Subaru has just announced it will campaign a pair of race-ready Levorg Sport Tourer wagons in the 2016 British Touring Car Championships this year.

The Levorg, a wagon based on the Impreza platform, will be Subaru’s first foray in to the hugely popular British racing series. In spirit, Levorg most closely resembles the dearly departed, non-Outback Legacy Wagon. It debuted in Japan for the 2014 model year, and is making its way to the UK. Sadly, it is not expected to make landfall in the US.

While powered by a tuned version of Subaru’s turbocharged, 2.0-liter boxer four, the drivetrain will be modified. The Levorgs will be converted from Subaru’s trademark all-wheel-drive to rear-whee-drive as per BTCC rules.

Piloting the Levorg Sport Tourer under the Team BMR banner will be Colin Turkington and Jason Plato, who may be known to Americans from his role as a presenter on the Fifth Gear television program. “Part of my role when joining BMR was to help secure a manufacturer deal,” Plato told Touring Car Times. “The iconic Subaru brand has always been right at the top of my wish list.” The deal will last three years, so expect to see more wagons on British circuits.

While a wagon may seem like an unusual choice, Subaru wagons — “estates” in British parlance — have a strong following in the UK, and the presence of a wagon trading paint with Fords, BMWs and Audis is not unprecedented. A Volvo 850 wagon famously competed in BTCC in 1994, and more recently Honda ran a Civic Tourer.

Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to sell the C-Class station wagon in Canada.

Launched at the 2014 Paris Auto Show, the 185-inch long C wagon is nearly identical to its four-door sedan counterpart from the tip of the front bumper to the B-pillar. Beyond that it gains a long, sloping roof line accented by brushed aluminum roof rails, a curved D-pillar, elegant horizontal tail lamps, and a roof-mounted spoiler. Like the sedan, the wagon can be ordered with one of two different grille designs.

The family-friendly C offers 17.3 cubic feet of trunk space with five passengers on board and 53.3 cubes with the second row of seats folded flat.

Mercedes will offer a diesel-burning version of the wagon called C300d. It will be equipped with a 2.1-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine tuned to send 201 horsepower and a stout 369 lb-ft. of torque to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system. Steel springs will come standard, and an air suspension will be available as an option.

Pricing information will be published closer to the C-Class station wagon’s launch date. At the time of writing Mercedes isn’t planning on selling its smallest station wagon in the United States due to low demand, though a C300d sedan will go on sale in the coming months.

Mercedes-Benz has once again hinted it’s developing a rugged, high-riding station wagon aimed squarely at the Audi allroad.

Tentatively badged All-Terrain, the model will be based on the station wagon version of the all-new 2017 E-Class (pictured) that debuted earlier this week at the Detroit Auto Show. It will stand out from its regular-production counterpart thanks to a noticeably raised ground clearance, black plastic trim on the wheel arches and on the rocker panels, as well as brushed aluminum accents on both ends.

Power will be provided by gasoline- and diesel-burning four- and six-cylinder engines sourced directly from the Mercedes-Benz parts bin, and the wagon will come standard with the company’s time-tested 4Matic all-wheel drive system. Beefy skid plates will protect vital mechanical components on both ends of the car, and the wagon could ship with Mercedes’ AirMatic air suspension system.

Australian website Motoring reports Mercedes’ rugged wagon will be introduced alongside the regular wagon in June, and it will go on sale across Europe either later this year or early next year. Whether the wagon will be sold on our side of the Atlantic, where wagon sales are steadily declining, is an open question.

Nissan’s website has been taken down following a cyberattack. The hacker collective Anonymous has claimed responsibility for the outage, citing a protest campaign to save whales and dolphins.

The hacking was targeted at Nissan’s global and Japanese websites. Anonymous says it was acting on behalf of the OpWhales campaign, which seeks to spread awareness about the practice of hunting whales and dolphins for food. Japan, Norway and Iceland are the only three countries in the world where whaling is allowed, and Japan is also the primary dolphin hunting nation in the world today.

It is unclear, however, what link Nissan has to whaling and dolphin hunting, if any. The self-identified “hacktivist” group appears to have targeted Nissan due to its status as a prominent company headquartered Japan. Once its sites were compromised, Nissan took them down voluntarily, saying it wanted to protect customer data from a potential leak.

Anonymous is a leaderless hacker collective that uses their cyber skills for causes it deems are for the greater public good. In recent years, it has gone after those it deems responsible for the shootings in Paris, as well as killings of unarmed African Americans at the hands of US police.

As of the time of this writing, Nissan’s Japanese and global websites are still down and have been for over 24 hours.
