Early look: Subaru Exiga Concept

10/11/2007, 12:18 PM

By Drew Johnson

Subaru has released images of its Exiga Concept ahead of the car’s Tokyo Motor Show debut. While Subaru’s display will be highlighted by the debut of the Impreza STI, the Exiga could indicate the future styling of Subaru’s wagons — perhaps even the next-generation Legacy.

Power for the Exiga comes from a turbo-charged 2.0L boxer four, although Subaru failed to release any other details about the powertrain. The Exiga’s interior features a glass roof, white leather and a plethora of video screens.

Check back for more details after its official unveil.

Excited when I saw just the hood.
Are there not already enough Subaru wagons?

It’s Legacy/Outback with smaller rear quoter window. Yep. sort of like Matrix. Look ma, there are 2 TVs: one for kids in the back and pornos for daddy!

aside from the blue accent and the overdone scoop, I like the front. The side profile should be a little brawnier… a more prominent beltline and bulkier fender flares might help.

The back end doesn’t really do it for me. The tail lamps look great, but the diffusers are kind of cheesy for this type of car.
please give this car some hips, or make the roofline more sporty.

If they have used that front on the new Impreza, they’d probably be sold out right now. What the hell, they can do modern production-like designs on their concepts but not on the actual cars?

not bad from the front or rear, but from the side looks like every other ugly subaru

Veda has a great point, the concept front end looks great, unlike the new production Impreza. This will be a great competitor when it’s released if they keep the 3rd row seat option. It will be a tough competitor versus the other bogus crossovers that are way too large.

I love the interior even though it will never make it to production. The rest of the car is OK looking.

Blech, ugly as hell. What the **** is wrong with Subaru’s design group?

Uhh, it looks EXACTLY like a Honda. Or somewhere between a Honda and Acura designwise.

Subaru Forester?

I don’t understand how Subaru can even get those (Subaru Foresters) off the lots! They are the most ugliest vehicles I have ever seen, nothing but a box, with quick fading paint, ugly interior and such an uninspiring design!

And yet, there’s something in this that evokes the same response about the Subaru Forester. It’s got a quickly inclining windshield/A pillar, tall roof and the back is very flat. The rest of Subarus designs are more seemless and much better, so why not this one (or the Forester)?

The windshield is far too upright. I’d be horribly disappointed if it was to show up on the next production Legacy.

It does look more in line with the next Forester. The grille on the current Forester is nasty! Overall, this is a nice concept. I see some Toyota in it though. How could Toyota be affecting product design since it was that long ago that they attained controlling shares in Subaru.

Anyway, design was never a strong suit for Subie. It has always been AWD and Boxer.

Completely incoherent on the outside, much like every one of Subaru’s recent designs. Have they forgotten how to make cars that are a good kind of ugly?

The concept interior doesn’t flow with the exterior at all, whoever designed it should be fired.

The front end on this thing is what they should’ve put on the Impreza STI.

We were told yesterday by our district rep that this is pretty much a “go” for the 2010 Outback, from the beltline up. Sheetmetal work/design below is still up in the air. Can’t say I’m thrilled with the front end, but I don’t mind the profile.
