1999 Subaru Forester

Following a General Motors and Subaru tie up in 1999, GM considered rebadging the Forester as a Holden in the Australian market, as the brand lacked an SUV offering. In 1999 models the engine changed to a 2.5 liter SOHC naturally aspirated unit, with no turbocharged engines sold in the United States at the time. The Forester was first introduced as the Streega concept at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. In its home market the Forester replaced the Impreza Gravel Express, sold in the United States as the Outback Sport.
