John,

I had owned seven Subarus but moved to the Toyota RVA4 Prime because of Subaru's failure to produce an Outback or Forester hybrid. (The Solteria was just too weird inside.)

I've read that the upcoming Forester hybrid will retain the drive shaft connecting the front and rear wheels. If so, that is a terrible decision in my opinion. My RAV4 uses a separate electric motor for the rear wheels, removing all the friction loss associated with a mechanical linkage between front and rear wheels. Until we get one motor per wheel, one motor per axle is the way to go.
