2005 SUBARU OUTBACK

Beware the beaten path. It is the path of

followers, not leaders. Of tourists, not

explorers. It is the road traveled by those

more trusting of convention than invention.

And it is not the path of Subaru. Because

for over three decades we have blazed

our own trail, building the kind of cars

people depend on every day. Capable

THE UNION OF POWER, INNOVATION AND PRACTICALITY.

cars. Rational cars. Intelligent cars.

We introduced America to the beauty of

All-Wheel Drive. We proved ourselves on

rally courses around the world, but our

journey never truly ends, it merely evolves.

As do we, with cars that offer more than

mere capability. Much more. They are

stylish. Powerful. Exhilarating. They

ignite passion. In this way, we constantly

push the boundaries. Continually

redefining what a Subaru can be.

Is it rational to become emotionally

attached to a car? Or is it only natural?

For example, consider the adventurous

all-new 2005 Subaru Outback. Redesigned,

reengineered and reinvigorated to

deliver world-class levels of performance

and capability, it is far more than a

smarter alternative to the SUV. It is a

driving experience that inspires passion.

Devotion. Elation. And a sense of freedom

all its own. All Outback models feature

our innovative horizontally opposed

Subaru Boxer engine with Symmetrical

All-Wheel Drive for unsurpassed

power, safety and handling. A host

of thoughtful amenities. And that

legendary go-anywhere, do-anything

spirit that could only come from Subaru.
