We were looking at the Subaru Forester MY 2011 because they had some upgrades over the previous generation and had a timing chain instead of a belt, among other things.
The Outback seems to be a nice option too. Did I read it right that the Forester requires Premium fuel?

Stefano, are children in the picture at some point? If so, wait on your purchase.
Of the 3 you have listed, it would be a toss up b/w the Subaru and Toyota. With the birth of our first child, we knew my wife's VW Cabrio would be less than ideal for a safe kid hauler. We ended up with a 2 y.o. Lexus RX for $18K off the msrp over buying new. The 100K Lexus warranty was an incentive as well. Good luck with your decision.

What about these three, at least they'll hold their value longer, have better fuel economy, last longer, drive better, not Japanese, ect.

The trouble with a new car-like AWD is that you can't really use it in a fun way. You are more likely to bottom out, and hitting a big rock or tree limb thats hidden in the snow will tear up thin metal pretty easily. You end up driving like a granny for fear of expensive body or undercarriage damage, so even if it gets you out of a bind and feels a little more capable, its not necessarily fun.
