No, friends, we won't be getting the new Subaru Levorg in the US.

But that doesn't mean there aren't a few things we can learn from Subaru's new sporty wagon, which officially debuted Wednesday at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show .First, a bit of background.

The New Jersey escorts current Levorg -- the name, by the way, isn't French for "The Vorg," but instead, a portmanteau of the words "Legacy," "evolution" and "touring" -- has been on sale since 2014, and is currently available in Japan and Europe.

The current model shares its platform with the last-generation Legacy, and uses several different engines, including the one found in the WRX sedan.
