Subaru is known worldwide for their use of boxer engine layout used in automobiles, Volkswagen Beetle and Porsche 911, in most of their vehicles over 1500cc, and use of all-wheel drive transmission layout, the first time in 1972, which became the standard for midsize and smaller cars in most international markets in 1996.
