I'll keep it in mind. This is for my Mom , and I think she is going to do a weekend test drive on the FX35. She really wants the FX, but has two big dogs and the rear storage are is kinda small for them.
I think she will probably end up with the Saab and the straight-6 engine

I have never had a customer complain on a b9 test drive. it's double wishbone in the back and coilover setup in front. If you want come drive it over here in downtown subaru :P haha jp .. buh yea go with a rx400h, save da enviroment. 
Is this a rumor or they will actually turbo it? 2.5 turbo or something else?

i'm 80% sure that it is confirmed that the h6 is gonna be turboed .. they were considering twin turbo charging for a second from what i heard but that was scratched out.

Of course for those who can't wait Rallitek is supposedly putting together a turbo kit.

they've had the forrester out. it just didnt have the lower gears (or a transfer case) like the exploder. grand cherokee, etc.
they are following in the FX/murano, the cayenne/touareg and others.
nothing more than a slightly lifted station wagon...
sigh....
when will all this madness end?
oh yeah... when the gas pumps start hitting $5...

Gas hitting $5/gallon is coming. Everywhere in the world they pay taxes up the wazoo so the price per liter is $1 or more. When I complained in my Euro forum they flamed me that I have the cheapest gas price even at $3 per gallon.

You guys are funny! I expect my Camaro buddy's to overlook crappy brakes and handling in favor of more power; but not Subie guys
