Our old '97 Outback wagon got 22-28 mpg with a NA 2.5L engine and 4-speed auto. I know that I've gained weight since we got the old wagon but not enough to account for the mpg difference.

Why does Subaru always show there proposed cars in some irridescent orange color (BAJA) and then they do not have an orange color for the production models, even as an extra cost option.?

The Toyota Matrix/Voltz thing you mention is described as a Sporty Hatchback, and is based on the Corolla platform, very much a smaller vehicle.

This Exiga is described as a Wagon, and seems to be to be a variant of the Legacy Estate, probably based on your Outback platform.

Having had a look at the concept car photos in the 40th Tokyo show, I want one!!

If they put the turbodiesel engine in that thing, it will sell by the shipload over here. I would prefer the turbopetrol, but I'll take either.
