VDC is standard on all models.
VDC stability traction control system
measures variables such as steering input, braking and vehicle angle, and
applies individual brakes and/or reduces engine power to counteract skids
or slides to help keep you in control.
VDC includes on 4cylinder, 4 speed automatics
a traction control system which senses a loss of of traction and applies
the brakes to the slipping wheels to maintain vehicle motion (this is not
the VTD system on the XT or LL Bean).
VTD with VDC on 5speed automatic tranmissions
(XT turbo, 3.0R 6 cylinder models). VTD Variable Torque Distribution traction
control system has 45/55 performance oriented, front/rear power split with
Limited Slip rear axle.
The Outback is classed as a light truck
for CAFE fuel economy reasons. 'Cafe' stands Corporate Average Fuel
Economy. This doesn't affect safety, economy or mean the car will tip over
or be unsafe like a SUV. Many other vehicles are classed this way including
Honda CRV, Dodge minivan, Toyota Rav4, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Honda Odyssey,
Honda Element, Cadillac ESV, Chrysler Pacifica etc etc. Here is the official
statement from Subaru.

| Fuel Economy
statement |
New
for 2008 Model Revised EPA Fuel economy testing methods will
result in lower but more realistic ratings for all manufacturers. New lower
estimates (starting with 2008 models) more accurately reflect our current
stop-and-go traffic and commute driving patterns, faster speeds
and acceleration, air conditioner use, and colder outside temperatures.
MPG estimates will also be adjusted downward to account for factors that
are difficult to replicate in a laboratory, such as wind and road surface
resistance. New fuel economy estimates will
be lower for most vehicles. This is not because auto makers have designed
the same vehicles to be less fuel efficient—it is because our new test
methods take into account factors that have been missing or not fully accounted
for in the current (2007 model) tests. Because some vehicles are
more sensitive to these factors than others, the impact of the proposed
changes will vary from vehicle to vehicle. The city MPG estimates for conventional
(non-hybrid) vehicles would drop on average by about 10-20 percent from
(2007 model) labels, while the highway estimates would drop by about 5-15
percent, depending on the vehicle. Hybrid vehicles, city MPG estimates
would drop 20-30 percent from (2007 model) labels. highway MPG estimates,
the change is about the same as for conventional vehicles. More
