It's the 2008 Forester with squarish angular body and just slightly longer, wider and taller body. The new CRV is still much longer. wider and taller than the newly redesigned forester. BUT check out the engine of the top-of-the-line forester: 2-liter turbo with a whopping 250 horses. That's right, a smaller engine than our current 2.5-liter xti and yet with 20 more horses on call. Apparently, it's going be to be same engine as the new hatchback wrx coming soon. That's the latest from the forester end.
