That was quick...
 
I gotta get out and sample the same vehicle.
 
Visually, I agree, the OB doesn't look quite as nice as the outgoing one, but I do like the Legacy. Bring back the Legacy wagon.
 
Now I'm curious to sample the CVT since the Forester will get it.

well I was driving right past the dealer, so I said what the hey.
 
I was well impressed with the CVT. Don't know when it will be OB time, but I won't rule it out.

New 2.5i grille can be seen here on this PDF.

It looks much like the current WRX/STI grille, but with a thin horizontal bar added. Also, 2010 Tribeca here too, but with little new info.

I'm disappointed the 6MT doesn't match the mileage of the CVT.
 
In fact I think it's closer to the mileage on the H6 5EAT than it is to the efficient CVT.

I suspect one of the reasons the CVT gets better mileage is that there is little or no engine braking. Anyone who's driven an old 50s- 60s-era Saab 2-stroke (or 2-stroke motorcycle) will know what I'm talking about.

The big news here is the SE package on the Impreza. For $500 you get a moonroof, the AWP, and foglights. Helloooo bargain!
 
I'm not crazy about that grille - it looks like a moustache.
 
To be honest, that's not the problem. It's the bumper. Below the grille the bumper still caves in. It should just run straight across. Simple fix.

Yes, I do know the feeling. I owned a Honda Aero 125cc scooter, which was a 2 stroke. It would basically coast forever!

A conventional automatic coasts ok-- better than a manual. But I do agree, it's probably impactful.

That's what a clutch is for - an auto doesn't coast better than an MT with the clutch depressed. I coast down all long hills and my computer shows great FE when I do.
