Not bad.

Also, holy crap, Toyota has suddenly started making good interiors?

My feelings are mixed...

I do like it but it does not look off road capable. I could be wrong but it looks like dirt roads at best.

My future dilemma is that my 03 4R is not getting any younger. I would love another 4th gen but the head gaskets scare me. The 5th gens are still out of reach of me and my wallet.

I really want something with decent off road capability. I do not exactly wheel anything too crazy but I am often on logging roads and skidder trails. I do not think the Rav 4 would quite cut it.

I hate to see BOF disappearing the way it is. I am open to the idea of another brand but I do not like it.

It's a Subaru fighter at best.

I see alot of Subaru Outback coming though in the adventure model. I'm pretty sure this is the demographic they're going after with this one.

I think the unpainted fender flares look pretty good and add some contrast.

Agree that the interior looks very impressive.
 
The rear view mirror is actually an LCD screen and there is an exterior camera dedicated to it. I wonder how that will work in actual use (especially at night). This is probably going to be a trend we'll see on many vehicles now.....but I'm not sure why a simple mirror doesn't do the job.
 
Overall, I like it. I think this will give those who are considering both the CRV and Rav4 an option to stay in that realm while having something more off-road "worthy."
 
I wish they hadn't slanted the back so much. One of the benefits of the current body shape is that you get a bit more room in the cargo b/c the slope is steeper.

Go for a 2007-09 4runner and you won’t have to worry about the head gaskets.
 
Overall I do like it and I think it would be a good commuter car for me. I don’t think it would be very off-road worthy but who knows I’ve come across some surprising vehicles in the middle of nowhere that do just fine.
 
Really, really like the interior (minus the trendy "iPad" infotainment thing). Exterior isn't bad - would look a lot better with wheels that made a wider track. Seems like it'd be a really good commuter plus being able to get off the beaten path and onto some better-maintained forest roads. Obviously, you're not gonna be rock climbing in it.

Definitely a Subaru competitor.
 
I think it looks great. From some angles it looks like a BMW X series.
I like trim around the wheels that will prevent any damage from debris.

Because politicians passed a law requiring all cars to have a rear view camera as standard.
