New pictures of the Subaru Forester

The recent leaked pictures or scans of the next-generation Forester didn't render properly the car but a new shots taken in real conditions enables us to have a closer look at the Forester, which will be unveiled in a few days.
To be perfectly honest, the current model offers a dull look, a hybrid design that tries to combine the advantages of an estate and some off-road abilities on platform taken from a smaller model. With the new model, Subaru makes a huge step in the right direction by finally giving a SUV look to the Forester. Without a doubt, the Forester would do well compared to the Mitsubishi Outlander or the Land Rover Freelander.
The design is still very Japanese with a lack of personality, but at least the Forester didn't try to adopt the fascia of the B9 Tribeca or the Hannibal Lecter grille of the Peugeot 4007. Combined with the boxer-engine, the Matured design might give the Forester a boost.
