I'm waiting for official pics to be released. Sounds like the 09 Forester may grow too big for me I'd be okay with a couple inches wider and a couple more inches rear leg room but wish they'd keep the overall length and turning radius the same.

FWIW, CR down graded the Tundra V8, the Camry V6 (because of the 6 speed automatic), and one Lexus model.
Yeah the new 5.7L Tundra engine has glass camshafts that are snapping on them. Even the mightly Toyota has reliability issues...

Frank, why not go for the hatch of a WRX then? I bet they made the Forester bigger cause otherwise it would have overlapped too much with the hatch.

Well fortunately I'm perfectly happy with my XT and don't plan to replace it any time soon. Before I got the Forester I actually briefly considered getting a WRX wagon but with 2 large dogs, the cargo area just wasn't big enough. Plus the sloping rear window would have been covered in nose smears in no time

Nose smears will cover whatever windows you have no matter what you get.
Our dog is down to about 9 lbs, and we still get them on a full-sized van.

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a travel crate.

For long trips, that's what we do. The crate fits between the 2 kids in the 2nd row, so the dog can even watch the movie.
His favorite is All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Juice, how about a cat-carrier! Since your dog wants to be a cat anyway!
