Saw the new Outback by tsy

Finished my second STP this weekend (Bike ride from Seattle to Portland) and as usually the aid cars were provided by Subaru. At the finish line they had a new Outback- it is HUGE! It sure seems much bigger than the current outback- it must be pretty similar in size to the Toyota Venza? Not sure, I might have still been lightheaded from the bike ride!
 
Anyway, it seems pretty solid but maybe too big now.
 
Has anyone driven one yet?

Believe it or not Tom, The new Outback is actually about an inch shorter than the '09 model! Yes, it's taller and wider, and has a ton more space inside thanks to the increased wheelbase. The front and rear overhangs have been reduced. The Legacy is a bit longer than last year's model, but not by much, 2 or 3 inches I think.
 
I've driven several new Legacys and Outbacks, and they're really nice cars, much improved on the out-going models. I especially like the Legacy GT, with the 6-speed.

The man and boy were released from the hospitals on the next day - both with just cuts and bruises. I found it interesting that they were from the town where my parents live which is about 50-60 miles away on the other side of Houston.

Oh, it sure looked bigger!
 
Is it heavier? It did look nicer though.

Not much heaver, ~ 50 pounds or so, depending on trim level. It is MUCH bigger on the inside, especially for rear passengers.

we're home after about 2700 miles in the Subaru in 10 days ....
 
I am soooo lucky to have a husband that travels well with me!
 
We planned to be back last night, but realized I had an aunt who was visiting in New Harmony IN, so we made a slight detour (about 45 extra miles) and managed to have dinner with them last night. We all visited until bedtime, then saw them again this morning for some antiquing in town. Stayed at New Harmony Inn which was VERY nice, and very peaceful setting. We had a (tiny) balcony that overlooked 'park land' and a lake. Very private. Enjoyed it a lot.
 
Now if I didn't have to do the unpacking and the laundry ....

Post count in these forums just quadrupled today!
 
Vacation must have been too good juice. I was beginning to wonder if you drowned over in Ocean City, or got swallowed up by the kiddy car rides (singing the Kingston Trio song: "M.T.A., " aka "Did he ever return."

Very sorry, Serge. That's just how it was with Ashley, my first dog. In an odd way it was peaceful.
 
With Hadji I didn't really get a chance to say a proper goodbye, so we sent off balloons for the kids to have some closure.
 
RIP Dina.

Yep, I'm back.
 
Brenda: nice road trip.
 
We hosted my brother and his family, visiting from Brazil, for the past 3 weeks. It was complete insanity, busy busy the whole time, 2 events every day it seemed. We were here for a while, then in Ocean City for a week, then in New York City, then in Philly. Drove right past Subaru HQ, too.
 
My brother just ordered a new Forester - in Brazil! They have a new dealer who just opened a Subaru outlet in Recife, the first and only one so far. His will be a 2.0l engine, too, not the big 2.5l we get, so I imagine it'll be very JDM, or maybe a european equivalent model.
 
He told me they sell a base 2.0l, 2.0l Limited (what he got), and a 2.0l Turbo. He's not much into cars but that is what he seemed to think anyway. I'll visit the dealer when I go to Brazil next year, most likely.
 
While he was here we let him drive our 2009 to get a preview of what it would be like. He and his wife both liked it, so no plans to cancel the order. She's driving around in a Citroen Xsara Picasso, a bizarre egg-shaped european people mover, right now, so the Forester will be a lot more mainstream. They have a farm so the AWD should be put to good use.

Did your brother get a 2.0 Forester Limited automatic?
