It looks okay not much different from the first.

Thanks for posting. It indeed doesn't really look different but its evolving (not a bad thing). It isn't getting watered down it seems. I hope Subaru will always offer a tough little AWD/manual wagon for me

Nice find!

However, I really dislike the new look of Suburu. Their new grilles look like Chrysler grilles, and their headlights look like stuff from the 90s.

The Toyota ugly stick strikes again.

Yeah there is definitely a lot of Toyota in there, especially in the rear end and about, where there are similarities to the new Highlander. It's not ugly though, but not really stylish either. It's too bad that Subaru see themselves as more of an engineering company where design doesn't matter. I guess recently they've learned the hard way that awesome engineering just isn't enough to sell a car.

Agreed. One of my cousins used to have one before trading it in toward a Ford Ranger (FX4 Level II) and the only reason I still remember it is because of the distinctive (tall/boxy) styling.......with this, it looks like they're trying to remold it in the same 'CUV' image as the Nissan Rogue.....

From that angle, I see a hint of 9-7X in the front end...which is ok. Some may not like it but this thing wont be as poor of a shot as the new WRX which is nasty.

yeah saab wants its headlights back please, so much for the aeroplane motif grill lol.

Well, there's a reason new Subarus might have some Saab flavor--when they were developed the plan was probably to share them with Saab. I've read that the 2008 Tribeca uses sheetmetal originally intended for the 9-6X.

This new Forester, though, looks more like the Mitsubishi Outlander than anything else to me. Based on this shot, I like it. What's with the previous generation in the top left?

[F14CRAZY]

A side profile view would be nice to see if it's still boxy or not

[F14CRAZY]

Toyota might have had some influence, but really guys, it isn't much different from the last one

[montrealvue]

Hard to tell if it is bigger than the last generation ....I hope it is.

[WishIhadatruck]

I never like the current/old version, too boxy and plain. This is an improvement but I wouldn't call it good looking. The only Subaru I really like is the Outback.

I could see buying one for the wife, but not for myself. Say what you will about Subaru's, but they are great snow cars. I haven't driven one, but guys I've talked with who have used them when skiing have talked it up. And this was from a guy who owned a Z71 Chevy.
