The fact that the Forester will drive the rear axle through the conventional drive shaft and differential is going to result in lower milage than other AWD hybrids that use a 2nd electric motor for the rear axle and will result in a loss of sales.

After purchasing seven new Subarus since 1977, in 2023 I gave up waiting for Subaru to build a decent hybrid, sold my 2012 Outback and purchased a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime. Over 45 miles of pure electric drive and over 45 MPG in hybrid mode, plus a great AWD system. This could have been money in Subaru's pocket instead of Toyota's.
