Lafayette, IN – I have just returned from a mission for Auto123 to a three-headed Subaru event.

Inaugurated in 1988, this factory is big enough to produce 514,000 units per annum, and versatile enough for those to be Ascents, Outbacks, Legacys and Imprezas, as needed.

That last model constitutes goal number two of my mission, which was to test-drive the new 2020 edition of the Subaru lineup’s entry-level model, which benefits for the new year from a mid-cycle refresh.
 
Goal three was to take the wheel of the 2020 Crosstrek PHEV, the plug-hybrid version of the popular small SUV that is so highly anticipated in Subaru-loving Canada.

Auto123 launches Shopicar!  All new makes and models and all current promotions.
