2014 Subaru Forester Gets The Corporate Mug

The Forester stands alone in evading Subaru’s more questionable styling choices, but it hasn’t ever looked particularly enticing either. The 2014 model, with its new Impreza-esque front and rear treatments, continues that tradition. Under the hood, things are more promising.
In addition to Subaru’s venerable 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, a 2.0L turbocharged version, good for 250 horsepower, is also on deck. The downside is that the blown motor comes exclusively with a CVT gearbox, while the 2.5L has the option of a 6-speed manual. Subaru enthusiasts can take consolation in the fact that the new turbocharged FA engine will almost certainly appear in the next generation WRX – and maybe, just maybe, the BRZ as well.

after looking at it for a bit too long, I had an unappetizing ZX2 aftertaste... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2003_Ford_ZX2.jpg
This looks too much like an Equinox.
