You know, after looking at that brochure, I think I will drive a Forester along with the new Legacy and Outback models when I get back up here from the Lower 48. Hopefully my local dealership will have all of the newest models in stock by then.

There's something hard to quantify about the Forester.
 
On paper, our 2002 Legacy was a better car than our 1998 Forester, but the Forester was just more....fun? Tossable? Accessible? User friendly?
 
All of the above, really.
 
And my wife likes the 2009 model much better than the 1998 (I like both, in fact I miss my manual transmission at times). To her, our 2002 Legacy was a distant 3rd. To me as well, come to think of it.
 
Try one out.

The Limited Foresters do not have faux wood trim. I sell Subaru's and drive an 09 and find no problem with the silver finish. Maybe you are light sensitive.

I have a 2010 Forester in Paprika Red in stock at Schaumburg Subaru. The new color looks great on the Forester, stop in and ask for me.

The only problem with the '09/10 XT silver finish is it's very easy to damage.
The plastics, in particular, have no protective coat over the paint.
 
A pity Subaru does not at least offer an option of "tuffcoat" finishes.

How would you compare it to Camilla Red Pearl?
 
Lighter? More orange-ish in the color? Is it metallic or pearl?
 
The on-line PDF file doesn't really display the colors well at all.

Subarus in Recife, Brazil by ateixeira

This is funny, a new distributor just opened in my home town of Recife, Brazil, so my brother is now shopping for a Forester. Hilarious.
 
Automobiles are taxed heavily there, so his price is roughly the equivalent of $44,000 US dollars. Ouch.
 
Still, it's priced between a Kia Sportage and a Honda CR-V. So compared to local alternatives, it's actually a good value.

Interior Cabin Air Filter by tinycadon

I remember someone was having problems with this earlier in a thread, I took mine out yesterday, it was relatively easy, unhooked the side cylinder, popped the hooks on the bottom, twisted the glove compartment to the right and out it came. I didn't replace the filter, I just pulled it out and sprayed it clean with a hose. Dried it out for a few hours and then popped it back in. Glove compartment went back in fairly easy, probably took a total of 5 minutes to take off and put on, no tools, AND no 35-40 bucks for a stupid air filter!!!

Cool. You didn't happen to get photos of the process of removing the glove box, did you?

To me it looks A LOT more orangy, and it is a lighter color than the other red.. It is kinda metallic.
 
They have brochures at my local dealer now. Also, the Impreza comes in the same color, so they should have some at your local dealer to check out the color.
