New York 2012: Subaru XV Debuts, Legacy 2.5GT Gone

Subaru debuted their new compact crossover and their refreshed Legacy and Outback. As you're probably already aware, the changes to Subaru's mid size mainstays are more than superficial. However, they're not very dramatic.

The new DOHC Boxer 4 is good for a 1mpg improvement on the highway. The biggest news from an enthusiast standpoint is that the 2.5GT model is making a quiet exit. Another manual transmission notes the dust.

The Subaru XV compact crossover slots in where the previous Impreza-based Outback Sport once fit. Boasting the same ground clearance of the Outback with a smaller footprint, the XV should suit the northeastern SAAB replacement buyer quite nicely.
