+1 I'm trying to buy a new 2019, and they are selling out like hotcakes.  People are putting deposits down for the 2019 for the last few coming in.  2020 doesn't come in till October.[/quote]

2020’s are already on the lot.

We just bought the last 2019 Outback at Fitzgerald in Rockville this past weekend. Fully loaded Limited trim line for $30K. That was $7500 below MSRP and $8500 below the selling price of a similar 2020 model. We got a helluva deal.

We test drove the 2019 RAV4 hybrid, 2019 BWM X1, 2019 Subaru Outback Limited w/ standard 4 cylinder engine, and 2020 Outback with the turbocharged 4 cylinder (a new engine option for 2020 and beyond models).

We had every intention of buying a new RAV4 Hybrid, which was fully redesigned for 2019. Frankly, the interior feels so cheap compared to BMW and Subaru. It was going to be $34K for the RAV4 we wanted and it had no where near the bells and whistles of the Subaru. Decent engine for a hybrid, but it didn’t wow us. BMW X1 engine is like a sports car, but the seats were uncomfortable and their Apple CarPlay system was painfully difficult to use (and requires an annual subscriptfee).

I actually prefer the 2019 Outback over the 2020 redesigned Outback. The new 2020 replaces most of the in-dash buttons and knobs with a gigantic touchscreen interface (similar to a Tesla). I simply prefer the knobs and buttons, along with the normal 10” touchscreen. If we wanted the 2020 Subaru with the turbocharged engine, we were looking at closer to $39K. I didn’t see the value proposition in the spending so much more for a 2020 model when I could have a 2019 model with pretty much all the same exact features for $30K.

It was a no-brainer.[/quote]
I was at Fitzgerald Subaru over the weekend. They said Forestor 2020 wasn't coming in till October.

But ITA on the Rav4 Hybrid. I was set to get that too till I test drove both the Forestor and Rav4. I'm going with the Forestor.  [/quote]
