I posted that photo in the 'Ascent or wait for new Outback' thread. I think it looks great, and by great I mean competetive with the industry. I thought Subaru would be sticking with the 8" head unit for a while longer so this is a surprise. I also thought that the new Outback would just get the same interior treatment as the rest of the lineup, but it makes total sense to introduce a new interior design with the new Legacy/Outback. That feature alone could help keep the Outback as viable as possible as the Ascent and Forester age. Then the cycle starts again...
Before anybody calls it an iPad, please don't. At least this design has physical temp and volume controls.
