FB engine replaces old 2.5.
 
2.5GT dropped.
 
Lots of refinements. Examples: Outback's roof rack is now adjustable to handle longer loads. Improved handling on all models. 2nd-Gen CVT replaces earlier version, plus a bunch more.

"The Outback Limited models for 2013 offer a new Special Appearance Package option that provides a new Keyless Access & Start system along with a two-position memory system for the already-standard 10-way power driver's seat."
 
Limited to the Limited (as an option package), but it's a start.

"body roll reduced up to 40%" Glad I was not the only person that disliked the Buick effect on the 4 cyl. Outback.

You weren't. A number of people have complained.

dealer salesman was just at a BRZ meeting in LA. They got to sit in the car, but not drive it. He said in his many years at Subaru, this was the only new model that he didn't like. He said it is "tiny" and his 6 foot frame couldn't fit--head in the roof, and no shoulder space.
 
It gave me flashback visions of an OPEL GT...guess my 6'3" is not even going to try this one out.
 
On a different note, he said a bunch of the guys were hammering Subaru HQs for a Baja version based on the new OB. He said HQ was listening....$4 gallon gas...will go a long way to making it a winner.

I sat in a BRZ at the DC auto show in January. The salesman is correct. Widebodies need not apply, as the seat bolsters are designed for thinsters.
 
Hope a neo-Baja reappears as well.

I sat in the BRZ last weekend and my 6' 2.5" 250 lb frame fit fairly well ... it's a sport coupe not an Outback.

Think you would be comfortable on a fairly long trip in that seat? I don't think I would, as it's too confining.
