Subaru sports cars

The Legacy took Subaru into top-level rallying, starting at the 1990 Safari Rally and taking its first world championship win in New Zealand in 1993 (sources 1, 2). The Impreza went on sale in Japan in November 1992, with the WRX version from the start (source 3), and the rally team switched to it for 1994 (source 1). The first STI-badged Impreza came in late 1993 by Wikipedia's account, or 1994 by Subaru's (sources 1, 3). The SVX was a grand tourer, built from 1991 to 1996 (source 4), and the BRZ, developed jointly with Toyota, added a rear-wheel-drive coupe in 2012 (source 5).
