Subaru expects the plant which makes Outback wagons, Legacy sedans and Tribeca crossovers to resume production no later than Wednesday.

And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
