Merc Freeside - er Forester?

Post by subanator » Fri Jan 25, 2008 11:45 pm

Gee even Mercedes are having a go at getting in at leveling at the Forester with this Freeside, specs are pretty smart as you would expect. Maybe Muddy might even be interested?

What ya think?

hmmm, The forrie still looks more at home off road then I could imagine this one would be... Could be the large rims with l/p tyres doing that though?

Again.. Another car which is suppose to look like a 4WD but be good on road.
I can just imagine the rich soccer mums driving around in this thinking they can do anything.
