Hello,

Josh: We all know Blue is faster.

All: Next thing you know, they'll bring this motor in the Forrester and the whole import business will be all upsidedown.

I'm with Chris and the i-Speed guys. I don't wish anyone to crash their new STi, but I smell motorswaps coming.

I hope that day is not far off, I'd love to see that engine in a Forester or a Legacy. I figure it's only a matter of time.

I can't believe people were thinking of going to Mitshubishi.

They are inferior.

Case in point:

We all know the 2003 Outlander is a Forester knockoff.
My brother has a 1999 Forester, which I've driven exstensively. I rented a 2003 Outlander (asked for a Subaru) for about 4 days. Ummm. It looked cool, I guess. Anemic engine, and somehow manages to get worse mileage than the Forester. Harsh ride. Other than that it's a pretty basic car (made from the Lancer). Oh yeah. The 2003 Outlander basically has five years on the design of my brother's Subaru. Couldn't it have been on par with his?
