Wrt any new car, I would thoroughly research the local dealers and make sure they provide good after sales service. For Subaru in my area, I've the choice between a crummy one and a good one (the good one's a bit farther away); the good one gets all my business

Subaru has been very quiet about the Forester for 2010. Is there any truth to rumor that a CVT will replace the 4S AT for that model year? The reviewers have been beating Subaru so mercilessly on the 4 speed that I would be surprised if this is ignored yet again. My brother is considering a Forester and he is curious. As for me, I would probably wait a few years to switch (I don't think trade in loss would make up for the switch).

I don't expect any mechanical upgrades like that until the mid-life refresh, which is scheduled fro MY 2112. The Impreza's mid-life update is for MY 2011, and I expect the CVT to show up on that car then. Bob

If they up-size the new Outback, maybe they would match up better. I find the Venza very handsome, despite an overdone grille, but I don't really "get" it. It's as big as the Highlander but probably has less space than the RAV4. No 3rd row option. It's not that light or fuel efficient. And it's sort of expensive. I'm sure it will appeal to Lexus RX intenders who cannot afford to spend that much, but it's not for me. I either want performance or practicality, or even both. I'm not convinced the Venza offers either. It will find its niche, though. The Murano sells well, and it's fairly similar.
