    New Fozza XT gets 169kw

    Subaru Oz has confirmed the MY06 Forester XT will have a power upgrade to 169kw. :D

    As if it wasn't quick enough for a family wagon!. Now if only it could handle..

        the handling thing was a bit of a dumbass joke, but sadly it looks like they may have even jacked the new XT up by half an inch or so.

        the '06 has also just been released in the US

        some extra goodies there (heated seats, 7 speaker sound system). also read somewhere that xenons were on the '06 too but can't find it anywhere. perhaps an option.

          They are already under quoted on power in the MY04/5 models. 155kws DIN or ~125kws atw on STI Docklands dyno. Same dyno a stock 04/5 STI makes ~138kws atw and is rated at 195kw din.

          I make more than the STI now and weigh the same :D

            Yep.. but the power increase from the Forester isn't just Subaru adjusting the spec to its true levels, they have actually made mechanical changes. They have removed a cat and done some fiddling with the AVCS and increased compression to 8.4:1

            So it should be even faster again methinks! I should probably ditch the rex before ass drops out of resale

            I'm jealous.. paid $40k for a rex with no goodies and it looks like now for $42k you can get a beastie with real torque, leather, sunroof, a real sound system (the WRX sound system is atrocious) and side airbags. definitely catering to different markets.. but..... i still feel ripped off

              Might not be the same changes for Aus specs ones tho Adam. Would be great tho if that was the case.

                Did you get the invite to the launch? That's where it said 169kw for the new one.

                        Meh ... at least people who see you in your WRX won't immediately assume you're female with two kids. :D
                        Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

                          this pic.. stolen from another forum.. pretty much sums up what i'd like to have one looking like:



                          this one's nice too (probably a better location for the FMIC):

                            Horny looking wagons......my Ovlov wagon would chop them though.

                            And why is the passenger in the first pic trying to put his arm around his mate driving???? Swedes in love?

                              Looks pretty gammon with the intercooler hanging out like that. I think a black one with a subtle drop in ride height and the current STi wheels would look the goods.
