Subaru Crosstrek

I was happy to see that the Crosstrek was finally being released in the US. I know it has been in other countries for a while. I think it looks like great car. This is probably old news for you folks that keep up with the auto industry, but for me it is the first time I saw it on Subaru's site. Has anyone on the forum driven one?

Re: Subaru Crosstrek

Ive heard of it, but thought it was something different. That looks like an Impreza wagon with a few more inches of ride height. Is this just a new Outback Sport, or am i missing something? Impreza or Legacy platform? (hard to tell anymore)

That's exactly what it is. An Impreza Outback Sport reboot.

It's no uglier than anything else being rolled-out these days, and the only Subaru offering I find remotely interesting. Maybe I'll buy a '13 model in 10 years.

Re: Subaru Crosstrek

I don't find it ugly, quite the opposite. I'm not really one for SUVs but this is one that I could see myself in.

Is it against the rules to be a redundant, predictable bore? Now go back to your online gaming, slacker-boy.
