Subaru Weighs a New Baja, and the Time Seems Right

Subaru was ahead of the curve with its car-based Baja minitruck. The truck, like so many small and midsize truck options today, was based on a car's unibody construction. It offered a small, utilitarian option to buyers who didn't want the enclosed rear cargo area of an Impreza hatch or larger Outback wagon. Plus, enthusiasts loved the Baja Turbo for its 210-horsepower WRX-adjacent engine and five-speed manual transmission. Ultimately, the trucklet never took off, but never say never.
