http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=27596641&postcount=1 New 2.5i grille can be seen here on this PDF. https://www.subaru.com/content/downloads/pdf/brochures/2010_full_lifebook.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. Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 30, 2009 7:40 am) 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.

Replying to: colin_l (Jul 30, 2009 10:14 am) Our Sienna will coast forever. It just puts the trans in 5th (overdrive) and shuts off fuel completely. Mileage pegs the trip computer at 99mpg instantly. With the Forester you let off the gas and you get slight engine braking, even on the highway, even down hill. Part of that is probably the shorter gearing (4th), but I'm guessing the extra drag from the AWD is hurting here - it won't coast half as far. Wonder how the CVT does? |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2009 8:45 am) Well, it's $500 OVER the price of a Premium, which last year had all the items mentioned. Which leads to the question, how is the "Premium" premium over the base model now? I guess it still has alloys instead of wheel covers? If that's it, the extra $1000 it costs vs the base model is looking like less of a bargain than it was for '09. Good ol' Sube, it is always so quirky when it comes to feature packaging. If I pay $25 grand for a WRX, all I get for a stereo is the same one the folks paying $179/month get in the base model Impreza. Which is not to say that the WRX is a bad deal at $25 grand, but as a big fan of the 10-speaker factory stereo Subaru is offering in the Imprezas, I would want that if I were buying a WRX.
