Subaru is the automotive division of Japanese conglomerate Fuji Heavy Industries. The brand is known for its exclusive use of horizontally opposed boxer engines and standard all-wheel drive on most models. Toyota currently owns a 16.7-percent stake in Subaru's parent company and the two brands have already begun sharing production facilities in the U.S. and collaborating on a pair of rear-wheel-drive sports cars.

    Report: Fresh-faced 2014 Subaru Forester revealed in JDM brochure scans     1348585200

    Upon its introduction for 2008, we couldn't help but feel that the third-generation Forester was perhaps Subaru's most attractive design effort in many, many years.

    Few mainstream hot hatches have tugged as many heartstrings in the last decade or so than the Subaru WRX.
