Hi guys, I'm new to the boards. I will be getting a new subaru within the next few months. I have done the reseach and have decided on the Outback 2.5 XT Ltd. Wagon w/ NAVI, with auto tranny. It seems to have everything that I need and will use. The question is for 2000.00 dollars is the navigation system worth it. For those the have it does it display somewhat accurate information. I know navigation systems are not popular around here, have done a search. I like the fact it will tell me the tire pressure, maintance schedule, memo options, finding a restaurants, gas stations, and other stuff. The main purprose for this vehicle it to do long trips, camping, and some light to medium offroading, not rock climbing but country roads. So for those who know, is the navigation system worth the money. Lastly, does anyone know when the next years models come out(2007). I would hate to make a deal on a outback then have the next years, and the leverage that would bring, model come out. I was reading on edmunds forum, post #815, that it is this May. Is this true?
