by Subarujunkie on 27-08-09 06:14 PM its different, but im unsure at the moment, i'll leave it till i see it in the flesh to make up my mind on it, so far not to bad..the inside looks okay but a bit poor like then gen 4, maybe im used to the B4... |

by vik on 27-08-09 10:36 PM Styling wise it's a personal choice,there will be those that love it, but with those huge side mirrors, Toyota Aurion feel interior, longer/wider base, 5 speed auto in a 60k+ car, the 2.5ltr will still struggle to cope with the weight, size and awd, the headlights that look like we save on paint and Metal if we whack these massive cheap looking headlight that almost tickle ur toes, and that cheap plastic chrome around all the windows that are now framed,it's just not Subaru. Don't get me wrong,it's better build, more features, latest safety and still is a good car, debadge it and u'll be like hmmm, what is it meant to be. But the Outback, Bravo Subaru, looks great, and the 3.6ltr is as fast as the auto XT Turbo Foz, it's got that all round Subaru feel and you know what the car is built for. Just my 2 cents worth,alot off people and me left disappointed and confused. |

by donuts_mmm on 27-08-09 11:12 PM I don't think they look too bad, subaru is just keeping up with honda etc, it reminds me of the accord with the shiny bits and the bulkyness... Interior looks awesome though, but i still like Gen3 and Gen4 better over all i think. |

by vik on 28-08-09 01:39 PM I was at Docaster Subaru, they had a black 2.5 Liberty, a Blue GT wag and and Silver Outback 3.6ltr. Gift bag was disappointing, at the Impreza preview we got Cd case, keyring and pen set. I'm doing a test drive soon, good to see the on road changes. What kills me is that rear, WTF r they thinking, surely a Yanky Doodle designed the Liberty, the Outback is really nice. |

by vik on 30-08-09 04:16 PM Mate, No1 was taking any photo's, wasn't sure if it was allowed so no flash was used. I only snapped/reviewed away so u lads get a look and feel before it's release later next month. Like I said, the Gen 5 didn't interest me. Saying that, if u like it, feeling horny about the new direction where Subaru is heading, enjoy it. |

by XoN on 30-08-09 04:45 PM I'd say nobody was taking photos because they didn't want the ugly car cracking their lenses vik |
