Subarus have always been a bit peculiar. From their exclusive use of horizontally opposed "boxer" engines and standard all-wheel drive to their trail-friendly wagons and turbo compacts with gigantic hood scoops and rear wings, the vehicles from Fuji Heavy Industries roll to the beat of a different drummer.
