Beware the beaten path. It is the path of
followers, not leaders. Of tourists, not
explorers. It is the road traveled by those
more trusting of convention than invention.
And it is not the path of Subaru. Because
for over three decades we have blazed
our own trail, building the kind of cars
people depend on every day. Capable
A BALANCE OF COMFORT, UTILITY AND CAPABILITY.
cars. Rational cars. Intelligent cars.
We introduced America to the beauty of
All-Wheel Drive. We proved ourselves on
rally courses around the world, but our
journey never truly ends, it merely evolves.
As do we, with cars that offer more than
mere capability. Much more. They are
stylish. Powerful. Exhilarating. They
ignite passion. In this way, we constantly
push the boundaries. Continually
redefining what a Subaru can be.
The truest measure of an SUV isn't size.
It's substance. A point of view exemplified
by the intelligently proportioned 2005
Subaru Forester. As capable on the
highway as they are in the high
desert, all Forester models indulge
occupants with a wealth of thoughtful
conveniences. They provide a sense of
security, with a rugged exterior and an
abundance of active and passive safety
features. Most importantly, they inspire
true driving confidence, thanks to
a powerful Subaru Boxer engine
with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for
self-assured handling in virtually every
environment. All of which result in a driving
experience that can be defined by that most
substantive quality of all: Peace of mind.
AND CONFIDENCE.
