2011 Subaru Forester Review - Toronto Sun Choosing from the company's well-stocked line-up of all-wheel drive vehicles, the 2011 Subaru Forester is probably the one for which I would go.

2011 Subaru Forester Review - National Post, Toronto For 2011, the Subaru Forester, which was introduced in 2009, earns a minor makeover aimed at keeping it contemporary.
