The Subaru Exiga – Can’t Keep It Underwraps For Ever

Spencer Stark — Fri, 30 May 2008 10:00:42 +0000

The Subaru Exiga has been spotted out in California undergoing some tests. The barely disguised Exiga has a very sleek and sharp look about it that clearly displays Subarus racing heritage. As is apparent from the photos the Exiga will be a large MPV style vehicle designed to fit 7 adults comfortably. The exiga is also rumored to be equipped with a panoramic glass roof, fold-out tables, and flat-panel TVs. On the outside the Exiga boasts a hood scoop borrowed from the Impreza STi as well as a rear spoiler and split twin tailpipes giving the car a very sproty look and feel overall.

As far as performance goes we will have to wait until the official unveiling on June 17th. Subaru will more then likely market this super-wagon as a luxury alternative to traditional cross-overs and wagons. The Exiga is expect to go on the market in Japan by the end of the summer, in Europe by the end of the year and in America, well nothing has been said for the United States yet, but we can expect to see this vehicle sooner or later.

SRT’s Jeep Muscle Car

William Swavely — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:41:02 +0000

When you think about Jeep, I doubt you will be thinking muscle car. I will be the first to admit the first thing that pops into my head is a rock-crawling monster, but the nice folks at SRT (Street and Racing Technology) had a different idea. With the aftermarket offroad parts booming for every vehicle in the Jeep lineup, the team at SRT decided to push the Jeep Cherokee into the muscle car arena.

The SRT8 Cherokee joined the Jeep lineup in 2006. It comes standard with a SRT 6.1 Liter Hemi. The SRT8 is a full-time 4-wheel drive vehicle that boasts 420 hp and 420 lb./ft. of torque. Jeep claims an amazing 0-60 in less than 5 seconds – wet or dry! The offset tire sizes, front facia, and rear center exhaust definately give the SRT Cherokee that fast car look.

Muscle car status doesn’t come cheap, but then again, does it ever? The 2008 SRT8 Cherokee starts at $41,455, but don’t expect the bucks to stop there. At 11 mpg/city and 14 mpg/hwy, the SRT8 is going to be one of those toys that isn’t for the faint of wallet. With the power and speed to make a Porsche driver cringe, does cost really matter? As of now, there are no plans for the 2009 Jeep stable, but I am looking forward to seeing more of the SRT8 Cherokee.
