I'm sure they talked about it kasi malapit na and it was their best seller before the 2.0R pero kaya maraming tao dahil all-out ang support ng MI sa equally active SCP who were having a "meeting" over free lechon and pizza.

Talk about how active SCP is ... some sub-group somewhere meets once or even twice a week, every week!

Just go to the MI website bro ... specs shouldn't be too far from the 08.

should be the same as the previous model in terms of engines specs, but Interior finish quality is better and bigger cabin .

can't go wrong with this car, we Impreza boys have difficulty getting loose from the stock FXTs during Fun Runs.

Got to check out the Forester (and test drive the 2.5 a bit) earlier today and maganda pala sya!

2.0L price is 1,288,000 and it has these as standard: HID, fog lights, large moonroof, driver side power seats, 6-disc changer, steering controls/cruise control, etc.

2.5L Turbo price is 1,698,000 and difference is some external kit like bigger rims and leather seats.

I think best buy yung 2.0L if you look at the specs (esp if vs. something like CRV) but I don't know how powerful the engine or how good/bad fuel consumption will be.

I got these from the websites. Mukhang for 08 models pero di naman siguro lalayo ang 09:

CRV 2.0 -- HP=150 PS * 6200 rpm // Torque -- 19.4 kgm * 4200 rpm
Forester 2.0 -- HP=158 * 6400 rpm // Torque -- 19 kgm *3200 rpm

CRV 2.4 -- HP=170 * 5800 rpm // Torque -- 22.2 kgm * 4200 rpm
Forester 2.5 -- HP=230 * 5600 rpm // Torque -- 32.6 kgm * 3600 rpm

Performance-wise, it seems sa 2.5 lamang ng malaki ang Forester (I believe it's the fastest CUV available short of the higher model bimmers). Lalo na considering internet feedback so far says mas matipid pa sa gas ang XT kesa sa CRV 2.4.

Sa 2.0 mukhang halos pareho. Pero the Foz 2.0 has AWD standard while the CRV does not. Kaya expect acceleration to be owned by the Foz ... sa dulo naman halos patas lang. Mahuli man Foz ng konti dahil sa weight lang siguro. And I believe it has more kit ...

Went to Subaru showroom yesterday, dami ng available units pero mukhang nakareserve na lahat.. very nice interior and exterior..spacious sa loob. IMO sulit yung base model sa features, mura na..kaya bili na bago pa tumaas

[mendozil]

[SIZE="2"]yup! was fortunate enough to have seen it last monday. formal viewing at the showroom will be this saturday. i think that's their launch date. i was informed, though that some already got their units. look out for those lucky guys out on the road.

i find it to be a very good looking ride. the only thing that hindered us from buying one 3 years ago was the very short rear legroom.

the 09 model has excess legroom now, and is bigger all around with a bigger trunk, reclining rear seats cool cabin lights and taller stance. it doesn't look like a wagon anymore. to some that might be a put-off, but to me it's just perfect.

i can't wait to get one.

i'm now selling my almost 3 year old Mazda Tribute... anyone?


peace out![/SIZE]
