    Subaru XV Gets A New Name

    When the Subaru XV crossover arrives onto our shores sometime next year, it will come with a different name.

    During a presentation at the LA Auto Show this week, Subaru of America's Executive Vice President, Thomas J. Doll confirmed the Impreza-based crossover will be named the Subaru XV Crosstrek, not the Impreza Outback Sport.

    Why the name change? Well there could be two reasons. The first is the Impreza is known as the inexpensive compact car in Subaru's lineup. By separating all the different variants of the Impreza (XV Crosstrek, WRX, and STi), they can charge more for them. Secondly, Subaru has seen good sales results from separating the Legacy and Outback lines.

    The Subaru XV Crosstrek will make it's way to the US in 2012 as a 2013 model.

    I like it. I hope they stick the 2.5L in it though, because I've heard the new Impreza is rather anemic with the new smaller injun, if they try it in this higher-riding Crosstrek, they'll be asking fer trouble.

    • @Robert Hall @A Horse With No Name better plan if you want to leave the country on moving all assets including retirement money out of the country as Idiot47 says people who move out will not only give up their SS but he says the government will confiscate all assets. Seems to think he can actually steal from the population. We really need to use the 25th to remove him from office and prosecute the criminal. In auto news, Ferrari has just released all the Details on their first EV. 0-100km 2.5s 310km top speed or 190mph 1,000hp https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/ferrari-elettrica
    • I am positioning myself to do just that. Also positioning myself to never return/move back. 
    • Cutting off from society and leaving the country isn't realistic for me, I still have a career, mortgage, cars, dogs, etc.  But I am minimizing my social media and tuning out the news, avoiding MAGAts, etc.    A couple former coworkers that were a bit older have retired and left the country in the last year--one moved to Costa Rica and one to France. 
    • I do not, but labor is about 7% of the cost of a car.  You could say 25% tax on Chinese built cars like you have with the Chicken tax and that has seemed to work stopping Euro truck imports.  But the Chinese car companies can also build cars in Mexico, or Brazil or Indonesia or wherever else with lower labor cost than the USA too. The idea of tariffs are needed to boost jobs and manufacturing in the USA is a flawed theory though, because ever since April when the tariffs hit, unemployment as gone up and number of manufacturing jobs in the USA has gone down.  It is bad economics. We buy clothes, computers, shoes, phones, plastic lawn decorations and all other kind of stuff form Asia because it is lower cost.  I don't think cars should be any different really.  If BYD can sell a $25,000 3-row SUV then more power to them, and let consumers decide if they want to buy that or a $45,000 Traverse and if they perceive the Chevy as better quality then they'll pay the difference just as some people buy clothes at Walmart and some buy at Nordstrom.  
    • I want northing to do with organized religion, MAGA, buying American, being American, cheering for American sports teams, being a Nazi, supporting a Nazi, etc.
