It's bleedin' enormous. It gets bigger with every redesign. The new one dwarfs an Impala. We're programmed to think of Asian cars as "compact," but the Outback is a parade float. How it got its greenie / tree-hugger cachet is beyond me, because it gets about 18 MPG. And I'm afraid I don't like the Outback for other reasons; the interiors seem crude to me and the ride / handling harsh.
