From Autoblog. Looks good actually. In comparison to say the new WRX and Tribeca.

While there's no way to verify if this particular sketch foretells the future of the Subaru Forester, we think it's probably not too far off the mark. Considering Subaru's blandification of its lineup – from the Impreza to the Tribeca – the new nose seems entirely plausible, and the upkicked D-pillar seems to be all the rage nowadays.

As in the past, the Forester will be built atop the Impreza platform, so we can expect a slightly longer wheelbase that won't necessity Yoga-like poses for passengers entering and exiting the rear seats. More trunk space out back is also assured, while power will likely come from the same naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter found in the base Impreza. We're not going to hold our breath (again) for an STI variant, but we think it's simply a matter of time before Subaru throws in the turbo'd mill from the WRX to make another XT version of the Forester.

I see a Forester-ish front end attached to a Dodge Caliber. Ugh. :(

Yea I see that Caliber rear. With the Caliber though the reason I think it looks so bad is because it's so stubby. The Forester is longer though so maybe proportionally it'll look better. Who knows. ;)

Subaru has been lame as of recent.
The stars are not in proper alignment for them.

I like it, I think it is a big improvement over the current forester, which I think looks like total crap designed in korea 15 years ago.

I also like the caliber. I rented one for a week while on vacation this past summer. It's actually a pretty good car, a big improvement over the neon, I'd say.

Looks like a Ford to me.

I think it's the headlights and big blue oval in the grill.

Who cares about SUV's and all these wannabe-car mini-SUV's, they're all ugly and tasteless, I was hoping this thread was going to be about a new Subaru car.
