In anticipation of its debut at the L.A. Auto Show, Subaru has !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the new Ascent 3-row crossover. Sometimes when car companies do these shadowy teaser shots, a little shadow recovery can reveal the rest of the car. But Subaru fully blacked out the bottom half of the Ascent in this rendering.

Here’s the original image from which I still was able to at least get some more detail of the top half of the Ascent.

But no matter how much I crank up the shadow recovery into the land of extreme shadow recovery , there’s nothing there but pervasive, empty darkness.

Subaru really wants to make us wait until later today when the whole car debuts, I guess.

I’m prepared to see loads of these running around here in Madison, just like every other Subaru model that’s not one of the fun ones.

In the interest of full Subaru disclosure, this is my wife’s Impreza:

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the secret reason why Subaru is obscuring the bottom half of the car!

But which one?

Probably going to look like a current Outback anyway.

So its going to be a taller, longer outback. Good, thats exactly what they needed.

Guess: some sort of genito-anal caricature adorning the bottom half. Not sure what they’ll call it, but maybe OutbackDownfront.

Sooooo it’s a slightly longer Outback?

It’s also probably taller and wider. It’s an Outback that’s slightly bigger in all dimensions.

Who says crossovers have to have 4 wheels

Once this is out can they make the Outback a car again?

So hopefully useful big cars will be the trend again, I mean if ur gonna a have a big car might as well have 3 rows.

You’re saying this as if 3-row crossovers are some kind of new vehicle concept.

Not really, I just find big cars with 2 rows kinda pointless, I’d much rather just buy a wagon.

Giant wheels? Check.

Excessive flame surfacing? Check.

If it turns out to be the Subaru Ascent Tron Light Cycle Edition you drew, I will buy one.

So, it seats seven like a Subaru Exiga, but it’s less cool.

Also let’s not forget the first ever third-row Subaru, which was actually a Vauxhall.

Long story.

yep - a “Foresterized” Legacy, (as opposed to the Impreza based Forester.) I’m more interested in that new turbo 2.4 that it’s supposed to have...
