Subaru Forester Attractive Cars

The Subaru Forester is an all-wheel drive station wagon, now crossover, manufactured since 1997 by Fuji Heavy Industries. Available in Japan from 1997, in the United States from 1998, the Forester shared its platform with the Impreza up to the third generation and now features a hybrid platform of the Japanese Impreza wagon and the rear platform of the U.S.-spec Impreza sedan. The Forester was designed and built with four-wheel drive (AWD) as standard equipment. Currently, the Forester is a station wagon version of Impreza, which the wagon version is dropped and replaced with the 5-door crossover hatchback.The Forester was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show November 1995 as the "Sutoriga" (Stalker) concept, and made available for sale February 1997 in Japan, and to the US market in 1998 using the Impreza platform but with the larger 2.5 liter DOHC EJ25D four-cylinder boxer engine from the Outback, making 165 hp (123 kW) at 5600 rpm and 162 lb·ft (220 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm. In Japan, the Forester replaced the Subaru Impreza Gravel Express, known in the USA as the Subaru Outback Sport. The Forester appeared after the introduction of the Nissan Rasheen in Japan with a similar appearance, and the Forester's Japanese competitors include the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V, the Mitsubishi RVR, and the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The name "forester" is meant to imply the vehicle is "of the forest". Due to the Forester's low center of gravity, it meets the United States federal safety standards for Passenger Vehicles, and does not require a risk of rollover warning label on the driver's visor. Size and price wise it fits between the shared Impreza platform, and the larger Legacy.A second generation was introduced in 2003, based on the new Impreza platform, featuring several fine-tune improvements over the past model. The 2003 Forester features weight-saving refinements such as an aluminum hood, perforated rails, and a hydro-formed front sub-frame. The most noticeable change was the offering of 2.5 L versions (normally aspirated and turbocharged) and in the U.S. the introduction of the turbo charged 2.5L model.The third generation Forester was styled by Subaru Chief Designer Mamoru Ishii. The dimensions derive from engineers using the basic body structure of the Japanese-spec Impreza wagon with the rear platform of the U.S.-spec Impreza sedan. The Forester's wheelbase has increased 3.5 inches (89 mm), with overall increases of 3.0 inches (76 mm) in length, 1.8 inches (46 mm) in width and 4.3 inches (110 mm) in height. Notably, the third generation Forester forgoes the frameless side windows used on Subarus since the early 1970s. The third generation embraces the car based SUV, and leaves behind the older wagon design; it's larger in nearly every dimension, taller, and features a sloping roof line with more cargo space.For 2011, the Subaru Forester gets a new grill, and the XT receives a new exclusive rear spoiler. The naturally aspirated Foresters adone a new DOHC 2.5l FB25 and 2.0l flat four FB20.

Subaru Outback Wins Motor Trend Award - 2010 Sport Utility of the Year - Subaru forester

Motor Trend magazine has named Subaru Outback Sport 2010 changed the Utility of the Year, the second year in a row that Subaru has won the prize.

For 2009, the redesigned Subaru Forester SUV won the coveted award.

"The 2010 Subaru Outback offers a unique combination of comfort, efficiency, flexibility and value," said Angus MacKenzie, Motor Trend editor in chief. "It boasts a car-like repair, drivability and gas mileage on the road, but it is as capable in the rough stuff like all but the most off-road sport utility focused."

Outback is selected from the fields of new or substantially upgraded vehicles, including many of today's popular crossover, which has been sold in 12 months from November 1 last year.

During the difficult economic climate in 2009, Subaru is one of the few car manufacturers who make consistent profits in the sale, from year to year.

"To win the award for the 2009 Forester is quite beautiful, but has won the 2010 Outback for this year truly remarkable achievement," said Thomas J. Doll, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America Inc. "Subaru Outback is an icon of performance and capability and the original SUV alternative. Now with improved strength, and increasing economic dimension is the complete package."

Motor Trend editor tests contestants on the SUV three-phase system of roads, traffic and off-road conditions, and to judge their progress in terms of design, engineering excellence, the function is, safety and value, the magazine said.

Fans rejoice fast Subarus - the new luxury sports car performance is 'Winging' in

Japanese companies have plans for the new coupe, based on the gullwing-doored Tourer concept Hybrid (left) which debut at the Tokyo Motor Show next week.

The possibility to use the same platform as the Hybrid Tourer, the power will come from the turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine, although electric hybrid drivetrain, like the concept, is possible. An insider said Subaru cars will target fine motor performance such as the Vauxhall VXR8, the instructions on the label near the price of £ 40,000.

The SVX is the replacement of an additional £ 20,000 coming coupĂ©, another car FT-86 which has been jointly developed by Subaru Toyota
. O Set revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010, he will use the same body as FT-86 - not a new design, as has been speculated - with some style cues to distinguish Subaru.
