It will be a Chevy in India.

As for the re-design, it is much better then the B9 and the rumored Impreza redesign.

I don't think it's ugly. Just nothing great about it.

"equal length/constant pulsation independent exhaust system"

Did they just say headers? I'm all confused.

It looks like every other small SUV sold in America. So it will probably sell well. Which is good, because it means more money for Subaru to make faster cars with.

I've never really liked the look of the Forrester, and this one looks no better or worse, just more generic. But it's still about 10,000 times better than that ugly-ass Tribeca. I can live with it.

The assbeca would look *way* better if it was just a big version of the Forester.
