It would be easier to answer the question, what didn’t the New England Motor Press Association like about the new 2015 SUV-alternative Outback. It has won the NEMPA’ “Winter Car of the Year” award so many times, they had to create another category to give other cars a chance at a trophy. Now it picks up another award beating out all other sedans and wagons under $30,000.

The New England Motor Press Association sure is impressed with the new Outback wagon. Refined, roomy and economical is how New England journalist Collin Davis describes the new fifth generation Outback. The SUV-alternative’s all-weather traction is a big draw in the New England area where the roads can get icy and slick in the winter. It also gets high marks for its available advanced safety features which include EyeSight.
