Looks like the mitsubishi outlander.  Nothing to get excited about.
Subaru really needs to flush their design team and hire some new ones.

Look under the "Features" tab, there's a beautimous picture of an EJ25
engine head-on with the belt cover removed.

Still uses timing belt.  I see no improvement in the 09 motor

A little more horsepower and a bit more torque plus better gas mileage;
looks like improvements to me.

Obviously, Big Jim should be purchasing something more  closely engineered
to his liking. I might suggest he take a look at the new line of  Massey-
Ferguson tractors.  ;-)

thx for the link.

a lot of inspiration (interior) from Impreza. the brochure is nice, 24/7
idea is smart, it looks like the target buyer is a women.

looks that the back seat room is improved too.

Thanks.  I like it.  Style tending towards the crossovers but only
minor.
I had a '98 which was totaled and replaced by an '03 and recently
bought an '08 f
or my wife.  Only a discerning eye can tell the difference between
Forester model years
but improvements appear continuous and are under the hood.  Forester
competition is
tending toward crossover vehicles, which to me look like hatchbacks.
Always liked
hatchbacks but do not prefer over SUV.

I see Subaru did away with the frameless windows, not a big fan of
them, I know some folks like them but, they were a problem for me on
my 2000 Forester

Can you really tell on the 2009?

I think Subaru has a winner here.  The car looks very nice.

I love the panoramic windows, every car manufacturer
seems to follow the trend of building cars/suv's with these
ridiculous short or narrow windows, which make the car
look like a Loomis armoured vehicle, or some Hummer.

Brrrrr, the new 2009 Vibe and Scion are the ugliest examples:

The Forester is one beautiful car.
I hope to be buying the 2009 one day.

The vibe looks far nicer than the new subarus.  The new subes are
designed by women for women

:. The new subes are designed by women for women

Well, if that is true, then ot seems from the pictures that
they've done a splendid job on that 2009 Forester, but if
you are a fan of childish comic-book like American styling
then by all means get a GM.  A Monte Carlo, or an Impala,
or a Cobalt, or any Pontiac will do..  If you're into American
gangster themes get a Daimler-Chrysler product. If  you're
a GI Joe kinda type the Hummer is the ultimate toy for you.

To each his own.

Wow.  Not only are you homophobic, you're also misogynistic.
bigjimpack@gmail.com - 15 Jan 2008 23:50 GMT
No homo-phobic just homo-disgusted.  There are cars for women. We need
some manly cars too.
