Will Subaru ever make a ute?
Let’s just get this straight – there are no plans for a Subaru ute.

Why does the Subaru Brumby have a tonneau cover?
Subaru’s thinking on the tonneau cover was that it allowed the owner to install a roll bar behind the cabin, something that was very popular in America. The other reason was that the American version had two rearward facing seats bolted to the pick up bed. Unfortunately Australian Design Rules mean that they were unavailable on the home market.
What did the Brumby look like when it first came out?
When you first saw the Brumby, it looked like their four-wheel-drive station wagon, but with the roof cut off. In fact, the Brumby’s advertising campaign was built around just that. By making that basic alteration to what, particularly in this country, was a very successful concept, Subaru created almost an entirely new concept.
Is the Brumby a two wheel drive car?
On the bitumen, in two-wheel-drive, the Subaru displayed typical front wheel drive characteristics, with power-on understeer and power-off oversteer. Unfortunately with an empty rear tray the Brumby was somewhat skittish. Appointments and comforts were up to typical Japanese standards, and they managed to retain their value very well.
