Yea!!! Subaru of America just announced their pricing for the new 2018 Crosstreks - with all their upgrades - and the new prices are only about $100 above last years models. Thank you Subaru!!!

Now, when exactly are you going to ship those beauties out here to Heuberger Subaru??? I've got money burning a hole in my pocket, if you know what I mean.

Pricing is very reasonable especially considering the significant increase in features.

I'm curious what differentiates the Stablex suspension dampers compared to the old KYB suspension dampers. I've found no information regarding the manufacturer.

I found this explanation of the Stablex design and how it improves the ride of the 2016 Legacy Limited. So, I guess this suspension system has been around a while. But, like you, I haven't figured out who makes it.

"The Legacy’s refined MacPherson front strut suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension ensure an excellent balance of handling agility and ride comfort. The Limited trims exclusively feature Stablex suspension, which employs larger front struts along with front and rear damping tuned for improved low-speed handling performance and enhanced ride comfort at higher speeds. An aluminum hood reduces weight over the front wheels, which helps enhance steering response. The Legacy 2.5i is equipped with standard 17-inch wheels, and the Limited trims feature 18-inch alloy wheels."

I'll keep looking! You piqued my curiosity on this one!

Wow a bit surprised about that!

I've heard from two different dealerships that the 2018 Crosstrek will come in these nine colors here in the States ... Crystal White Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic, Dark Gray Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Dark Blue Pearl, Quartz Blue Pearl, Venetian Red, Sunshine Orange, and Cool Gray Khaki. Can't wait to see them up close and personal in the dealer's lot.

Not the tan Khaki

That MIGHT change my mind on getting an 18 :/

No hyper blue... SOA just made an enemy.
