JAPANESE car maker Subaru is preparing to wow the crowd at the infuential Geneva Motor Show in March with two new models.

First up is the firm’s hotly anticipated new sports coupe, the BRZ. Developed in co-operation with Toyota, this front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe promises affordable performance motoring for keen drivers. Powered by Subaru’s trademark horizontally-opposed 2.0-litre Boxer engine, this car is expected to deliver impressive levels of grip and handling thanks to the lowest centre of gravity of any production car.

Of equal importance will be the unveiling of Subaru’s fourth-generation Impreza. According to its maker, the car will boast superior reliability, handling and safety features, while its signature Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system and Boxer engine remain its core features.
