Subaru Outback

The new Subaru Outback AWD is displayed in World premiere at the Japanese carmaker's booth on March 5, 2013 on the press day of the Geneva car Show in Geneva. The Geneva International Motor Show opened its doors to the press under a dark cloud, with no sign of a speedy rebound in sight for the troubled European market. The event, which is considered one of the most important car shows of the year, will again be heavily marked by the crisis in Europe after an already catastrophic year in 2012.

About Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback is a station wagon manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries since 1995. Its original concept originated with Subaru of America, which was suffering from slumping sales in the mid-1990s partly due to a lack of an entry in the then-burgeoning sport utility vehicle market. Lacking the finances to design an all-new sport utility vehicle, Subaru decided to add body cladding and a suspension lift to their Legacy wagon. Christened the Legacy Outback, after the rugged areas of Australia, Australian actor Paul Hogan was the spokesman in the North American market, playing off the Australian name of the vehicle and portraying the vehicle as a capable and more efficient alternative to larger, truck-based SUVs.
