Looks just like the Forester
EDIT I’m wrong - left another comment below with a different angle. Whoopsies.
Reflecting back on the spy photos, could we have all been wildly wrong about the supposed new outback? Comparing these side by side looks pretty damn close
@Zander
I really want to be wrong about that honestly
@Zander
Absolutely not. Not even close
What!! What do you mean “not close”??
Look at the rear window panel behind the back seat window. It’s a big enough difference to rule that out right off the bat
@Cam
Don’t even have to look that far: look at the rear door windows themselves. The new Outback will retain the fixed quarter window so that the main window can roll down farther, while the Forester is using a full-length window that only goes down 3/4 of the way.

I mean they’re not close. Not a single body panel matches, and the proportions of almost every part of the car are all different
@Vic
Well when it’s released I would pay attention to the “Oh I thought that was a Forester” comments
@Vic
Js I’m not saying they look the same, I’m just saying they resemble each other

Ok, but the person who posted this was saying they were the same car. They are not

Hell No 
How does Subaru keep managing to make their cars more and more hideous? Meanwhile Honda and Toyota are here out of left field making cool looking things?
Hope not
5 seconds of looking tells us no. Just look at the proportions, stance, and the rear window shape. There’s no kick-up on the Forester, or fixed quarter window
Outback on the left, Forester on the right
2 row ascent, ugly looking
So the new wrx is the size of an old legacy, the new outback is the size of an old forester and a new forester is the size of an ascent?!

The Outback is larger than a Forester
