Default nice car!! 3.0H6 is super smooth. 2.5 turbo may be better, but...

a little lower quality and a little less exciting

i'd opt for the 92x version from SAAB with the STi engine.

Best looking Subaru to date, but I'd pass until the STi version comes out.

If its as durable as a Impreza chassis, I'd hit it...

Default they gotta stick the STI or at least forester XT engine in that...wouuld be sweet.

interior is VERY audi-esque...its obvious who they were shooting for. personally i'd think its the best smallish midsize "non lux marquee" car coming out.

Default Do you mean 2.5L? Yes that is very interesting.

...especially if it keeps its weight down. There's definitely some tuning potential there too. It's the same engine as the Forester, as I am told by the friend of a Subaru employee who test drives new models in Michigan (this is perhaps the next generation Forester, sorry about the dubious unconfirmed "friend of a friend" statement). I am also told that the Forester in question has 0-60 time of 5.1 sec., believe it or not. I'm interested to see an instumented test in the future.
