Hi All,
This is my first post. I've been reading this forum for a while, and think this community is great! A lot of good information shared and a lot of friendly/helpful folks.
I'm looking to purchase a new Forester X MT to replace my old car. I don't need to right now as it's still running ok, but it is quite elderly ('84 Accord, 290k miles).
I'd really like to get the 2010, mainly because of 1st model year reliability or quirks. I know that Subaru's an excellent brand as far as quality and reliability are concerned, but most cars have at least some small issue fixed between first and second years. If I don't need to wait too long for the 2010, then I'd prefer to.
I've read that the 2010s are supposed to come out in the April/May timeframe, which is fine by me. Then I read that it won't be until August/September, and I don't want to wait that long. My dealer says June, but since I don't haven't built a relationship with him yet, I don't know how much I can trust that statement.
So do any of you have any good information on the release date, or is it just too early to tell?
And a related question, do Subarus typically release at different times for different parts of the country? I'm in the Portland, OR area if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.
