To buy a 2010 or not?
I'm currently the happy owner of a 2009 outback Special Edition Auto. I love the car, but this past week received a flyer from my dealer, due to model year end, and a special trade allowance they have, I can do really well getting into a 2010. I'm loosing 2k in depreciation for a 2 year old car, but I will need to pay the upcharge for the new model, and a few added accessories(sunroof yeah!) They offered the 2010 at $100 under invoice too!
I have a few reservations.... mostly tied to the CVT. I tow a snowmobile and ATV short distances, and have concerns on the CVT itself, not to mention the added concerns of towing on a unproven transmission.
Looking for insight from others.... Oh, and I'm not interested in buying a manual trans. Thanks in advance.

The tow rating matches previous Outbacks.
The only thing I don't like is the non-folding outside mirrors. Apparently enough people complained because the soon-to-be-released 2011 models will have folding mirrors once again.

If so, it could be a worthwhile upgrade.
The CVT is very fuel efficient, so that will actually help offset part of the cost of the upgrade. 29mpg highway.
