kamaki,
 
EXPECTING MORE? What planet do you live on? This is only 2 years into the cycle, we are lucky that we got a re-design so quickly. The improvements as bob said will boost sales on this imensely and it'll be a good seller for them.

On earth, you?
 
I'm a Subie fan (already had 3 in the past and wanted to make them 4) so ofcourse I have higher expectations from Subaru.

I too am a long-time subie owner and fan (2 XT6s, 1 SVX, 1 Legacy, 1 Impreza) but I'm also a realist and know they need to make money in order to stay in business. The XT6 and SVX are prime examples of wonderfully engineered cars that the public didn't receive well and thus were duds for SOA.

Is winning on me. If Subaru forget the idea of pricing it like an Acura, things are going to be interesting. It will be tough for a lot of people paying the same for a Hyundai. Remember the resale value? The Highlander never caught the Subaru fan. So this time it'll be running easy. As a former Forester owner, and actual OB owner, now I can see the natural next step.

What I asked isnt expensive; they are designing the 3.0L diesel engine, and as for the 6 speed tranny, they could have build it instead of the new 5-speed they put on the new Tribeca.
 
About the interior quality, that can be priced in as an extra. And as for the exterior - I prefer the the old design to the new

Hmm lets see....
 
3.0L Diesel, don't count on it being sold here. Heck the Jeep dropped the CRD Liberty due to emissions testing issues. It *may* make it here eventually but it's expensive to get it tested etc, especially if they aren't going to sell a lot of them.
 
6-speed, yeah it would be nice but it costs a lot to do, especially since they just did the 5EAT a few years ago.
 
As for upgrading the interior, people are already complaining about the price, anything more would push it out of range completely for a Subaru.
