Subaru XV Debuts
Well the official XV news is out at least for our European Subie lovers
http://www.subaru-global.com/about/m.../xv/index.html Makes the 2012 5-door not so hot anymore. I want my XV with the 6-speed now!

Nice. It's pretty much the same as the XV concept except for the fancy lights and grille.
I didn't expect see those wheels to make into production. |

So the XV looks like an Outback version of the Impreza wagon or am I missing something here? Looks good and I like the wheels. I see Subaru selling these even better than the Outback.

Interesting, is the XV the only Subaru model that has start/stop technology?

Looks pretty cool, like the OBS finally gets its just desserts. Great web design on that site, as well.

That is one of the most awesome Subaru models I ever seen. All they need to do now is bring it to the US, and offer it in WR Blue.

• 225/55x17 tires, same size as found on the Forester
• 8.6" ground clearance • 1.6L & 2.0 gas engines. First application of the FB16 engine • Updated diesel offered • 1.6 version gets dual-range 5-speed tranny, others get 6-speed manual. All but diesel get CVT option. • Still struggling with the grille insert design • Start-stop engine function • Disappointed in the "urban" CUV marketing. Was hoping for it being the sporty off-roader that the Forester never was. Bob |

That is very nice!
The wheels are awesome and the interior looks more like the 07's, which is far better than the 08-11's. We should have this!!! |

I don't get the marketing for the XV on the Subaru Global website. They are selling the XV as an "urban" vehicle... huh? Why do you need raised suspension and plastic bits in the city?
They're showing flowers and shopping bags. I don't get it. |

I like that. I like the scoop and would like one, but could easily live without it; but, I have had customers NOT buy because of the hood scoop. Not because of the Turbo MPGs. The hood scoop. I think it will do better without it. |

I like it! Not crazy about the CVT though Hmm, a Cobb Stage II turbo diesel would be interesting.

Google the concept... the production wheels look different. Similar style, though. |

Four inches shorter (length and height) and same width as Forester with roughly the same ground clearance. Also has an inch longer wheelbase (which makes sense, matching the 2012 Impreza) than the Forester.
Is it really that different than the Forester other than being on a newer chassis/engine from the Impreza with a less practical body? Missing the point I guess... |
