Man...its like a prettier, more refined STi. I consider it the all-around Subaru. I'd get it in a heartbeat. How much is it again? Like mid 20's right? Any insight on how reliable it is? I dunno which one I want now, the Mazda 3, or this. The 3 would be cheaper, but the forrester has the sti motor.....

That is a great ad!
And yeah, I know that the same applies to the RX-8 as it does the 350z.
But the Forester still looks like @ss and handles like a shopping cart.
:D

Ike,
:D That is a VERY funny ad.
I have a friend in Columbus with a Forester-
I'll bet she'll buy the turbo.
She rides around with 2 miniatures and one giant
schnauzer. She has a long drive which neccesitates
a real (not low to the ground) 4WD in the winter as the
drifts can be over a foot at times.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
I'll have to admit, that Forester is likely the 1st on my list to replace my wonderful reliable Eagle Summit wagon, the original shopping cart on wheels for me for over 11 years.
And this would be just as ugly (ahemm understated), but WAY MORE FUN!! Bring those weak-engined 350Zs on!:D
Wonderful family acceptable FUN - in a SUV of the RIGHT size - SMALL!

Hats off to Subaru.They sure seem to have there act together with engine design mixing with affordable practical cars and light suvs.Sure they are not the best looking things on the road,but they aint the worst either.I would like to see Toyota and Honda follow in the footsteps of bringing back FI to the US market.Still dreaming about my 06 Supra tt 400 rwhp.

It's looks are understated and that's party of the beauty, it's a great sleeper and is going to surprise the heck out of some people.

The new Forester will eat my 8 alive 0-60..I have driven it..its no slouch. All it needs is a stiffer suspension setting and stickier tires.. Keep in mind its a de-tuned STI engine 2.5 liter with GOBS of tourque..

That is a great add for the Forester. I still don't think it would ever be on my shopping list, but wow a 25K small sport ute that is almost as quick 0-60 as a stock FD. The Legacy looks great as well, I can't wait to get a good luck at it. I personally like Subaru's product line a whole lot. I agree that they aren't the prettiest cars on the road, but that isn't always the most important thing.

In a straight line, the Forester XT is supposed to be as fast, if not slightly faster than, a WRX. It doesn't corner like a WRX, but as others have said, with the right mods it could. The Forester is not for me, but I would consider it if I had kids. I wonder how fast the new Baja Turbo will be.
