Subaru has unveiled for Japanese markets the latest in a long line of wagons, the Subaru DEX.

Mostly a redressed Toyota bB / Diahatsu Coo / Materia / etc with a 1.3L 4-speed automatic powerplant. Priced at $14,811 to $19,438.

I'm not quite sure why Subaru doesn't bring this to the United States, it could battle right along side the Scion xB and help boost Subaru's hip, econo image.

I just want a damn RWD boxer platform.

How amazing would that be? Seriously properly designed RWD boxer engine. Thing would handle unbelievable. I can only wish though. Imagine it.... access panels for access to the heads. Double wishbone front suspension. Caster angle galore. YUM YUM
