No. Tomorrow is the end of the 2014 Forester embargo. you're not going to hear about the hybrid until the hype from that dies down.

Looks good so far except for the launches with the CVT..apparently it's pretty soft 0-10 MPH, but after that it's fine. They might need to tweak something.

MA: ...all contribute to what we considered superb body control for a crossover, out on the challenging and technical road course at Inde Motorsports Ranch in Wilcox, Arizona. 
24mpg in a lead foot's hands ain't bad at all.

TCC gave it an 8.2, which compares favorably to the CR-V (7.8) and CX5 (7.4). It also scores a lot higher than the outgoing model (7 to 7.4).

Cars.com got 27 mpg out of the base model and 25.8 from the turbo. They also complained about off the line acceleration. Unlike the other review, he loved the seats. I guess try it on for size, we're all shaped differently.
Manual Premium models lose the moonroof? But AWP standard? Weird.
They mistakenly compare the prices to FWD competitors, price 'em with AWD for apples to apples, folks.

Sluggish off the line is just the opposite of my 2010 XT. I can't imagine buying the 2014. I have compared what I paid with the new Touring version which is the only way to get the cold weather kit: $4,000 more than my Limited was. Subaru obviously does not want to sell many XT Limiteds.

23 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, and the turbo no longer requires premium fuel We keep going back on forth on this...
They don't like the CVT, and of the four reviews that was definitely the least flattering one.
