Like it or loathe it the newer version of the OB has just be revealed in the US.  Basically it's boxier, looking to over shadow the Forester (?), but at least it's reverted to more buttons on the dash like the older Gen 5.

We'll apparently never see it here in the UK given the car hating governments we've been saddled with recently. So is this the end of the OB in Europe? Guess so.

TBH subaru has never been a big seller in the uk, they arn't exactly customer focused like most other brands, my parents just picked up their brand new crosstrek a few weeks back and the choice's they had to make to select it were very limited, limited colour availability even from the very small options lisy, only 2 trim levels (which is basicly cloth and no sunroof or leather seats and sunroof) and only cvt gearbox creates a very limited customer base. Don't get me wrong, the crosstrek is a very nice car, its just from a customer experiance its you get what you get.
