Report: 2012 Subaru XV to replace Impreza Outback in the U.S. next year
The 2012 Subaru XV that you saw during the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show last month is headed to our shores. According to Subaru’s director of U.S. communications, Michael McHale, the Subaru XV will go on sale in the United States sometime in 2012 – but it will carry a different name.
The Subaru XV will be a replacement for the Impreza Outback, which is discontinued for the 2012 model year.
