While Subaru made news with the introduction of a new sport utility vehicle,the B9 Tribeca,its compact Forester crossover SUV,which has been in the market for several years,got the spruce-up treatment.

Subaru's turbocharged engine,in the 2.5 XT model,now is rated at 230 horsepower (up 20). The Forester lineup now consists of four versions: 2.5 X,2.5 X with Premium Package (which replaces last year's highline XS),L.L. Bean,and turbocharged 2.5 XT.
