Never seen one of those before, like a Legacy cross Forester cross pick-up. Wonder how's it's name is actually pronounced as I'm just calling it the Badger.

There are definitely some in the UK. I think they proved popular in Australia... would make sense given the popularity of Utes. That could be urban myth though, I've never actually looked into it.

I really like them. Something a bit different... never heard anyone pronounce it "badger", but maybe that should stick. I think it's meant to be "ba-ha". I base that solely on a conversation with a chap who seemed to know a lot about them, so again, could be entirely wrong.

It's a gen 4 legacy outback with the back chopped off, I believe it was US market only though.

Yep, its pronounced ba-ha, and quite cool looking i think. Didn't know they were built in Indiana (according to the wiki link). I assume that meant they took a load of Legacy chassis already assembled in Japan and then just converted them in the US though.

That's interesting, as they don't all appear to be left hand drive, which implies conversion.
