are we missing out on Subaru OS models ?

Post by steptoe » Tue Oct 16, 2012 6:30 pm

Just wondering if anyone knows the entire range of Subarua in manufacture in last few years and wondering if we in Oz are missing out on things maybe such as smaller commercials or flat eights or something or options like we have missed in the past like 4WD MY sedans, turbo EA81 Brumbys, turbo L wagons and the older mini commercial vans etc ?
