Pricing seems to be getting to the 'high end' of value, but the new additions are very welcomed. Until they put all the new stuff on the Forester, the Outback seems like a great buy - and top end to top end, it's ~$3,000 more than the Forester, but you get a ton more stuff (and a 3.6H instead of the 2.0T).
HMMMM!!! What to do, what to do!
I should give the Outback a drive - I don't remember how big/little it drives, being larger than the Forester.
