Though the timing chain is even better, no more timing belt changes!!! As said before FA20 DIT is the turbo, FB25 is non-turbo. Too bad the turbo diesel is only in Europe |

Does anyone know when we'll be able to build our own on the Subaru website?

Today Subaru Australia added some technical details about its version of the new Forester XT at http://subaru.com.au/news/forester-o...-xt%E2%80%99sy.
One significant difference in specs between the new Oz Forester XT and North America's version is rated towing capacity. According to the release cited above: Quote:

The fewer total trim levels available, the cheaper still.. and the easier to keep your quality control inspections consistent... which means higher ratings from JD Power, Consumer Reports, etc. Next time you're looking at those initial quality surveys.. you'll notice that cars that come with a few simple packages top the list and those with tons of options (like MINIs) fall near the bottom. Just imagine that you're the inspector that's going to make sure the car was built correctly to specifications before it leaves the factory.. would you be more efficient if the car had 20 possible configurations or 20,000? |

MY2008. The Premium package '08 WRX had the AWP and the aero package. The only difference between an '08 WRX Premium from an '09 was the color of the paint on the wheels, the standard tires, the shocks and springs and the turbo/downpipe combo.

At the Philly Auto Show, I had a conversation with the rep where I said that I think the Forester will hugely cannibalize the Outback much more so than the expected cannibalizatin of the Forester by the Crosstrek. Especially considering the 2.5i Forester now has the IDENTICAL powertrain to the 2013 Outback and nearly the same cargo and passenger space, with the Forester just being shorter but taller. The rep disagreed, noting that the Forester will be marketed for -- and appeal to -- those looking for a "true" SUV where the Outback appeals more to the wagon/crossover group. Despite X-drive and a high roof, we all know that the Forester is just as much as crossover as the Outback, for less money! |

You can't really cut into the Outback's market with anything that isn't an Outback.. you've got to remember the whole Outback thing started from people who weren't interested in a nicer riding and handling Legacy Wagon.. but once Paul Hogan told them that they could have an SUV that could handle the dangerous Australian Outback like no other.. it was a sales success. The 1996 Outback had two tone paint, some stiffer, taller springs, different looking wheels and a bulge on the roof. In daily driving they were no more useful or capable than a Legacy wagon, but were much more expensive.
Until a macho guy gets on TV and tells the average consumer that the Forester is the toughest little 'ute' you can buy and has just as much room as the amazing Outback it will not canibalize Outback sales. On second thought... they could just name it the Forester Outback. |

My guess is that you'll see it some time in early March. I hope I'm wrong, though. The good news is that, supposedly, the sold order system opens up tomorrow, which means that you will be able to order one from the factory, implying that all of the details about options, accessories, and pricing will pour out tomorrow to dealers. No coincidence that this is the same day as the lift of the press embargo. I think tomorrow will be a big day for those of us starved for 2014 Forester details in the U.S.! |

I meant failed me because I was looking in the general WRX/STI page and only saw 2009 features (for AWP) mentioned, not 2008, but WAS surprised when I didn't see 2008. Then I stopped caring.
It's still fail on my part, but I just felt like blaming Joe Spitz. |

Heh heh, nope, but I've bought a few Subies from him and sent a few referrals his way as well... and we've ALL ended up with AMAZING deals. I just have a lot of respect for a no-nonsense, no-pressure and extremely knowledgeable salesperson who can also give me a killer deal... it's a rarity. (And I hope SOA appreciates what an amazing resource his site is for people who may be interested in a Subaru. An informed consumer who buys your product is more likely to be a satisfied consumer and therefore a repeat customer, IMHO.) Back to 2014 Forester... time for those driving impression embargoes to be broken already! Those teasing tidbits so far have been very promising. |

What Slowgrey08 posted is what I am seeing, but wasn't going to "copy" and post because SOA is finicky about those things. Wasn't going to test them.
