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

I just hope we get pricing soon.

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.

I'm figuring $32k or so with VIP pricing.

My dealer, Herb Gordon Subaru, has an H6 Outback w/Eyesight stickering just under $37K, so again I think $35K sounds about right for an XT w/Eyesight.

The 250hp comes with an asterix - 93 octane. 91 octane minimum so that contradicts what we heard earlier about using regular fuel. Bummer.
Not liking the weight gain (XT), premium fuel requirement (XT),
I've decided I'm keeping my 2010 XT. Lack of a Limited model sans navigation, etc. will make the price way too high. Additionally the new look is NOT an improvement.
Perhaps there will be a Crosstrek XT without too much junk added later.

Actually, I prefer the new look. I don't like swoopy curves all that much, and the Forester's styling looks a lot more blocky and sharp-edged. Looks more like a truck, basically, and less like a jacked-up coupe.
I wouldn't mind an XV Crosstrek XT myself though. The Forester XT looks like it's going to be fairly porky when it comes to weight.
