The pretty impressive price cuts give a clue as to what market they are aiming for...Bread and butter

I think the 2010 Legacy looks like ass, and there is no way in hell I will be getting one, but I might just have a base 3.6R in my future for the wife since it clocks in at a paltry $27,995

CHERRY HILL, N.J., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing for the all-new 2010 Subaru Outback®. The fourth-generation of the World's First Sport Utility Wagon® is a roomier and more capable interpretation of the vehicle that launched the crossover trend 15 years ago. Distinguished by bolder and crisper styling, the all-new 2010 Subaru Outback delivers enhanced performance, comfort and economy with the introduction of an all-new chassis and the new Subaru Lineartronic™ CVT (continuously variable transmission).

Capability is enhanced with a segment-first roof rail and integrated crossbar design, 18.5 gallon fuel tank and an improved 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Interior volume increases 7 percent compared to the previous generation yet the overall length is almost one-inch shorter than the '09 model. Rear legroom increases almost 4 inches and total cargo capacity is now an impressive 71.3 cubic feet -- an increase of 6 cubic feet. Despite the larger size, fuel economy is estimated to increase by 1 MPG in both City and Highway modes with CVT.

 

As with all Subaru vehicles, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard, which helps driving performance by enhancing traction regardless of weather conditions.

 

Model Pricing Highlights:

The 2.5i is powered by a revised 170-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine and is available with either a new standard 6-speed manual transmission for $22,995 (the same price as the outgoing model) or the Lineartronic™ CVT for $23,995.

4000$ down from the 09 3.0R... but what they left out was "Limited." And the base '10 3.6 Outback is probably closer to base trim than that, and probably seriously less equipped, until you option it back up.

 

They are just pushing the H6 car down-market, like the Legacy.

That is a good thing. The V6 is currently way overpriced to compete with other V6 offerings in both the Legacy and the Outback.

It's only good if you like what they've done with the car.

 

The 4000$ figure is a red herring. 4000 more than 28k, is 32K. the 09 H6 models for 32K was not a stripped down car, it had many standard features, including bilsteins on the H6 Legacy at that price point. Some argue that it could have had more for 32K, but it was not a base-line trim.

 

I am guessing that the 28K H6 they are talking about there, has lost many of the de-contented features that we also talk about the Legacy GT losing.

 

They are selling less options on a bigger, uglier car, for a bit less money.

 

At this point, I would rather buy a 2-4K 100,000 mile+ SVX, and maintain it with scarce parts, than outlay $25-30k any new Subaru. Maybe an old Forester or Baja 5-speed for the winter, and utility use.

I like the fact that you can get a 2.5 Prem in a stick with a roof. To get a roof in the prev gen, you had to go to the Limited. 25,000 (or so) buys the car just the way I would order it, Prem, 6 sp and CWP. Roughly a inv. of 23,500 then a rebate of 1,000 (or so by the time I am ready), it will get a very close look next year when my 09 Forester comes off lease.
