The Subaru Suiren Original name : スバルスイレン - was a concept made by Fuji Heavy Industries - It was proposed as a sport utility wagon / stylish touring pickup with a detachable canopy and large 'indestructible' plastic windows, allowing it to be turned into a sport utility wagon. The Suiren appeared to be a direct replacement for the BRAT / Brumby / MV Pick-up - however as it was a concept-only model, it was never officially developed any further.
The name Suiren is Japanese for Water Lily - a reference to activities in lakes & woodlands.[1]
