Tack, you seem to think your observations are validated. How do you explain Subaru’s continual growth for over more than a decade? What are your thoughts regarding a brand that has expanded it’s market share while most other brands have suffered hugely? You obviously have no idea of what it takes to make a brand like Subaru perform exceptionally well year in and year out, both here in Australia and globally. Maybe keep your delusional comments to yourself while you brush up on your English..

GT sedan. Ordered. Pick up Friday. Looks great. Goes great.

I agree wagon doesn’t look as good. A bit boxy for my liking. Subaru have always been a little controversial with their styling.. (bug eye rex). Everyone still loved them, bought them and people just keep coming back.

I test drove the 2.5 Sports Premium yesterday… I must say I was impressed!

It looks fierce with the new styling, handled smoothly and definately had a touch of luxury with the leather interior and electric sunroof.

I do agree you need the 18″ alloys and the slightly lower profile of the sports model, with the standard 17″ alloys lost in the model’s new proportions. The colour range seemed fair and to disagree with a few previous posts, I thought the front lights, fog lamps and grill added to the character and profile of the model, giving it a slightly more aggresive feel than previous models.

With a family on the way I wanted a family size car, with all the safety trimmings and ample space without compromising on a nice ride and sports styling… with the new liberty I think I have found what I have been looking for.

Better call the bank and organise a cheque.

I think the pricing is very important. Pretty easy to get a GT for luxury car lease cap (low $57k) money now (something you couldnt really do for new previously).

CVT is a huge improvement + really helps teh flat 4, drives exactly like you would expect a softly set-up AWD to.

so many faux pas inside and out, such a step down in interior finishes from the last one. hard plastic dash for 50 bigguns???!!!!

Yeah its stupid the way some people come to conclusion.. but it happens all the time.

Toyota only owns 20~21% of the shares. Subaru has Toyota ties… but they act independently… they DO work together working on projects but again… styling, engineering are seperate entities.

Besides, it does look better in the metal… not as handsome as previous… but its one for the actual buyer and dealership visitor as opposed to the keyboard-armed critics.

And if Toyota DID have an input on styling, it’ll look more like Lexus.. with the front bumper lower air dam area swooping towards the middle with a slight angle. It’ll have a high waist towards the back and an angled inwards/downward styled headlamps…. this one is an interesting and mixed styled vehicle thats for sure.
