\nEven in the face of a bleak economy and dreadful auto sales, Subaru<\/a> managed to have a breakout year in 2009. Products like the Forester<\/a> and the Impreza<\/a> helped Subaru achieve consistent year-over-year gains while the Japanese automaker continues to post stellar quality ratings through J.D. Power and Consumer Reports<\/em>. And the accolades don’t stop there. The new-for-2009 Forester was crowned the 2008 Motor Trend<\/em> SUV of the year<\/a>, and this year Subaru accomplished a surprise repeat taking the award for the second straight year with the 2010 Outback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the new Outback isn’t the capable, milquetoast lifted station wagon we’ve come to know and respect over the years. It’s now bigger. Quite a bit bigger, performing a similar wagon-to-crossover transformation that the Forester pulled off a year earlier. Granted, the Outback is only two inches taller and wider, and a mere three inches longer between the wheels, but the result is a wagon that looks much larger than the model it replaces. We’ve come to expect that kind of growth in a world of constant size and weight one-upping, but we had to wonder – has increased functionality come at the expense of entertainment once again? We snagged a six-cylinder Outback to find out.<\/p>\n
