agree i love my massive moonroof, but i would trade it for blind spot + power liftgate in a heartbeat (i wasn't paying $1500 for that package) i can't complain, though. i got my 24 forester for $2500 under MSRP @ 2.9%
Totally agree, I keep my sunroof closed anyway. I can live without blind spot monitoring, I think the rear cross traffic alert is useful, and of course, I like a power rear hatch. I'm waiting for Subaru to have 2 small cameras inside the rear taillamp corners, looking down the lane 90 degrees so when you're backing out and you can't see what might be coming down the parking lane until your rear end (of your vehicle) is poking out into that lane already, you can look on your screen and see what's coming from both directions. Cameras are very cheap these days. They could make it standard on every Premium and above and they won't have a car sitting on the lot for more than a week! I think Honda has several views to their backup camera and one is a pretty darn good fisheye view.
Hmmm, I don't like new exterior look. Interior is basically copied from Outback, and no improvements in performance. I hope gen 7 will be better. In general Forester is a great all around car, where you need good snow traction.
