Ugly Front look's the same as one of the american SUVs...dunno which one

From CarScoop:


In about a week’s time, Subaru will release details and (official) images on the all-new 2009 Forester, but thanks to a series of leaks, there’s nothing left for our imagination. This new set of pictures that were apparently taken from a Subaru dealership in Japan, are the best that we've seen so far. And even if we’ve already seen several images of the exterior, this is actually the first time that we get real life shots of the interior which looks identical to the one found in the new Impreza.

Detroit Auto Show: 2009 Subaru Forester

Just looks so plain. Subura for all their functionality just can't style a truly good looking vehicle.

Us Forester owners don't mind that one bit either.

Let's say we and our Forries where that blandness like a badge of honour: "Only a real fuss-pot anorak would drive one of these..."

I'll be putting my order in.

I wouldn't call it ugly at all.

Believe it or not Martin, I do have an appreciation for this vehicle ...it is intended to be used in real-life on/off road situations -- it is designed to be low maintenance and rugged -- the interior is practical and durable. There is no pretense or posturing here -- it is a good, honest 4x4 built with integrity.

For me, the thing which separates this vehicle from ones like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, is not a "lack of style" but rather that it has a higher degree of genuine purpose.

Well put. In fact, I'd say that the above statement is definitive of Subaru vehicles in general - the questionable Tribeca model aside.
