Subaru factories backlogged; potential delivery delays
Estimated 4-month wait on new orders for Impreza, Crosstrek, WRX/STI; 3 months for Outback, Legacy, Tribeca; No Forester orders until the new model arrives. Subaru had better do all it can to ramp up quickly.

people who want the brz but dont want to wait could easily get the fr-s. i do wonder a bit about the quality control of things for subaru if they are rushing to fill these orders.

Good for Subaru, bad for us.
I need to make up mind so I can order a new car... Sounds like if I want a new car for springtime I should order in November? |

What is good for Subaru can only be good for their enthusiasts.

Might be easier to pick from dealer allocations before they arrive, than to order. In which case, big dealerships = advantage.

I'm glad that I'm not in the market to buy anything soon, but I can imagine the price markups....

I am waiting for the 2014 Forester. Hopefully they are readily available for test drives and purchase. If not, I may lean the other direction and get a C-MAX.

I would wait for the Forester. Living in upstate NY I would think you would benefit from AWD and ground clearance. |

Both AWD and ground clearance would be useful. The C-MAX would just allow me cut my fuel costs in half. Though my driveway slopes up right at the curb, and I am not sure a normal low sitting car would get up without scraping the bottom of the bumper.

I think subaru's hybrid will be just fine! They have been working in the technology for a long time and they typically won't release a product that isn't well sorted. They are an engineering company after all.
