New Subaru SUV
I'm affraid of this new corporate grill, maybe it'll grow on me but not liking it so far. Overall this looks like a nice vehicle, but most likely nothing I will ever own.

My dad works for subaru, i saw these pictures months ago... thinking it was ugly at the time, and it would grow on me. But it didn't its still ugly, and the most expensive subaru.

Bummed, but bring on OU!
And another car company sells out...I wish SUVs would die. The Forester might be ugly but at least it was designed with an off-road purpose. This is just another people hauler aka minivan.

I think it's going to be one of those things that mostly just die hard Subaru fans will buy. Those people that love their Forester or Outback but want something bigger.

I knew that it had to be making more power at the wheels--btw--that Forester STI is badass. I would love to have either an EVO/STI/or XT as my second car--can't be my only cause they lack the sex appeal of an 8 or most traditional 2 door sports cars.

I here ya on that, so I went stupid. I just don't see anything other then the Impreza STI being sold here. The demand itself has decreased quite a bit on the STI, so it's unlikely. I was reading about the EVO MR, and I think that is a big waste of money. GO SUBARU, YOU RULE!! I just got a taste of my first snow fall in STI. With my all seasons I put on, that thing is really awesome in snow, and locking the diff to 50-50 makes it barrel through anything. Seeing barrels of salt on my STI is a lot more tolerable then on my RX8, so i can't complain. Just waiting for winter to end so I can get in my rx8.
