I also think the Subie Outback was in the radar sites.  That car is basically
a Legacy wagon with a (faux) hood scoop and other similar stuff crusting
the exterior, and raised an inch or 2 with a squishy suspension and tall balloon tires*.  Legacy sales were/is ho-hum,
Outback is wildly popular.

Reminds me of a cartoon, showing a meeting at a sports footware company:
"When we first introduced this shoe at $29.99 we couldn't sell any".
"After adding a racing stripe and raising the price to $99.99, sales went
through the roof"

But all seriousness aside, the AllRoad is clearly more than an Avant with
some body work.  The adjusting suspension in particular sounds interesting.
