Does anyone else think it looks like a Rav 4?

Came in to post this exact sentiment.

Don't they all look like Rav 4's?

Agreed! It's a real pity because I really like the 1st generation Forester.

276-horsepower, 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four.... dissapointment... Twin scroll exhaust and turbo can be put on the Gen 2 Forester XT. Its not like twin scroll is something new, JDM stuff has had it since what 93' when the 22B came out?

 

 

If they are gonna put a turbo on the forester, why not do some ground breaking design like and STi forester? If I were to buy one, (and thats a big IF, I cant stand new stuff) I wouldnt buy one unless it had the 300+ hp 2.5L in it.

 

Dont get me wrong, I think its awesome that they are making a 250+ hp forester, but with it sittin @ 276 hp, why not just buy an older XT forester and put a FMIC on it and a bigger turbo and you just passed 275 hp.

wonder how much it weighs? maybe it needs 250+ to have comparable performance to the old one.

 

as for looks, maybe the BRZ isn't the only soob vehicle to get Toyota input.

They're not quite as similar as I was thinking...

Not loving that weird little snub nose on it, needs to be more aggressive.

 

What happened to straight lines? Everything seems to need curves these days. What a shame...

Aerodynamics is the reasons for curves everywhere, i do miss some boxyness. The day the Wrangler goes curvey is the day we are all doomed to driving jelly beans.

...not quite as ugly as it looks.:cool:

AAND no more hood scoop.   But bumper/fairing slits.

Ooh well, the more manufacturers get from each other the more everything looks like everything else. . . .

 

it's more towards globalization... like you can find a Starbucks and KFC anywhere, as if anywhere (San Paulo, Santiago, Bankok, Lhasa, Quito, Tegucigalpa(that's for you JesZek , Beijing),  is Seattle, Portland or Atlants.

 

 

As Kurt Vonnegut put it so well, "so it goes"

... the more manufacturers get from each other, the more everything looks like everything else...

 

I Agree, Absolutely...

 

Kind Regards.
