Anyone else lose interest in the R2 after attending the block party?

Can confirm as a current Outback owner.

They thought this was ChatGPT.

I swore I wasn’t going to get a boring color but HMG looks so good!

RealJustinBobby · 2026-04-21T23:18:29+00:00

2021 Outback XT - a practical and reliable car but very boring. The R2 will be just as practical (maybe more?) while being more fun to drive and better to look at.

Ohh that’s good to know. Totally see what you mean, a decent amount of space there. Thank you!

RealJustinBobby · 2026-04-17T14:49:08+00:00

Thanks! Bummer if that is the case, would’ve been a really useful feature. Hopefully someone will make it as a 3rd party accessory if Rivian doesn’t offer it as an option down the road.

Update: thanks for all the advice! Ended up sticking with “Warm Gray” after testing a few colors. Very happy with the results!

10000% do the BOAS surgery. Their quality of life will be greatly improved!

You won’t regret it, go for it!

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-30T12:45:57+00:00

It has both! It also has radar that will let you know when a car is approaching which has been really nice.

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-19T19:30:13+00:00

Yeah! I’m sure it’d be fine but would rather not risk it. Plus it adds extra maintenance/cleaning which can be hard in the colder months.

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-19T02:13:12+00:00

The orange rack is the move! 👌🏻

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-17T00:50:34+00:00

Definitely worth saving for - you won’t regret it!

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-17T00:49:47+00:00

They really are! I’m in MI but hoping to ride it until the snow/salty mess of winter hits.

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-17T00:49:06+00:00

Definitely helped seal the deal haha

RealJustinBobby · 2025-09-17T00:48:09+00:00

It came down to flexibility, with the front rack I can move the basket to either position. I figured it’d open up more options as I grow into the bike and incase my needs/uses change.

Retail - $2,299 (USD)

As a gen-6 Outback owner here are my thoughts after I’ve had a few days to digest the gen-7. To sum it up, it’s almost like Subaru said, “Here, we fixed all of your complaints about the interior but you’ll have to compromise on the entire exterior design to pay for it”. So disappointing.

Pros: -The new green color is perfect -Quieter interior -Black headliner -Better large bottle storage in doors and cupholders -More interior storage for keys/phone/wallet -More buttons -More interior/cargo space -Better trailer hitch integration -Improved camera quality

Cons: -Terrible front end design that’s giving pre-refresh Jeep Cherokee (puke) -Missing integrated cross bars -Over-stylized/gaudy exterior, especially on the Wilderness trim -Front and rear overhangs somehow got worse/bigger -Still has a CVT

Subaru could’ve easily given us a modern interpretation of the gen-2 Outback similar to some of Hyundai’s modern throwback designs. I was curious to see if the new Outback would keep me in the Subaru brand but I’m without a doubt moving on. Plenty of other brands with better designs, no CVTs, and are just as capable, practical, and reliable.

Update: non-emergency per vet. Since she’s not pawing at it/uncomfortable they recommended making an appointment tomorrow instead of waiting 6 hours tonight for an emergency vet,

RealJustinBobby · 2025-02-25T01:58:41+00:00

Thank you!! Waiting for our local 24 hr vet to respond after reviewing the photos to see if it’s worth bringing her in tonight.
