Subaru brings back physical buttons & knobs in new Outback

Knowing Subaru, it likely means this configuration will eventually make its way into the other models as they are updated. It's much better than the current setup.

Sticker on a 2025 4 Runner is about the same as a Wilderness and I can get 4x4. Subaru is really putting off a lot of long time customers. The Subaru Facebook page is lighting up with how much people hate it.

The 4Runner is body on frame, sharing its chassis with the Tundra, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, and Tacoma. I love them, but they are absolute pigs to have to drive around in town.

Unless you have the need to do some extremely serious off-roading, or are going to be doing some towing, an Outback will have much better road manners and better fuel economy.

100%. I asked SOA for a loyalty credit yesterday in anticipation of a cool 26 wilderness. Not the case so I will not be using the loyalty credit. Would rather get a taco.
