As everybody knew before the official press launch at the L.A. Auto Show, Subaru unveiled a redesigned WRX and a brand new Legacy Concept. Celebrating 25 years of Legacy, the new Concept was easily the more handsome of the two and drew more attention. The car has a very sturdy look to it. It looks firm, but it’s a bit bloated to accentuate certain curvatures. The enormous hex grille, the layered, piercing headlamps, the built in spoilerish rear lid all looks fantastic, but there’s still one thought that’s on everybody’s mind. With the WRX sitting right next to it, they’re forced to be skeptical, after seeing what the original WRX Concept was widdled down to. Everybody’s afraid the exact same thing is going to happen.

Debuting at the LA Auto Show, it is expected to herald a new future of small-ish American trucks. Similar, though not identical, to the global Chevy Colorado sold around the world, the new Colorado fills a space that’s largely been abandoned by the major automakers since Ford discontinued the Ranger and Dodge and Chevy outsourced their small trucks to Asian builders.

 

This red beauty is a plug-in diesel hybrid with fuel economy estimated at 261 mpg. Alongside this two-person ride, Volkswagen presented the Twin Up! Concept, adopting the XL-1 powertrain at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show the twin up.
