2014 Outback specs and options now out

No power liftgate option, darn. :-( Why is this available on the Forester but not on the more expensive Outback?

Does anyone know what the "Tungsten Metallic" color might be? I can't find it on any other Subaru models on the Subaru website. If it's some sort of gunmetal gray, I might be interested in it. Chevrolet has a color by that name:

but that looks a lot like Subaru's existing Graphite Gray, which is being replaced by something called Carbide Gray Metallic. Personally, I still want a hunter green, but I'm not convinced that Cypress Green Pearl is it.

Patty, go to sears and look at the bits in the tools department -> it's the stuff drill bits are made of. I don't expect the fhi version to differ significantly. in color that is.

just take it out for a rally weekend, thoroughly trash by gavel and repaint it to the exact shade of gray that you want afterwards. The body shops around you would thrive.

An alternative would be to leave the paint damage as is afterwards to put the dorks who put bullet hole decals on their rides to shame

"it's a subaru: it does not have to look pretty!"

Is there something different about the drill bits at Sears? Can I just look at the ones in my toolbox instead?

Okay. Still, I'd prefer to see it in person.

Green, actually, but hah, an expensive solution!

Tungsten is usually a dark grey.

Maybe the carbide grey is a bit darker than the tungsten, or vice-versa. I remember it was a lot simpler in the days of my 2000 OBW, there were only about 4 colors to choose from and they all looked black at night. ;)

Of course, she's a girl ... all girls want everything in pink ... hence the recent Mother's Day sales with pink mobile phones, pink toolkits (with pink screwdrivers, pink measuring tape, pink spanners / wrenches, pink hammer, etc.), pink wheelbarrows, pink rubber mud boots, ...

There's pink Subaru Outback car mats (non-curling):

Unfortauntely the pink Subaru decal is no longer available:

;-)

There's also pink tyre valve caps, but here in New Zealand they're sold to support the Breast Cancer Foundation charity organisation.

To be fair: not all women are dumb&dull barbies. Though most of them are.

I think sti came with some pink logos. So that was not a rhethorical question.

blondes don't understand the tradeoff: "feed the baby with your breasts, that's the EASY way to drastically reduce any chance of breast cancer" kind of things?

I always rolled my eyes when I was asked at the grocery store in the states if I wanted to donate anything to the breast cancer research.

I did my research. It says: use it or lose it fully applies here. No money for that cause. Not from me anyway. Feminists could suck my dick for all I care.

I'm not the one making and marketing all this pink stuff. :-)

Obviously your "research" wasn't very good since that's an extremely simplistic and plain wrong conclusion, bordering on the idiotic, but this isn't the place to go into it.

The point was that, rightly or wrongly, there is LOTS of pink merchandise made and mainly targetted at women buyers.

o pink tyre valve caps, but here in New Zealand they're

Given that we are way way past the equal suffrage the femme choices affects what you and I ride, hence I have difficulty seeing how a misogynistic rant every now and then is off topic.

For all I care women past the reproductive age (25 y.o max) are due for garbage collection and cancers (breast or otherwise) are a great vehicle nature built for that (now that milk industry is busy taking as much fat out of circulation as they could).

Nature is by far more humaine than the cancer research specialists (yourself?)

... and patty is stashing sti decals under her pillow
