Subaru's Denver Auto Show stand will spotlight 15 vehicles, including the 2011 Subaru Legacy.  An interactive, cutaway display of the Subaru Legacy will give visitors an opportunity to experience the all-wheel drive midsize sedan's spacious interior and the internal layout of the Subaru Boxer engine.  A second display will demonstrate Subaru's renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive – a standard feature in all current Subaru models.  Visitors to the Subaru stand can also check out the 4-door version of the rally-inspired 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the company's performance flagship model.  

"Those of us in the Denver area are lucky to have diverse geography, breathtaking scenery and countless beautiful days at our fingertips.  Needless to say, we like to get outdoors, and Subaru vehicles are known for reliably getting drivers wherever they want to go to enjoy all that this area has to offer," said Tony Graziano, western region vice president, Subaru of America.  "We're looking forward to the Denver Auto Show, where visitors will get the chance to see just why Subaru vehicles continue to set sales records."

Based on Polk US data, the Subaru Outback was the number one selling automobile in Colorado and top selling vehicle in Salt Lake City in 2010.  National sales records were set for February by Subaru's Legacy, Outback, Forester and Impreza.
