I checked with 2 Subaru dealers they told me that they do not have any pricing for the 2011 Forester.
I think that Subaru is playing games one dealer told me that he would take orders based on the 2010 prices with a 4% mark up, I walked out.

If the new normaly aspirated engine's block is similar to the XT's, it will cost more to manufacture. Subaru could be having a problem deciding whether to pass along such a cost.

Just read another online Subaru site that shows new 2011 Pricing and Features. Glad to tell you all - the Tilt+Telescopic steering wheel feature has been added to 2.5X Premium and higher models. As a big guy, that is great news. Also new is integrated Bluetooth to same models, with steering wheel controls. Just a few weeks away. Now, I have to decide between Spark Silver and Steel Gray...

This was buried in the press release:
 
________
 
All Forester models now come with a new grill design as well as an updated instrument panel with a softer, textured material for enhanced interior appearance.
________
 
This is good news, as it signals Subaru has gotten the message that a lot of hard plastic in the interior turns people off. Rumor has it that the all-new 2012 Impreza will also have a softer padded dashboard.

I don't think invoice prices will be published, but will have to be bought from services. In 2007 I got invoice pricing from Consumer Reports on the 2008 Forester that I bought, but could have gotten it from a couple of other services.
