Since there's not that much to talk about in the news, I thought I'd throw out some pictures I thought were especially appealing. These are stock images so nothing new, just nice to see the car instead of recall notices.

Coming from a military and Jeep background, I always thought one of the best indicators of a vehicle's styling was how nice it looks when it is dirty -- and I mean dirty like just getting back from plowing through a rough trail off road. So here's some photos I thought were particularly appealing.

And this one just because it looks cool

Ooops, snuck in an extra one of a "regular" Subaru (and yes, I'm driving it)

Welcome to the forum @ClutchAv! That title would bring in a lot of clicks hahaha. How are you looking to spec your Solterra?

Nothing like a dirty Subi, is the Solterra going to be your first from the brand ?
I hope to see your dirty pics here

How did you like the dirtfish course?

How did you like the dirtfish course?

There’s all sorts of variations on how they’ll take your money, I did the $800 for 9 laps deal (a couple times, because I just had to go back). It’s a ton of fun and I wish I had enough money to blow on the full 3 day course.

Forgot to mention, for anyone considering going around the track you should definitely wait until Black Friday.

Can you take your wheel covers off someday and take some pictures with just the black wheels? That blue was the color I wanted, with brown seats (like my current Outback 3.6 Touring), but they’re not offering them in the US.

Reminds me of the first ads here for the XV - orange xv going through the forest

Perhaps this is an appropriate spot to discuss wash methods and cleaning supplies?

Galactic Black is going to be a nuisance to keep clean. My plan right now is to get a ceramic coating and then use the optimum no rinse wash. My first time using this no rinse wash so I guess I’ll see how it goes. Open to any tips or advice.

Yes, I would go with that. Have done the last 2 Outbacks (Autumn Green) and the last XV (Yellow). So easy to keep clean, although I alternate between the no rinse and the wash 'n shine from the ceramic manufacturer.
