V40 Manual Trans???? S40-V40

Rest Of World gets 'em, also a HP T4 version. Probably US EPA regs prevented their import. They are now selling SV40s at extremely deep discounts in the US. Since the design is now obsolete I don't think they're likely to import a manual now. The remaining stock seems to be going out the door at VERY good prices, almost unbelievable prices!

There is a 210hp Forester XT (2.5 turbo) version to be introduced in the summer. It will be available with a 5-speed. The English magazine "Car" just tested their 2.0 turbo version, and rated it tops in a comparison test of 4 small wagons. Seems the H4 allows a relatively high vehicle without raising the center of gravity too much.
