Sport Utility Wagon Now Even MoreVersatile The 2003 Subaru Outbackfeatures freshened styling and the addition of the OnStar wireless communication service. (NAPSA)—The nation’s bestselling station wagon is getting even better in the 2003 model year, with the addition of the OnStar in-vehicle wireless communication service as standard equipment. With its introduction in 1995, the Subaru Outback—the first “sport utility wagon”—ignited the trend in “crossover” type vehicles that blend attributes of passenger cars and sport utility vehicles. Now, with the addition of OnStar (standard on the four H6-3.0 mod- els), the Outback has become even moreversatile. In addition, all Outback models for 2003 feature freshened frontend styling, front suspension changes that improve ride and handling and refinements that enhance comfort and convenience. For example, the front suspension struts use internal rebound springs that reduce body roll when cornering, reduce dive while braking and reduce lift while accelerating. The Outback Wagon for 2003 adds as standard the formerly optional All-Weather Package that includes dual-mode heated front seats and a windshield wiper deicer. The standard AM/FM/weatherband stereo now includes a single-disc CD player. The Outback wagon models offer much of the utility of heavier truck-based vehicles. With the standard 60/40 split rear seatback, the wagon models provide 68.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The cargo area is equipped for realworld use, with a retractable cover, cargo area light, tie-down hooks, removable cargo tray and a 12-volt power outlet. The Outback’s ring-shaped reinforcement frame body structure with front and rear crumple zones is designed to provide protection in a variety of collisions, including frontal, offset, side and rear. Standard safety equipment includes three-point seatbelts for all five seating positions, four- channel, four-sensor anti-lock brakes and dualfront airbags.
