Replying to: rsholland (Dec 24, 2007 7:58 am) I like how it looks. I was worrying Subaru will botch the Forester's body style, and I'll have to buy 5 Foresters'08 to last me next 20 years but it looks like I'm safe waiting for 09 (while driving my Forester'06).

Replying to: kate5000 (Dec 24, 2007 11:15 pm) The new one (2009) has now been officially released in Japan:   http://www.subaru.jp/forester/forester/index.html (click on the lower left button with a car symbol to get details).

#7 of 3655 The power output by dintern Dec 25, 2007 (8:57 am)
According to their spec sheet, the base model has about 140HP and 140 TQ. That's a step way down from that of the 07 base model. Replies to this message: rsholland (Dec 25, 2007 9:05 am)

Replying to: dintern (Dec 25, 2007 8:57 am) The Japanese-spec models use a 2.0 engine, not the 2.5 that we get.   Bob

#10 of 3655 nice green color by orangelebaron Dec 25, 2007 (9:59 pm)
I like that aqua/green jade tone. Probably won't offer it here. Wonder if they'll offer that stain-proof material with the orange stitching.   Back seat looks nice and high up off the floor as opposed to too low to the floor like most Subaru passenger seats as of late.

Replying to: orangelebaron (Dec 25, 2007 9:59 pm) I like it, too, but my wife has a light green metallic Legacy so she's ready for a change. Not sure what she'll want, though.   Comments from the photos:   * love the perforations in the center sections of the leather seats * love that rear cup holder/fold out thing, perfect to keep the kids happy * headlamp washer are neat, but overkill (?) * only 1 sunglass compartment. Old one had one, then two. * rear seats recline   Nothing here to turn me away from it, still looks very promising. Hope it drives well.

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 26, 2007 12:43 pm) Remains to be seen how much of the JDM equipment carries over to North America.   As far as the headlamp washers are concerned, for those of us who live in the cold north with a lot of salt and grime in winter, they would be a great addition. A lot of higher-end European cars have them, as do many JDM cars. They do work nicely. Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 26, 2007 1:59 pm)
