The USA TODAY have published a review of the 2010 Subaru Outback. 'The flat-six, 3.6-liter engine is rated 256 horsepower, up 11 hp from the '09's 3-liter. More important for most American driving, the 247 pounds-feet of torque is a gain of 32 lbs.-ft., or 15%. Translated: enough low-speed power (torque) to suit U.S. slug-along driving and enough high-speed power (horsepower) for safe merging and passing, as well as fun. It's linked to a five-speed automatic at a time six-speeds are common but no big deal. The transmission shifted very well, never leaving you pining for a six-speed.'
