Watch out for soccer moms in Foresters

When I first read the review of the new Subaru Forester 2.5XT in this months C&D I thought there was a misprint.

0-60: 5.3 sec
1/4 mi: 13.8 sec

Yeah, it's ugly as sin, but those numbers are insane for a $25k box.

It really makes you think about who you want to challenge at the traffic light. :confused:

Yep, that forced induction 2.5 is a beast of an engine. That "you just got beat by a wagon" bumper sticker will be seen on more than just some WRXs now...

I wonder how many they'll sell. One a related note, my drives a normally aspirated Forrester and I just replaced my old daily driver with a Legacy sedan. The Subaru normally aspirated 2.5 is a nice engine for a 4 cylinder. Lots of torque.

I know they are selling at least one...

My wife has always driven Subaru Wagons. I could not convince her that she wnated the new STI. Our new Forester XT should be arrving any day...

Just wait, the 2005 wagons are rumored to offer a sport model with the 2.5 and twin turbos.

I'd like to see the the 280hp Legacy B4 come to the US.

The closest we can get is the version of the B4 they have in Gran Turismo 3...
