it does tend to be outlander like in shape but… if it rides as well or better than the outgoing forester its destined for bidg things in the off road compact suv sector. Love the interior styling well done guys. So all you other car lovers beware the new forester and step aside.

grill is bad. peugeot 308 type design like a formula car with air intake under a curved nose is going to be the new trend for the new car designs so subaru has to care the new trend to givea sport suv appearance

Hello,I can agree that the new Forester looks a little odd,but I can promise you that it is a awsome interest for the new model.I work as a sales manger for a company who sells subaru in Norway.As you mabye know we have a lot of snow here during the winter,perfect car for this conditions.The old version looks a little like a 60+ age car,but as we say here in Norway,Once a Subaru,allways a Subaru.The Subaru customers are very dedicated to their brand and we have had an enormous interest from our customers.(the release in Norway is in april-may)Pardon my english,it`s a little rusty:)

I’ve been eagerly waiting for the new Forester. The pictures of the new model dissapoint me. Ugly,confused styling. BUT sometimes these new cars look better in the flesh. Lets hope so!

Hello Barneyridge, can you enlighten me about your dislike of Yokohama Geolander tyres.

Looks like a confused soul.

Very clearly a mid life crisis.

Front on it looks like something from Korea from 10 years ago (not the current Sante Fe).

The back looks like what the Territory could be in it’s next generation.

The rest looks wanker… errr, I mean Pajero.

Well done Subaru for scratching another car off my list.

Thats actually not true fordfuturedriven,, even the current
xt manual forester is quicker that turbo territory,has something to do with territory being an overweight dinosour!!!!

If your getting an SUV you get a Territory Turbo, once the boost kicks in you will leave these other cars for dead.

People must we focus on the looks? Could explain why Toyota sells so many 1994technology underneath “Hot” new corollas though.

The new Forester could look like J Lo but without lowrange, a turbo diesel and at least 5speed gearbox? inbetween I wont be considering it. With them? I could be tempted away from the Pajero…seriously.

Ok,Ok, I agree its a little overstyled isn’t it? You’d have thunk Subaru would have learnt from backlash from bugeye & the Tribeca.

As a current 07 liberty wagon owner i agree the liberty is
a classic/refined and sporty looking car! we sold a 05 forester to get lib to get the extra space needed for two kids and to get a better looking and handling car..At least
this new forester seems to have adressed the space issue..

What an ugly looking car. The rear end is very Kluger, and the rest is just plain ugly.

This looks remarkably similar to the Hyundai Santa Fe (front) new Nissan X-Trail (Side) and Toyota Kluger (rear), at first glace, but take a closer look you start to notice the smaller differences.

ditto, the liberty is a classic design.

I agree Harry. The Liberty is a nice looking car.

As a current Forester owner the new model addresses some of my dislikes. Mainly a bit more room. This new model should be on par with the space of CRV and RAV4. I have heard that they will still only have a 4sp auto, in this day and age not acceptable. A CVT is on the way but prob a year or two away. The diesel option would be good. All Subaru Forester owners did not buy their current car on looks, therefore as long as it still has the boxer, the high and low range, can be usefully taken off road/beach, car like handling and character I think the current owners will up grade. It is going to lose the frameless doors though and looks like they are keeping the Geolander tyres (absolutely sh#t). At least the photos show it is not as ugly as the impreza.

will also surely have excellant safety credentials with a five star crash rating,will surely be a big seller,especially with a lot of current forester owners looking to upgrade…
