Subaru Forester SUV of the year
According to Motor Trend magazine, the 2009 Subaru Forester has been picked as the best SUV of the year. There were 13 finalists that were mostly crossover vehicles, with only three traditional “body-on-frame truck-based SUVS.” The Forester won the contest because of its value, roominess, versatile powertrains and fuel efficiency. Last year’s winner was the 2008 Mazda CX-9.
