Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
that looks rather Toyota-ish or possibly (A-Pillar back) Grand Vitara. the front looks rather tacked on, and the rear looks cribbed from other cars. all in all, i think Subaru's designs have been getting worse and worse. from the ugly new Impreza to the Tribeca with a Pacifica grill, i'm disappointed in them lately.

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
If this is what the automotive future holds then I am buying used.
You use to be able to recognize a Subaru--this looks like it can be anything from just about any overseas auto mfg. |

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
Subaru really messed up their recent designs

I actually really like the way this new Forester looks. It may not be exciting but it hardly looks bad. IMO it is an good improvement over the facelifted outgoing generation.

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
The lines are already forming for this thing up here in Seattle. It's just the kind of thing people up here can't get enough of. Over-wrought, over-cladded, semi-masculine poser SUV's. I can see the parking lots at REI and Whole Foods now. These Subarus and CR-V's as far as the eye can see, all with Tule roof boxes..........

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
Subaru's design gets a little more mainstream each year, which isnt nessarily a bad thing, most people like mainstream. but as far as CUV's go, I think the new Forester is one of the better ones!

The old Tribeca? Or the Baja? Or, to a lesser extent, the 2004-05 Impreza? I doubt Toyota had much to do with the new Impreza or the new Forester.

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
Well, at least it is only humdrum looking vs. being outright ugly. As long as it is still mechanically sound, it works for me.

Re: NAIAS 08: 2009 Subaru Forester
Now that's dull. I guess with Subaru cozying up to Toyota this shouldn't be a surprise. It's a RAV4, or so it looks.
