The good news, at least if you are in the market for a new Subaru Legacy or Outback, is that you won't have to pay much more next year for the car of your dreams.

Subaru has just announced 2011 pricing for their top selling models and both models are not going to get much more expensive, but they both will get some nice new features and XM radio service. They will also get manual-folding exterior mirrors, which was one of our gripes with the cars.

Nothing more frustrating than trying to squeeze by a car in a tight garage when the mirrors won't fold, was our conclusion after spending a week with both cars. Thit always struck us as a silly way to cut costs.

A new color, Caramel Bronze Pearl, replaces Harvest Gold Metallic on
both models and is paired with an Ivory interior. Ruby Red Pearl,
previously only available on the Legacy and Tribeca, is now available on
the Outback and comes also with an Ivory interior.

As with all Subaru vehicles, Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive is standard
on both models, which helps driving performance by enhancing traction
regardless of weather conditions.
