Looks like a pregnant outback.

Is it going to be considered a van? Or is that the Tribeca replacement?

I think it is essentially the new Tribeca. 3 rows of seating. Not really a van, just looks like one. I see eyesight, fog light pods that look like WRX. Grill, headlight and taillights that look like Outback.

Really hoping that the third row and trunk space is big enough. It would suck if it's a slightly bigger Outback with a third row.

I definitely see a lot of Forester styling as well.

No sliding doors = not a minivan. Looks like a Mazda CX-9/Honda Pilot competitor, which Subaru needs to be competitive in this market (as much as it pains me to say that).

SOA...what this market really needs is a 6mt WRX hatch or turbo-charged Crosstrek. Pretty please!

I think a lot of us have said we'd buy a turbo XV. At least you can get a manual now. (so you could swap an FA + 6sp in there )

Levorg...

Was mildly excited about the Levorg until I looked into it.

I have been eyeing this (and there are a few):

...but don't really need a car until Novemberish.

Probably just watch what Subaru is doing from the inside of a Toyota for now.
