didn't last long, however, and Toyota currently owns a small percentage of FHI. Today, Subaru's lineup includes everything from compact trucks to family-friendly wagons to high-performance cars such as the WRX STi. The brand is hailed as a top pick for enthusiasts seeking vehicles that offer a shot of utility with their performance thrills.
