The old ones were ugly in a cool sort of way. These are just ugly.]]>Dec 17th 2007 3:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 3:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 4:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/
My Legacy has an upgraded version of this... it is not bad, and subarus are already lighter weight than most of their competition, so saving weight isn't that big of a deal for less NVH, without robbing loads of power, especially from a 4-cylinder vehicle.

I'd rather have two mufflers and a Y-pipe with a central catalyst, than having two catalysts, as well. (although my Legacy had three, all in a line. One before the turbo, and two after.)]]>Dec 17th 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 4:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/
exactly what is the difference between this and a 4-cylinder Outback wagon, other than looking slightly more boring?

Shame that the Legacy wagon was canned, and this is seen fit for market, when it is actually quite redundant to the Outback, which is just a raised Legacy wagon (at some point Legacy became the also-ran to the Outback, where the Outback was once a Legacy option package.)

Of course the new Impreza is Legacy based too... but still considered compact instead of midsized.]]>Dec 17th 2007 7:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/
What, the uglyfication of the entire Subaru lineup? It will when the next Legacy/Outback debuts.

Subaru has taken a machine gun to it's feet.]]>Dec 17th 2007 4:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/Dec 17th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/it-never-ends-more-new-pics-of-2009-subaru-forester/
This reminds of the release of the original Zune, when Microsoft released a series of "leaks" to get free "viral" marketing.

I know this is a blog, and you want to put out as much as possible, but maybe it's time to just wait until the real pics come? Certainly this can't be the first time "news" item you've passed on.

I am surprised that Subaru doesn't want to have any designers on its payroll. Saab managed to create a nice-looking (at least from the outside) Impresa (9-2) just with a few tweaks.

And that shapeless cheap interior. Looks like heavily used and never washed 10-year-old Ford Escort.]]>Dec 17th 2007 4:56PM
