	TechnoFILE Drives the Subaru Baja
		Subaru has the courage to march to its own drum, and you can’t fault a company for showing gumption.
		The Baja was almost as big a crowd pleaser as the Hummer H2 “brute ute” and more so than the Honda Insight hybrid I had driven earlier, both of which are also rather unique.
		Okay, the Subaru Baja is unlikely to win a beauty contest, though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it does what it’s designed to do very well, and that’s what the bottom line should always be about.

	PickupTruck.com - 2003 Subaru Baja: First Drive
		The Baja is based on the same platform as Subaru's Legacy/Outback -- a car platform rather than a truck chassis, rendering it as more of a sport sedan with an open pickup bed than as a traditional SUV.
		Baja is unique in that it has no direct competitors and fills a specialized niche, with a sporty, playful look about it that should appeal to non-truck folks, while providing truck-like versatility and functionality.
		Baja will be offered in two fully equipped configurations: a five-speed manual transmission model, or a four-speed electronic automatic transmission version.

	2003 Subaru Baja -- Road Test Review, New Car Review on 2003 Subaru Baja -- ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		Described by Subaru as "a new type of crossover vehicle that blends the versatility of a compact four-door pickup with the driving dynamics and comfort of a passenger car," the Baja is the Brat reincarnated but with more thought-out practicality and versatility.
		The Baja is based on the Legacy platform, and shares its 104.3-inch wheelbase with the Legacy Outback wagon.
		The Baja, thanks to its size, is more user friendly than the Avalanche, since average height people can actually reach inside the bed instead of needing a stepladder to do any cargo loading/unloading.

	2004 Subaru Baja Turbo
		Baja Turbo is the third version of the brand's unique crossover vehicle that blends the versatility and ruggedness of a compact 4-door pickup truck with the driving dynamics, safety and comfort of a passenger car.
		Baja Turbo is the third new turbocharged model that Subaru has introduced for 2004 MY: Forester 2.5 XT was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show, and the 300-horsepower Impreza WRX STi at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.
		The key to the Subaru Baja models' versatility is the Subaru-designed Switchback(R) system that provides the ability to reconfigure the rear seating area, as well as the cargo bed, to meet a variety of needs when transporting people and cargo.

	CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2003 Subaru Baja
		In the tradition of the Subaru Brat, Chevrolet El Camino, Ford Ranchero, Dodge Omni, and VW Rabbit, the new Subaru Baja is a cross between a car and a pickup truck.
		Bajas with the four-speed automatic transmission feature a different system: an electronically managed, continuously variable transfer clutch which sends 60% of the power to the front wheels and 40% to the rear, sometimes rising to 50/50 in slippery conditions.
		Subaru says the Baja is capable of towing trailers up to 1088 kg (2400 lb.), but with its limited power, I would expect performance and acceleration to be mediocre with a trailer in tow.

	First Drive: 2003 Subaru Baja (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Subaru is bringing the all-new 2003 Baja to market for the same reason you pocket that Leatherman every day — because when you climb behind the wheel every morning, you'll always have the right kind of tool for whatever the day will bring.
		While the Baja Switchback system has a fixed glass window, and not the retractable rear window seen in the Subaru ST-X concept vehicle, it nevertheless adds a functional amount of cargo area with a minimal hassle factor.
		Subaru tells us that additional accessories are still in development and will include a Subaru bike rack and a lockable hard tonneau bed cover from an aftermarket supplier.

	CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2003 Subaru Baja
		Baja is built on the Subaru Legacy/Outback platform, but is longer than those models by 152 mm (six inches).
		Although the Baja is not an off-road vehicle, there was an opportunity to run it through an off-road slalom, where it performed with the same composure experienced on the highway.
		The Subaru Baja may work for enough people to make it success, but a full road test will more effectively determine whether this compromise between a wagon and a truck is a winner or an automotive footnote.

	The All New Subaru Baja (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Baja’s compact, integrated cargo bed is long (41.5 inches) and wide (49 inches) enough to swallow all kinds of gear – from home-improvement supplies to camping gear to sporting goods – with ease.
		Subaru thoughtfully engineered the Switchback cargo bed door into the rear of the Baja’s cab, giving it the quick, easy-to-use convertibility of a Swiss Army Knife.
		The Baja’s sturdy unibody frame was designed around the Subaru All-Wheel Drive system for outstanding stability and surefootedness in most types of weather and driving conditions.

	2003 Subaru Baja - The Car Connection
		Then there is the Outback Subaru, which sells sedans, station wagons and the Forester small SUV to suburbanites who don't need true off-road ability but like the look and crave the all-weather security of all-wheel drive.
		The Baja definitely belongs to that second aspect of Subaru's schizoid personality; it yells off-roader in its decoration while offering a new riff on the ancient car-as-truck formula (see everything from Model T pickups to the El Camino).
		One suspects that a reason Subaru keeps the rear window in place is to maintain the stiffness of the unibody structure which is something Chevrolet doesn't have to worry about on the full-frame Avalanche.

	Subaru Baja Reviews and Ratings - 2003 Subaru Baja
		New for 2003, the Subaru Baja is a crossover vehicle that is, in its simplest terms, a four door sedan mated to a small pickup bed.
		Subaru will tell you that its Baja is for people who don't want to own a truck, but want some of the characteristics of a truck, including higher ride height and flexible cargo space.
		While Subaru had no comment about the possibility of a second engine for the Baja, it wouldn't be too surprising to see the option introduced for the 2004 or 2005 model year.

	Subaru Baja Reviews and Ratings - 2004 Subaru Baja Turbo
		Subaru made its name as a builder of all wheel drive vehicles that valued function and traction more than passion or fashion.
		Baja is essentially an Outback wagon from nose to back of cabin, with a short pickup bed behind, in place of the, um, covered wagon.
		An automatic equipped Baja with standard four cylinder is EPA rated at 21 mpg's city/28 highway, while the boosted versions measure 18/23.

		Subaru has carried it into the future with their All-Wheel Drive Subaru Baja.

	Subaru Baja Custom Wheels
		Subaru figures that the Baja will appeal to those wanting utility without the harsh ride and poor fuel economy that often come with it.
		Most importantly, the Baja's cargo bed can be extended by using the "Switchback" midgate feature, similar to the design found on the Cadillac Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche.
		The Baja has limited appeal, but for those who need about half the open-bed cargo utility of a truck as well as a vehicle that rides like a car, the Baja will suit them just fine.

		The new Baja, which for federal CAFE purposes is classified as a light truck, possesses the Outback's hood, headlights, front fenders, doors, wheelbase, and 165-horse SOHC four-cylinder boxer.
		There, the Baja responds like a modern husband, begging to be pitched and tossed and generally cuffed about until loose items in the bed fly out and someone loses an eye.

	Subaru Baja truck: options, prices, colors, all years. Seattle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Available in late August 2002, the all new 2003 Subaru Baja is designed to combine the practicality of a truck and comfort of a 4 door car with high-riding "rugged road" all-wheel-drive capability.
		The concept vehicle shown in 2000 was called the ST-X ("Subaru truck xperimental") and had a SPT supercharged 230hp 6 cylinder engine, 8.5" ground clearance, dual range high/low 4x4 system, a canvas manually retractable sunroof, and the ability to carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood.
		The Baja production vehicle is based on the Legacy platform with the 165hp 4 cylinder 2.5L engine, and the running gear, brakes, interior, dashboard and high-riding suspension of the Legacy Outback, and of course the rear bed of a pick-up truck.

	Review - SUBARU BAJA
		According to Subaru, "The Baja will be the only vehicle of this kind in the market; there was no success formula to follow.
		As a Subaru mid-size passenger car, it should be a winner on the highway and on mildly rough trails.
		The Baja is a vehicle you can take on long trips as a great-handling family sedan, but it will also haul home mulch and lumber from the home store.

	2004 Subaru Forester/Baja Turbo - The Car Connection
		The Baja Turbo also gets new six-spoke 16-inch wheels and P215/60R-16 tires, but the suspension (struts in front, a multi-link system in the back) has been raised slightly to give the vehicle a more off-roadish looking.
		The Baja's cockpit is nicely laid out and beautifully made and the ride is well controlled, but it's still tough to figure out much to do with the tiny 41.5-inch bed, even if it can be extended into the cockpit through "Switchback" rear bulkhead and out across the open tail gate thanks to an extender.
		The least expensive Baja Turbo should be a couple more thousand than that, and it will be the Baja to have if one's going to have a Baja (it goes on sale in the fall).
