Not sure if this is 'old' news, but I spoke with a Subaru rep this week while getting my oil changed at the dealership. 1) New 2010 Outback being launched at the NY autoshow (will start showing up in dealerships for showing in May) and sale in June/July 2) Diesel is a potential for the Outback (NOT the Forester) this year. Launch hesitation is due to US drivers overwhelming preference for automatic, and they currently only have a manual transmission. Trying to get something to work - which may delay things. This individual mentioned it would be a 2.5L Diesel, rather then the 2.0 in Europe (if true, bummer IMO as it would likely affect fuel economy) 3) There will be a larger distinction between the legacy and outback styling-wise as Subaru tries to extend their customer-base beyond the types who post to this forum. 4) No pictures, but a comment that the Outback may be a bit bigger and with styling more 'squared-off' 5) They also mentioned the possibility of an electric car in testing. Unique model, very small. jh

I have a set of Nokian CS tires which usually live on my small RV but i want to put them on my 08 OB. The size is fine (215/65-16 and I run that size X ices in winter on my OB already). My question is what tire pressure should I use? the max on those tires which are really light truck tires with 109/d load rating is 74, they are supposed to be at 60psi on my RV- a Winne Rialta- essentially a Eurovan cab and winne coachbody - I'm sure 60 psi is too much for the OB but how low can I go, I'm concerned there must be a level where they won't remain seated on the rims. Should I go somewhere in the 40s?? any thoughts-pleez, pleez, I 've had no responses on legacyGT or subaruoutback!!

If the tire squats significantly at that pressure (which it shouldn't without a load), I would give it more pressure. The high pressure rating is only for safe load carrying, which is something like 2500# per tire, so you can run the vehicle at highway speeds without excessive heat buildup in the tire.

Replying to: cptplt (Mar 02, 2009 5:50 pm) The fact that the 2.0 already has an auto corroborates they actually may be launching a 2.5L diesel Speaking of European Diesels - had my first experience while on vacation in Spain in a Ford back in 2004 (something slightly smaller then a Fusion - Mondeo?) Anyhow - that thing was amazing. We're in the mountains and you could feel the thing accelerate so strongly when passing on the Interstate going up a steep hill. I finally understood what Torque really means! It got crazy good mileage - and you needed it given the gas prices and expensive tolls. For what it's worth, the drive from Barcelona to San Sebastian seems so close on a map - don't make the same mistake, take the train. With the exception of some cool low-altitude mountains by the Atlantic, it's mostly desert-like with probably thousands of windmills |

Hi, I have a 2005 Subaru Outback sedan, 6 cyl with automatic. It's recently started to flutter slightly when warm starting, but I've had no other problems. I use the recommended premium gas. The car has only 18,000 miles on it and has been serviced regularly. At a recent, major service, the dealer didn't have any ideas....said to come back if a light went on. I'm out of warranty due to the age of the car, which I have had since it was new. No other problems so far. Any ideas? Thanks very much.
