I think Eyesight is an option package only on top-of-the-line Touring models.

If that's so, I'm going to need $30k for my Forester.
 
Hmm, let's see, 7 year loan plus $4k for my trade in once I pay it off....damn.

From one of the "At A Glance" PDF that I posted:
 
Optional for 2.5i and 2.0XT Touring
Driver Assist Technology package with
EyeSight system, Keyless Access and Start
and HID headlights.
 
The Limited and Touring models seem to have moved up-market, especially the Touring models. The XTs also have greatly benefited feature-wise from this new makeover.

Saw that too. The extra power and DI would be welcome, in fact that should be the next thing on Subaru's wish list for the base Forester.
 
Surprisingly the Forester gets better fuel economy at 24/32 (vs. 24/30 both with AWD), despite being bigger.
 
I test drove a CX5 with my sister and the engine fixes the biggest issue that car had (lack of power), but not the 2nd biggest - a tight rear seat. We folded the rear seat and it hits the front seatback. You have to slide the front seat forward to fold the rear seat.
 
The last Forester was already bigger so the new Forester must be a *lot* bigger.
 
Also we should remember that's Mazda's premium engine, you have to get an upscale model and then pay extra for the 2.5l engine to replace the 2.0l.

I'm a bit concerned about price.
 
Then again loaded Outbacks are selling like crazy. 4 cylinder models in the 30s.

I predict $35k loaded.
 
Well, $34,995.

I predict an XT Touring with Eyesight to be about $2K less than a comparably-equipped Outback H6. So I think $35K will be close.

Ouch, that's about $5k more than I was planning to spend...I just can't see myself spending more than $30k on a car...

That's MSRP. I'm sure you can get it lower than that. $5K lower? I doubt it.
