Subaru arrives in Australia with new light car promise
A sophisticated familiaris drive yesterday left little doubt that the Subaru will significantly affect the light car market. Fully imported by LNC Indi of Sydney and built by Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru features a six-star bonnet emblem, four models, front wheel drive, independent suspension, and 9.0 to 9.8 compression engines. Prices start near 2998 dollars, with anticipated tariff cuts lowering about 100 dollars in October. Engines are quiet, with strong acceleration, good fuel economy around 30 mpg, and top speeds near 100 mph. The car offers rack and pinion steering, front discs, rear drums, and roomy luggage space, with six-month or 6,000-mile warranties. A detailed road test is planned once more units arrive.
