subject to change, correction, updates

Updates and News
the 2009 model is the final year for the current version Outback. The 2010 Outback will be completely redesigned. 

3/8 2010 Outback All new and redesigned 2010 Outback due Summer 2009. First showing will be at the NY Int't Auto Show in April. Expected to be slightly larger. 

3/17/09 Alarm security upgrade price drops, iPod price increases

12/9/08  iPod-iPhone interface, control and play your iPod and iPhone through the factory stereo. Also recharges it except for 4th generation Nano and 2ndGen iPhone. Works on all Legacy and Outback 2007-2008-2009 without Satellite radio. Available factory or dealer installed.
SPT turbo heat shield fits  2005 through 2009 Legacy GT and Outback XT turbos. Helps keeps the turbo warmer, retain heat for faster response.

11/18/08  Harmon Kardan stereo speed sensing control - the new for 09 HK stereo in the Outback and Legacy SE, Limited, XT, and 3.0R models has a subtle automatic Speed Sensitive Automatic Volume Control (SSVC). This proprietary HK technology is more focused on low voice frequency and down as opposed to high frequency speed related noise like tire whine. The volume changes may be very subtle. There are no adjustments or settings that the user can control or set.

September 16, 2008- Destination price increase. Destination on cars arriving at dealers in late September 2008 will be $695 (up $30, from $665). Alaska will be $845. Cars at dealers before the increase will be $30 less than prices here, with a $665 destination.

July 2008, Brochure and Website errors - The 2009 Outback brochure incorrectly indicates the 2.5i SE has a CD changer, the correct stereo is a single disc CD. 
 Incline Assist - The website may indicate the 09 Outback has 'incline assist' (previously called hill holder). That's incorrect, the 09 Outback doesn't have incline assist.

Cars expected mid June

What is PZEV, a brief, simple summary
The EPA says a PZEV is the cleanest running gas car on today's market based on emissions testing for carbon-containing compounds, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and other tailpipe nastiness. It is required in CA, CT, NJ, NY, MA, ME, RI, VT, PA, OR, and WA
1. A charcoal cannister catches unburned gas left in the engine when it's turned off so it doesn't just evaporate. 
2. Fuel injectors that close tighter when they're not in use.
3. A finer mesh in the catalytic converter, as well as optimized placement of its precious metal.
4.  The engine's electronic brain is tuned to run the hot at start up to help the catalytic converter heat up so it can start doing its job faster.


PZEV section of the Monroney window sticker required in CA, CT, NJ, NY, MA, ME, RI, VT, PA, OR, WA 

VDC is now standard on all models
VDC vehicle dynamics control, is a stability and traction skid control system that measures and monitors variables such as steering wheel input, braking, and vehicle angle, and then applies individual brakes and/or reduces engine power to counteract skids or slides to help keep maintain driver control.
TCS Traction Control System. TCS senses a loss of of traction and applies the brakes to the slipping wheel(s) to maintain vehicle motion.
VTD Variable Torque Distribution on XT turbo and 3.0R 6 cylinder 5speed automatic transmissions only. VTD 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 by Subaru 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. 
Because is it considered a truck, prvacy tinted glass is legal in states that only allow it on trucks (some states allow dark tint on all vehicles).

Fuel Economy statement Starting with 2008 models, EPA fuel economy estimates 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 to account for factors that are difficult to replicate in a laboratory, such as wind and road surface resistance.More from the EPA
