IcEWoLF Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just noticed this on Subaru JP website: https://sp.subaru.jp/forester/forester/ It has a countdown on the web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yup and leaked photos of the letdown here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5771774&postcount=573 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcEWoLF Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I see, I was hoping for a more aggressive look in the back. But gotta see it in person before I pass on the judgement, also I want to check what they did in the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcEWoLF Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks for the link, it’s a damn shame Subaru is axing the XT...I might tell my dad if he wants the XT he should go for it this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not really digging the rear styling. Hope that’s not going to follow on all models. Looks like the back of a Honda Odyssey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeye Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks for the link, it’s a damn shame Subaru is axing the XT...I might tell my dad if he wants the XT he should go for it this year! I would think a FA DIT forester XT will RE-appear sooner or later. (2.4, 2.0). I have not read anything about it though, ...such announcements maybe made next week, just after they pull the tarp. no hood scoop on the ascent,...so no easy way to look for turbos hiding under a tarp. but maybe more news on a 250hp electric hybrid. (some hybrid / electric should be on sale by subaru in december 2019). __ hopefully there is a quantum leap on front seat comfort vs. what narrow hard things have been used in the foresters since 2011.

YeuEmMaiMai Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 the single most thing that turns me off is the dashboard, it's bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 At least it has a tach. The Toyota Camry hybrids don't even have a tach. They make my heart hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I would think a FA DIT forester XT will appear sooner or later. (2.4, 2.0). The current Forester XT is a 2.0 DIT: https://www.subaru.com/vehicles/forester/features.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeye Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The current Forester XT is a 2.0 DIT: https://www.subaru.com/vehicles/forester/features.html fixed my previous post. to "RE-appear" as around November / December of 2017 there were news stories, they were pulling the turbo Forester from the line up for 2019. what is on the lots now are 2018 US spec. what is under the tarp at the NYC autoshow is the 2019 US spec.

eagleeye Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 the correct US time should be Wed March 28, at 1:45pm EDT March 29 as referenced in the thread title and on the japan subaru site's countdown clock is from them being on the west side of the dateline. subaru seems to like the NYC autoshow for pulling tarps on new bodies. next year maybe the 2020 outback. ________ 2015 legacy sedan was revealed before that around Feb 2014 in Chicago. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/best-cars-blog/2014/02/2015-subaru-legacy-loses-manual-transmission-gains-mpgs so maybe again in Chicago 2019 for the 2020 legacy. opens Feb 9-18, 2019 as per https://www.chicagoautoshow.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I wonder when they will come with a viable hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeye Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I wonder when they will come with a viable hybrid. last discussion I saw of that, said one would be on sale Dec. 2018. I would think it will be a Forester or a Crosstrek. with the aid of toyota stuff. article from Feb. 2018: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/02/09/subaru-phev-prius--parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I hope its not a ho-hum attempt like the last one. I would think they would be looking at an engine smaller than the 2.0 with the hybrid system to make a bigger dent in the fuel economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Would love to see a legit hybrid in the Outback trim. So much cargo room to work with there, would be great spot for the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Would love to see a legit hybrid in the Outback trim. So much cargo room to work with there, would be great spot for the battery.

FLlegacy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Inflicting on the cargo space would contradict the vehicle purpose. I think he means putting a battery in place of all the foam under the current floor/spare tire well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That's it, yeah. Not replacing the cargo space, at least not all of it. I figure if they made a battery that was around 2-3" thick - maybe more - the size of the whole cargo area... I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think he means putting a battery in place of all the foam under the current floor/spare tire well. Which also would suck because then there wouldn't be any chance to bring a spare unless they come up with another solution for a full size spare. And I use one of the other season wheels as a spare.

FLlegacy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not in the space for the spare, the surrounding foam in the floor in that area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
