2006 Subaru Forester 2.5X (Video Clip)
The Forester first poked its head out of Fuji Heavy Industries in 1998. This was one year after the arrival of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Although the Suzuki Sidekick / Chevrolet Tracker had already been around for quite a while, the birth of these compact SUVs spawned the creation of a new segment. This category of vehicles quickly became a favourite of those looking for an alternative to station wagons, minivans and larger SUVs. Over the next few years, other car makers landed in the war zone with heavy hitters like the Mazda Tribute, Ford Escape and most recently, the Nissan X-Trail.
