Overseas model names - AU

[Spinifex]

AUSTRALIA:

Can somebody from US please describe exactly what your model lineup of
Subaru vehicles is?? Perhaps attach pix, or a link, for us overseas
readers who have never heard of a Justy, or an LL Bean ???

Here in Australia, we have the following models.

Current:
Liberty (Legacy)
Outback (jacked up Liberty - bigger bumpers, wheels, clearance etc)
Impreza, including WRX
Forester

Old vehicles:
SVX
Leone (L-Series)
Brumby (mini-utility)
RX Turbo (Turbo version of Leone)
DL 1800 (previous model to the L-Series Leone)

I can't think of any others at present - other readers may want to add
anything I have missed.

Many thanx Rhesus Monkey

I hope US readers think themselves lucky.... our range is pretty poor in
Australia compared to the models on offer in US.

Why, oh why, does Subaru Australia not import the Baja range. They look
awesome !!!

And why, oh why, do the Aussie spec models max out with the 2.0l
turbo??? Looks like the 2.0l (turbo & NA) just doesnt exist in US
market.... minimum engine size is 2.5l.

I think the 2.5l Turbo would be an awesome piece of machinery.

Except for the baseline WRX, it is a 2.0l turbo. You probably have a higher
horsepower version than do we in the states.

FWIW, US-spec "Outback Sport" = Impreza RV hatch in Australia.

Actually the Justy was available in Australia for a few years a long time
ago.
You might remember it. A tiny hatch, size of Suzuki alto, Daihatsu Cuore....

The 2.5 litre turbo is standard fitting to latest Aussie Forester XT (2004)
models - I believe 160 KW?

I have the 2 litre turbo Forester GT and power is "adequate" - the 2.5 litre
must be scary.

And what about Diesel in Subaru? In some markets Diesel is a great advantage
in fuel and maintenance costs.
