One thing no one has mentioned is that the 2010 Outbacks with 4 cyls
are now matted to a CVT. It is unclear how reliable this new tranny is
since it doesn't have an established track record. The Subaru turbo
diesel sold in Europe has a traditional geared tranny presumably
because CVTs are not as capable of handling torque.  The Outback CVT
comes with a "gear shifting" mechanism that might help with towing
since the CVT is optimized for gas mileage.

James,

Yes, I mentioned the CVT in an earlier post.
