Does Subaru make a 4-door pickup

[Jim Stewart]

Besides the Baja? I was watching a television
show the other night, filmed in Iceland, and I
could have sworn the supervisor drove around in
a full-sized crewcab Subaru pickup. Does it
exist?

I live near Reykjavik and I've seen it driving around here (Iceland is a
small country - <300,000 people total). I wasn't aware Subaru made
anything like that either until I saw it. If I remember it right, it was
dark blue or two-tone blue/silver? Next time I see it, I'll try to flag
it down and ask them about it.

BTW -- according to Iceland's DMV equivalent, I own the only Baja ever
imported into the country; a 2003 US-spec 'Sport' model. The Icelanders
love Subarus, it seems every third car is a 2.2 Euro-spec Outback wagon.

Could it be a Subaru branded Chevy Avalanche?

Detecting a small amount of sarcasm there. The one I saw was not much
bigger than the Outback or Forester, but the features were squared off
rather than rounded. It appeared to be fairly new - 2-3 years old. It
definitley had the distinctive Subaru Pleiades five-star cluster badge on
the front grill.

I thought it was gray, but it was so dirty and the
scenes so short I could have been mistaken.

If you're talking about the hydroelectric dam documentary, I think
that was a Nissan you saw.

Nonetheless, I've seen a four-door pickup with a Subaru badge on the grille
running around here. It looks nothing like a Nissan or Toyota or
Mitsubishi or any other make. It could be that someone re-badged their
eastern european never-heard-of brand.

Ahhh....

Maybe the Nissan Titan? The Nissan logo could be mistaken for
Subaru.

I had originally thought of a Subaru Avalanche, as rumors have GM
putting more nameplates on Subies, and vice-versa. The Saab 9-2 is
reportedly only a beginning.

I work with a guy who glued BMW motorcycle badges into the circle of
his 1997 Nissan Frontier's grille & side logos.

The BMW pickup does get a fair share of looks at gas stations.
