Subaru of America, Inc. is the corporation in charge of the distribution, sales, marketing and servicing of cars produced by the Japanese company, Fuji Heavy Industries. Subaru cars are known for their standard all-wheel drive (making these cars very popular in snowy regions) and mid-range pricing. As of 2011, Subaru of America, Inc. distributes one model of sport utility vehicle (SUV), two sedan or hatchback models, and a crossover model--all available with varying levels of customization--in the United States.
Sport Utility Vehicles
For the 2011 model-year, Subaru is producing one model of sport utility vehicle, the Forester. This is a small SUV that sports a near-complete redesign from pre-2010 models. According to Edmunds' review of the 2010 Subaru Forester, the vehicle scored high in safety tests and is a top pick in the highly-competitive, small SUV market.
Sedans and Hatchbacks
For the 2011 season, Subaru is producing two sedan models: the Legacy and the Impreza (which is also available as a four-door hatchback). The Legacy is a mid-size, four-door sedan which, like the Forester, sports a radical stylistic departure from its predecessors. The Legacy also boasts several different powertrain engine options, and a five out of five-star government crash test rating. The other sedan model made by Subaru is the Impreza. According to Edmunds' review of the 2010 Impreza, few other cars on the market have as many body style or engine choices.
Wagon
When it comes to vehicles, a car that combines the features of a sedan (a car-type chassis) with an SUV (large seating capacity and cargo area) is generally classified as a crossover. Subaru produces one crossover model, the Outback. The Subaru Outback has the chassis and fuel economy of a station wagon, with the cargo space and off-road capability of an SUV. In 2009, the Subaru Outback was named Motor Trend's Sport Utility vehicle of the year.
