2009 subaru forester

 Subaru's third-generation 2009 Forester is the latest vehicle in the Japanese automaker's U.S. lineup to undergo an extensive makeover. It arrives in the wake of the recent, much-publicized and scrutinized launch of the Impreza and signature WRX and WRX STI variants.

As is the norm with an extensively revised model, the 2009 Forester has gotten bigger (wheelbase grows 3.6-inches to 103.0) and safer (side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, stability and traction control are now standard on all models). But despite its efforts to supersize, refine and otherwise smooth out the new Forester, Subaru has attempted to keep vehicle's sporty, small wagon spirit alive by holding overall length to just three inches longer than the outgoing car.
