Irony at its finest.

probably not a real ad, since ads can't name their competitors by name

There is no way a Forester with five people in it can beat a Z. That is false advertisement.

You think Nissan can sue these guys for this ad? If not then I think Nissan should start talking some crap about Subbies on their ads.

AZZGUY

Not to worry about the Subbies! They are an entirely different breed of auto owners - no competition for Nissan --

phile

OMG. I'm going to make a new post, and we should make it a sticky!

ATTENTION: THE VERY FIRST SUBARU AD POSTED IN THIS THREAD IS A FAKE. ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE (No, i'm not talking about the "two dikes and a cocker spaniel" one, because that is obviously fake.)

That forester ad came from a Subaru forum. It is not a real subaru ad.

It's a freakin Wagon. Who cares?

You have a classy sports car. They have a ready to break station wagon.

I'm quite sure I've seen that ad in my local newpaper first before even seeing it online. I'm pretty sure it's real.

u gotta admit...that is a great add, makes u tingle inside

phile

No, it's not. Scan me the paper and I will believe you.

All I know is that the Subaru needs more than performance to make up for the ugly design and styling.

My friend has a WRX and when the ladies have to choose between whose car they want to ride in they always pick my 350Z. Its too bad I don't have room in the back.

Subaru needs to design some new body styles.

na dont hate on subaru...i thnk their aggressive body style works for many people, just a matter of taste i think. Besides subaru tech. international spent years designing an approriate model to bring to the u.s. I thnk they did a good job carrying over the rally perspective...

The Forester vehicle is a mini-SUV, not meant to be a styling statement like the Z. Compared to the other SUVs on the road the Forester is not ugly at all. It is meant to be practical, not stylish, just like every other SUV on the planet.

The Forestor would be a perfect family vehicle where you need to haul people and stuff. The fact it can do 0-60 in 5.3, or 6.1, is pretty impressive in a segment where most Mini-SUVs run in the 8.0-9.0s. Subaru just raised the bar.

I wouldn't mind having this car right beside my Z. Lets face it, no SUV will ever look as good as a sports car. The Forester however combines practicality with performance, and I think Subaru did a great job with this SUV.

EDIT: By the way, Subaru might have underated the power of this engine. That 210HP must be at the crank. Probably for insurance purposes I guess.

Those things are pretty fast - easily walked away from my wifes Murano

eazy

.....and while that pile of metal is barrel rolling off the side of the interstate, the 350z is firmly planted to the ground and accelerating for more!
