While checking out some steelies for the Subie's winter tires this morning, I happened upon the new Forester turbo. Huh? Is this thing really faster than the WRX? They had a mag article showing a 5.3 0-60! Cripes!

What a sleeper that thing could be. Peel the "XT" decal off the back just in case, and go hunting! Too bad about the durned hood scoop.

For $37,000 it is a tad expensive, but pretty cheap for something that has AWD and goes like skin-hell.

Redefines the term "family hauler"

Is Subaru on a roll, or what?

The XT has a detuned 2.5l very conservatively rated at 215hp or something like that. It fits between the WRX and STi in real power terms. Shouldn't take much to unleash the full STi wrath in an XT.

I'm surprised MB hasn't raised a flag on the taillight treatment.

If I find a saleperson I like there will be one in my driveway very very soon.

Cheap, Fast, Sporty, AWD, Reliable what did I miss?
