There are a lot of things you can do with your car. All you need are the following resources. And for the Subaru, a couple of concept vehicles will be showcased at the 2009 SEMA Show from November 3 to 6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center which are sure to surprise and make motorists drool in envy. The concept cars up for showing are a custom-built Subaru Imprezza WRX STI and Legacy VIP.

The Subaru Imprezza WRX STI should be a great trip to see how some add-ons can totally change the design features of this vehicle, with some help of course from the SPT catalog. For the Legacy VIP, combines the SPT with some of the VIP rants that deliver luxury enjoyment in a vehicle with class. Topping all of this is the Subaru Micro Van, a special SPT delivery van that promises to deliver go-fast parts very slowly via a 25 horsepower complement.

Sure, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon is cool but the 5-speed automatic gearbox will have JDM fans displeased with the vehicle. Now, Subaru has again taken center stage to show us their Legacy B4 GT300, a vehicle that will appear in the Japanese Super GT series at some point next year.

This vehicle features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine capable of 300 hp, all-wheel drive, 6-speed sequential transmission and weighs in at just about 2800 lbs.

As the Super GT series rolls closer we will most likely be hearing more of the Legacy B4 GT300.

Those looking to get a more economical vehicle will might want to set their eyes on the 2010 Subary Legacy which sports a EPA of 31 mpg highway and 23 in town on the 2.5i model with CVT transmission.

Also offered is a 6MT transmission with 27 mpg highway and 19 in town. The Legacy 2.5 GT with manual tranmission and the 3.6R with 5-speed auto will net you 25mpg on the highway and 18 in town.

Whatever model you choose you’re getting AWD, room for 5 passengers and enough power to please any motor head (ok maybe not any). But you’ll get all of this at a modest $19,995.

According to Myers Motors, this is a car, but due to its classification (because of its three wheels) it is considered a motorcycle. So which is which? Well regardless, the good news is that this company has gotten able investment backers as Jumpstart Ventures Investment has committed $250,000 to the manufacturing of electric vehicles.

The car is christened the NmG (No More Gas), a single passenger vehicle that can travel on highways and can reach speeds of up to 75 mph. One charge allows it to run 60 miles. If you look at it, the NmG may be ideal for 80 percent of Americans who commute to and from work alone and accommodate nearly half of Americans’ travel needs beyond work, which include errands and other day-to-day activities done solo as well.

JumpStart Venture Partner Mark Smith will be working with the company and is excited about its position in the market. “There is a race underway to create cost competitive all-electric vehicles and the Myers Motors team has an incredible head start,” said Smith. “Not only did they inherit a legacy of market knowledge and design from the predecessor company, they are already producing and selling vehicles. And the two-passenger vehicle (called NmG2) currently under development will provide Myers Motors with a significant competitive advantage in this quickly emerging market.”

The fifth-generation Outback and Legacy (Liberty) were recently revealed and to coincide with the car’s launch in Japan, Subaru has added the sporty B4 and the new Touring wagon to the lineup. It should be noted that the B4 name only applies to a sports package in this case, not a high-performance twin-turbo model as in the past. This new Touring model carries over the same styling found on the sedan version as well as borrowing the same engine lineup as its sedan sibling, which means the base engine is a 2.5L unit rated at 170hp.  Also available will be a 265hp turbocharged version of the same engine for the Legacy 2.5GT wagon. Filling out the range will be the Legacy 3.6R wagon, which comes with a 256hp 3.6L engine.

The Touring model is also bigger in almost every way compared with the outgoing model. The length, width and even storage space have all increased in size. As for the B4, that sporty sedan is based on the 265hp 2.5GT turbocharged powertrain but comes with a range of subtle performance touches such as a distinct bodykit and 18in wheels.  Both the new Touring and B4 are expected to reach the U.S. by the end of the year and pricing is expected to start off near the sedan’s base price of $19,995.
