Some strange details there...
 
That vinyl looks shiny and cheap. The fabric just looks bizarre, with that texture.
 
The underseat storage bin looks gimmicky - they could have made it bigger. My van has one and it's always coming loose.
 
They could have had 2 glove boxes instead of that slot above the single one.
 
I do like how wide the rear doors are.
 
I see a lot of room for improvement, though, before they bring it here. Make it bigger while you're at it.

From the Edmunds preview drive:
 
"As with the Japan-specification Legacy and Impreza, SI-Drive allows you to choose among three modes of torque-management strategy, only this time, a kind of kick-down function has been employed. Even in economical "I" (Intelligent) mode, a quick extension of the right boot will see the explosive "S#" sport sharp mode automatically engaged, allowing you to instantly overtake the car ahead. Then, just lift off on the throttle and "I" mode reengages, taking you back to economical cruising. Up until now, you had to flick the SI-Drive switch manually. "
 
Huzzah to the new SI drive and a true "Intelligent" mode that doesn't neuter the car as it does in present Outbacks.

I wouldn't have minded that new system on our Forester. Not at all.

That is exactly what one needs. What I hear about the current version is that it is similar to trying to accelerate in the 5th or 6th gears, when you are in the "Intelligent" mode and want to accelerate.

How much horse and torque increase would one get changing the maps with a Cobb vs just adding subaru performance package?

These are the first applications of the Subie diesel spreading beyond the Euro-spec Legacy/Outback, as well as the first diesels with 6-speeds.

Sweet. I wonder if diesel pricing here will drop now that a barrel of oil has. It's still about 80 cents more per gallon for diesel near me.

has reported that for '09 all Imprezas get rear disc brakes, and the premiums get sunroofs. Yesss! About time on the sunroof thing! Will this leave the Forester X as the only Subaru still sold with rear drum brakes?
