New Outback
We are both very disapponted withthe styling of the 2010 OUTBACK.
It is now much bigger and heavier looking more crossover type like the Forester than station wagon type, like the Legacy. We have had '96, & '97 Outbacks and currently have a 2007 OB XT. The styling cues seem to be taken from Chevy Tahoe, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Edge. I walked around one yesterday morning as it was being prepared for the showroom floor. I definitely do not like the styling.

Re: New Outback
I don't like them either as we have a few at work. The new 2010 Legacy isn't bad, I like how the fenders flare out.

Re: New Outback
I saw the 2010 Outback as well and was unimpressed. It looked to me more like a crossover and less like a car.

Re: New Outback
Once upon a time Subaru actually designed some of the cleanest wagons in the world. Now they don't even make a Legacy Wagon. I guess they couldn't keep up with the Volvo's, BMWs and other upscale wagons they want to so much be associated with that they simply stopped making it in favor of an updated AMC Eagle.
Yet another reason why my next car purchase will be a Ford product. That is unless Ford unloads Volvo before then.

Re: New Outback
Nobody ever likes the styling of any new Subarus. They take a while to grow on you, I think in few months or years it will look better to us.
