Now the the 5th Generation Subby is out, give me the 4th Generation any day of the week!!! The Liberty “was” the only car in the line-up that didn’t get a dose of the Fuglys, yes the word I used was “was”

Barry, Whereis supplies map data not the software. They supply it for BOTH the Subaru and the TomTom. The latst version is R16 so the R13 (2006) is NOT 5 years old, but its dated.

Go to your Subaru dealer and get an update, they should be out soon. Or use your TomTom, as portable units will always have the latest map data sooner, as their time to market is much shorter, oh and they are much cheaper to update.

Hi Everyone, I have a 2008 Subaru Liberty GT. Excellent car with superb quality. The only let down is the GPS software (Where Is) which absolutely sux. It generally can’t find it’s way across the street without getting lost.Most time it will claim that the street does not exist then when you do find it(via the Gregorys) it will show the street name on the screen. I have a Tom Tom in another vehicle and it is excellent. The Subaru was supplied new with Version 13 of Where Is which was already 5 years out of date. I then had to pay $400.00 to upgrade to Version 14 and it was no better still being at least 4 years out of date.
Does anyone know of any different software that will operate in the Subaru GPS system which is actually a Kenwood.

Looks like a combination of Lightroom and iPhoto- http://www.frogmix.com/search/lightroom . Is this an online or desktop app? I’ve requested in the past Adobe create a light viewer and something to do very basic edits. Hope this is that. i.e. Like Irfanview but Adobeized.

Shades of the discredited Austin “P71″ or whatever it was called. Looks too horrible to be a Liberty.

Oh well, I guess this will encourage me to stay with my MY05 liberty a few years longer. But I was really looking forward to updating year 10.

Looks the same like the old but the side has changed the headlights and new rims.

Well if it turns out like the concept shown in 09 detroit motorshow then the new Liberty will be hideous. Subaru seriously need to sack their entire current design staff and either replace or outsource to actual qualified designers, not a bunch of visually impaired 8 year olds with a bunch of crayons and a korean fetish.

Spoke to a dealer last week re the next range of libety’s
-New design is apparently more boxier than the current MY09 range and different to these pics.
-6cyl 3L engine will be replaced by a 3.6L engine (curently in the Tribeca).
-Subaru will be releasing a deisel engine option for the Liberty. Not sure of the engine specs as yet.
-GT & GT.B will remain as 2.5L turbo engines.

The Liberty is awesome.

I’d have to agree with everyone else that its a photoshop because its got Legacy B4 on the plate. Liberty turbo’s are GT’s now. Unless they are planning to go back to a Twin Turbo, which means they will get rid of the bad lag in the Gen 3 B4. Because they cant possibly be stupid enough to produce a TT with bad turbo lag again.
