Like everySubaru sold in the last few years, the Forester 2.5XS L.L. Bean model hasall-wheel-drive, which is an excellent idea in most parts of Canada.

Subaru is a goodcar company and the Forester is a stout little SUV, so considering any versionof one makes a great deal of sense if you're shopping in that segment.

The bottom lineon the L.L. Bean Edition is that, if you look at the PR photo of the vehiclewhich shows a handsome couple walking away from a Forester and a canoe toward amisty river and some mountains and long to be them, this vehicle could be foryou.

If it sounds like I'm not very enthusiastic about theL.L. Bean Edition, it's mostly because this kind of brand allegiance is unknownto me. Having said that, I could imagine buying something as unpalatable as aCamry if Toyota brought out a Groucho Marx Edition.
