2009 Subaru Forester: Unsupervised Off-Road Mayhem
The last 2009 Subaru Forester we drove blew a tire, forcing us into making clichéd gay jokes. This time we took it to an off-road park and beat it like a rented mule. More » -

Subaru Forester And Impreza Boxer Diesel Bringing 37 MPG To Paris Motor Show
The Subaru Forester Diesel and Impreza Diesel are coming to next month’s Paris Motor Show equipped with the new Subaru Boxer Turbo Diesel engine. The innovatively light and compact engine is capable of delivering 145 HP and a huge 258 lb-ft of torque while returning up to 37 MPG (combined) when paired with a 6-speed manual transmission in the Forester. Hmmm, a practical, capable crossover SUV that drives well and gets 37 MPG? Yes please. But will it come to the US? Maybe. Full details after the jump. More » -

Subaru Forester Washed In Sexy Sumo Sudsfest
Oh yeah, just like that, wash that hot new 2009 Subaru Forester you bad, bad sumo wrestlers. In an effort to appeal to the target demographic of the Forester, Subie has seen fit to run a gag ad taking the classic "hot chicks washing a car in skimpy clothes" theme in all new mawashi wearing direction. There is no way to resist watching in horrified fascination and not chuckle at least a little bit. We're not sure if this garners an NSFW warning, but it's probably not something you want your boss catching you watching, if only to avoid the awkward water cooler chat later. [Youtube via AutoNorth]

2009 Subaru Forester, Part One
Is it kismet? I suspect so, as over a few short weeks, a couple of themes have begun to emerge in our Jalopnik Reviews. First, Hardigree gets his hands on a Dodge Caliber SRT4 and loses a tire. Not two weeks later, I voyage to sublime Laguna Beach, and then to Catalina Island for some hoontastic off-roadin' in the 2009 Subaru Forester, and I kill not one, but two Yokohamas. Then Siler, too, visits the Golden West and lays down rubber in a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, only to discover that the definitive sport conveyance of reckless youth feels a tad out of place on freeways, as opposed to twisting backroads. Hello! I experience ditto while slinging the new Forester around on rocky, rutted, ill-mannered, road-like pathways, later discovering that the vehicle goes all petulant on regular asphalt byways. Flurry of coincidences? Hope not. I like to think there's a higher power at work.

Detroit Auto Show: 2009 Subaru Forester for US Market Finally Revealed
OK, so Subaru's finally revealed the official images of the US-spec 2009 Forester they'll be officially showing off at the Detroit Auto Show in two weeks — only a couple of hours after the early AM press release dropped — and here they are. It looks like the 2009 JDM-spec Subaru Forester except — umm — they appear to have checked the "boy racer" box. We wonder what the import fees are on the JDM model? More » -

Detroit Auto Show: Subaru Reveals Official Plans to Reveal 2009 Subaru Forester in Detroit
Despite it being a secret to all but no one, Subie's released some paper today revealing their not-so-secret plans to reveal the US version of the 2009 Subaru Forester at the Detroit Auto Show in just two weeks. Expect the all-new Subaru to look pretty much exactly like the 2009 JDM Subaru Forester, galleried up below. Well, except for the crazy blind-spot eliminating hood-mounted side-mirror. Including that in the US model would be crazy-talk. Full press release after the jump. More » -

2009 Forester Interior Pic Leaked
The WRXers over at the NASIOC forums managed to snag the first picture we've seen of the 2009 Subura Forester interior. If this is to be believed, it looks like the Forester is going to get the autoshift as an option. Given the nav screen we're guessing this is XS or limited trim. The dash seems to maintain the three spoke/ three nob/three guage look of the previous gen, with the addition of the curved dash display with possible dual climate control info outputs.
