SUBARU
It seems as though Toyota’s inclination to stick with its hybrid strategy has affected SUBARU (which Toyota partially owns) with reports that the Japanese based company will bring out a hybrid version of the Subaru Impreza when the new model comes out in 2012. Although previous suggestions of a hybrid car were thought to be for the Legacy, Subaru insiders have suggested it will first be seen on the all-new Impreza. The news should not come as a surprise given Ikuo Mori, president of Subaru, recently declared that his company will introduce a new hybrid vehicle in 2012. Given the Impreza’s size and popularity it’s certainly the right choice to start with. With a diesel now in the lineup, Subaru is a brand on the move. A hybrid drivetrain based on the company’s boxer dieselengine could be a very interesting idea and can potentially produce much better results than similar systems found in Toyota hybrids.
