Ahh, I saw this one coming. The Subaru faithful get beat up here. As a member I have to say some of it is deserved. FHI should really look into bringing a FWD version here. I know how committed they are to AWD but with current gas prices, C’mon. I look at it this way. My 2008 Forester 2.5 X Sports gets 28 mpg, imagine a FWD version. With Toyota’s growing influence I am sure it will only be a matter of time…

I thought the Tribeca was a lengthened Legacy platform, the new Impreza was a shortened Legacy platform and the Forrester was a raised Impreza platform.

Or maybe the Legacy is a lowered, lengthened Forrester platform etc.

Subaru seem to make good use of re-using their engineering assets across their whole range of vehicles, pity they don’t use the money saved to hire a few decent car stylists.

FWD?? But…but…but I thought AWD was what made a Subaru a Subaru.

Yes, definately not a Female Lotus.

SherbornSean–> I find it easier to pronounce if it’s hard.

Is the ‘g’ hard or soft?

The alliteration police called regarding the caption: You’re over your quota.

A diesel version would be on my extremely short list for a new vehicle. Like a list of 1. If that is possible.

Must be Legacy-based. Impreza platform is too small. I would buy that car in a minute. Tribeca is too big and unwieldy. Bring it here, Subaru!
