PopsicleMud Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Surely I'm not the only one reminded of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from Vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wb 86 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I kind of like it, but I'm partial to the faux woody look, I had a 80's K-car wagon with similiar trim. The styling is so ugly and yet it grows on me, however far be it from me to comment on style and taste. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 you guys havnt heard? its a special type of camoflauge for lumberyards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopsicleMud Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 HAHAHAHAHA i forgot about that.. i think that was a chrysler product. The Family Truckster was a modified Ford LTD Wagon. They dropped the bumper, covered up the grill, and doubled up on the headlights and tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSub Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've always wanted a woody (no snickers!!), but I have top admit it looks weird on a Forester. Maybe there would be a way to do and make it look cool. The paint should definately be something other than brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there would be a way to do and make it look cool. The paint should definately be something other than brown. Hey I like that. I always liked the old woody wagons, and I think the forester looks pretty good as one. Way better than silver or tan that most cars nowdays come in. Bleah. I do think that dark blue or red would better than brown. I especially like the big chrome hubcaps -- maybe it's just me, but alloy wheels never did it for me.

blitz Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Some funny comments on this thread! IMO it looks so bad it's almost cool. Obviously inspired by the success of the PT cruiser and the release of the HHR, Subaru unfortunately is once again following rather than leading. Honestly I was waiting for GM to stick a miniature Hummer body over the top of the Forester and call the H4 (get it?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 and the cooment said it was a show car. Like blitz I don't find it too bad but mine sure gets grubby a lot and it looks harder to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Got it. Good one blitz. And I wouldn't have put it past GM either!I'll tell ya ...the Impreza II platform's proven itself to be durable and versatile, so it really wouldnt've been THAT far-fetched to actually pull it off. It would've been a logical extension of the US auto industry's perverse business-model of making trucks more "car-like". (at this point my foregone conclusion is that the Koreans will have a runaway hit with the radical idea of building trucks which are more "truck-like".)

Jack in Norfolk Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 That is great! It looks awesome! Kind of like the old gen 1 and 2 wagons with the wood kits. I guess the similarity is only in the wood though since this forester, like all of them (in the states) has plastic bumpers and no dual range, but the appearance is stellar. The paint is actually red, not brown. If you do a google search for foreseter woody you will find more pics from the Chicago auto show in 99. One of them has it displayed with a gen 1 wagon in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
