Adoniram Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The production version was announced about a month ago: http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3664972.1511966854!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/2019-subaru-ascent-dashboard.jpg https://www.subaru.com/ascent Speculated ~26mpg. Stated 500 mile range, 260 hp turbo boxer, 277 lb-ft torque. 5000 lb tow rating. Slow to 60 (7.9 I think), but I guess that's not what you're buying this car for... I don't about anyone else but with two kids under 3 years old, putting them into and out of their car seats is getting to be a pain in a sedan (to say nothing of putting a dual stroller in the trunk)... We rented a Hyundai Santa Fe on vacation once, and holy sweet jeebus no wonder families get big SUVs! Anyway... I'm pretty stoked about this one. We are seriously considering selling the '07 Acura TL Type-S for this... Ascent comes with (optional) heated/ventilated seats, CarPlay, 2nd row captain's chairs, etc etc etc... Any thoughts?

DickDastardly00 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My wife wants to test drive one next Summer, looks way better than the Tribeca, a lot more cargo space and roomier interior. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
