Forester XTI Concept

[M.J.]

Practically Wicked
Can a vehicle be both wicked and practical? The Subaru Forester XTI answers
with a roomy interior and a lot of turbo boost.

Now, why don't they make a production car similar to this?

The SUV is so passe. This could be the Forester for younger folks,
or at least the young at heart.

I don't. Sure it looks nice but I don't want a crossover. Lack of
roof rack for better lines takes away one of the reasons I bought a
Forester. I just look at this as SUV's morphing back to hatchbacks.

The hatch-crossover type vehicles are
the future IMO; combining good looks a
somewhat elevated ride and utility.

Here;s what I really like, Saab 93X

Here is another one, I hope Subaru goes
this direction, it would be a natural to morph
the WRX, or Forester into a crossover like this

I hope Subaru will come up with a cross-over soon.
It should be very exceedingly easy for them to do so,
-out of a Forester or a raised Impreza.

Well, Subaru is often credited with CREATING the crossover category -
with the Outback.

It seems the old Forester was more of a silent precursor,
especially the Sport version. Though no one seemed to
know what to call this type of vehicle a few years back.
