What we think
Subaru has seen great success with the Forester, so it wasn't necessary, nor would it make a lot of sense, to mess too much with a winning vehicle. They can leave that challenge for the redesign. Changes to the 2006 Subaru Forester are indeed subtle, but we think it's a good move in updating the model enough to keep it competitive and fresh while not being so drastic as to alienate potential customers.
