It was ugly with a purpose. The new Subarus are just ugly.

Daddy like! I think it's money. But I'm also the weirdo that likes the Suzuki SX4. I feel like this is the first REAL Outback Sport that we have received in the US.
Raised Suspension - Check
Extra Body Cladding - Check
Signature Interior/Exterior Changes - Check

This reminds me of the Gravel Express when it first dropped in Japan.

I saw it at the Frankfurt Auto Show. It looks better in person, if you're shopping for a small crossover. It's not my cup of tea but then neither is the new Impreza.
They also had a Forrester with a 5 speed and the turbo diesel on display. :hitit:

ZOMGWANT.

Hmmm. Strange. I thought they ditched the 5 Speed in favor of the 6 Speed for all of the diesels? Maybe they reinforced the 5 Speed.

I'll have to dig out my pictures but I'm pretty sure it was a 5 speed.
Perhaps in my heightened state of lust I didn't notice the extra gear?

Besides price (and fanboi's), I'm wondering who buys this over a CRV or the excellent Kia
