Hi all,

Didn't see a post on this, but I received an email here in Oz the other day for the release of the Forester and XV Hybrid for release early next year.

I drove the Forester hybrid a few months back and tbh it’s so “light” a hybrid as to not make as difference apart from adding complexity.

IIRC it’s the 20bhp gearbox hybrid solution and even the gentlest touch on the throttle and the engine starts. Probably a waste of time but no additional cost over the non-hybrid IIRC.

Car drove surprisingly well, though.
