It is a leaked brochure photo. So, that's prolly it.

This would solve my problem with the XV, which is the headroom, as the new model is even taller than the current Forester. Hahaha!

If Europe gets this 2013, should we get it around that time as well? Should be priced higher than the XV though.

Edit: Per caradvice.com.au, which has picked up the story, the Forester will be launched in Australia early first quarter of 2013 as confirmed by Subaru Australia.

The XV was launched in PH early last year, and up to now, sales have not stabilized yet due to lack of supply. Should be same timetable for the Forester then.

not really diggin the new corporate grille, but the redesigned bumpers actually make it look nice.

yeah i just hope the 6speed tranny of the new fxt isn't as much as a failure as the sti a-line's tranny.

O

i hope so, since i'm looking forward to get another subie.

you can't really compare the santa fe to the forester.
