I too, have a 2014 Forester
I too, have a 2014 Forester XT and believe the new global platform will be incorporated in the 2018 model year. I hope that Subaru separates the XT model with more premium parts, increased horsepower, better technology, etc. I love that the 2027 XT offers optional brown leather seating! Subaru, I hope you read this as I'm really loving the 2015 Viziv concept vehicle as the platform for the new 2018 Forester!
