The Tokyo Motor Show->ke1834 is shaping up quite nicely, and Subaru->ke86 will be on hand to present a handful of concepts, including one that's Suby is calling the LEVORG Concept.

The etymology of the LEVORG name apparently was taken from a combination of "Legacy", "revolution", and "touring," a three-name combo that leaves us a little confused, honestly.

But hey, it's Subaru's concept so we're going to stick with what its decisions for it are, including the name.

The Japanese automaker is touting the LEVORG Concept as a "sports tourer" that will serve as a preview for a production model that will be launched next year in Japan, with the possibility of getting some international love if vehicle meets the company's expectations.

Subaru also released a handful of teaser photos of the LEVORG Concept->ke169 and from the images, it looks like the tourer carries the same design language that Subaru is using these days on a handful of its new models, including those slanted headlights that we also saw on the 2013 Subaru WRX Concept. A fancy set of alloy wheels are also part of the concept's package, as will be a horizontally-opposed 1.6-liter turbocharged engine.

No details on performance numbers have been released but we imagine the car to get something along the lines of 150 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque.

2012 Subaru Impreza

When Subaru introduced the 2012 Impreza at the 2011 New York Auto Show->ke226, it did so with the belief that the car's new design would propose roomier cabin space with new level of comfort and refinement for enhanced product appeal.

In some ways, the Impreza did just that and accomplishing it with the aide of a 2.0-liter, horizontally-opposed four-cylinder producing 148 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, a smaller engine than its previous incarnation, but far more efficient as far as fuel returns were concerned.
