Until the year 2009 seems Subaru is still considered mid-size car that is worthy of being preserved and is now preparing to launch a generation in 2010.

There are some physical changes that took place in 2010, this generation compared to production in 2009. But perhaps most surprising is the size of an increasingly bloated. Yes, all the dimensions of this car is increasing. The length of the car has increased by about 3.5 cm, while width has increased by about 10 cm height 7.5 cm. Although the total length is only increased by about 3.5 cm, but the wheelbase of the car has increased significantly, by 7.5 cm.
