Subaru has an amazing class for all this. Just similar fractious bear, coaches are an infrequent vision in North America. Fortuitously, one of the breed stays strong, the Subaru Outback. The raised Subie has been the rightest of stayers; with United States sales topping 150,000 in 2015, it’s really more like a different bear—the North American black bear, which is easily spotted in many parts of the U.S.A. and Canada. The Outback 3.6R Touring tested here is powered by an engine configuration that’s also on the brink of extinction—a horizontally opposed, naturally aspirated six-cylinder. Otherwise found only in the top trim Subaru Legacy, this flat-six accounts for roughly 15 percent of total Outbacks sold.
As a crossover – utility vehicle, The Outback masquerades, riding on a somewhat raised suspension for more ground clearance, but it’s a Legacy station wagon in every other respect. This configuration has proved so widespread, though, that Subaru stopped offering the non-Outback Legacy wagon in the U.S. some time ago. We suspect a version of it may also appear in the upcoming Ascent three-row SUV, but outside of Subaru’s powertrain lineup, the free-breathing flat-six is nearly as dead as the Tucker 48 and the Chevrolet Corvair, now that Porsche has followed the downsize and turbocharge it path. Like others, it is expected that this model is going to rock the market. We are keeping our spirits high and hope for the best. Let us see with the time what people give remarks for it.
