Robert Downey Jr and Subaru Impreza in New Hollywood Blockbuster Due Date

In the new Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures production, Robert Downey Jr. plays a character that is in a race against time to get home for the birth of your child, using a Subaru Impreza. The comedy, directed by Todd Phillips, follows father-to-be Peter Highman (Downey Jr) as he tries to make his way home in time for his wife’s due date.

Highman therefore starts a road trip with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis – the Hangover), with the duo taking their hilarious road trip in a Paprika Red Pearl Impreza hatchback. The car, however ends up totaled.

“The AWD hatchback copes admirably with all that the duo can throw at it before its role in the movie ends dramatically, when, with the troublesome Tremblay at the wheel, it is inadvertently launched from a motorway flyover and lands on its roof on the road below (a seriously stern crash test for any car),” a Subaru statement reads.

A preview of the new Hollywood blockbuster can be watched by following this link. Due Date, already playing at worldwide cinemas, also co-stars Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx, and Michelle Monaghan.

All the naturally-aspirated Imprezas are powered by a 2.5-liter SOHC horizontally-opposed boxer engine that uses an i-Active Valve Lift System and has an output of 170 hp at 6,000 rpm.

The entire Impreza range features Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Vehicle Dynamics and Brake Assist as standard equipment. For the 2011 MY, the Impreza range has received two new exterior colors: Marine Blue Pearl and Sky Blue Metallic, while the Newport Blue color has been removed.
