That pic I posted is the upcoming Outback. Disgusting!
I like the Crosstrek even though it's a bit gutless. To me it should be most geared to work as an off-road beast and somewhat nimble city car.
Whereas the Outback (and Impreza) should feel in any conditions like a full-size
sedan saloon feels on a summer highway. In my limited test drive of a 5th gen it felt more like a truck to me than a car or even crossover (but honestly not enough of a highway test to really judge). I have a Honda Crosstour which delivers the wagon=car thing...I've never driven anything else that feels so planted to the highway
The Forester can continue to be for soccer moms who wear pristine Patagonia puffers.
