Subaru has recently received accolades for the quality of its products. Following the 2009 Subaru Forester's win as Motor Trend Sport-Utility Vehicle ("SUV") of the year, the 2010 Subaru Outback debuted to again win the award for the 2011 model year.

The 2011 Subaru Outback Limited 3.6R AWD model offers a 3.6L, 256hp, H6 engine, as opposed to 2009's 3L, 245hp, H6 engine. The Torque is now 247 @ 4400 RPM, as opposed to last year's 215 @ 4200. While still consisting of 4 valves, the new Outback has a 3630 displacement, up from the 2999 offered in the 2009 model. The 2010 offers a 3.6 x 3.6 inch bore/stroke, with the 2009 offering only 3.5 x 3.1. The compression ratio is down to 10.5:1, as opposed to the 2009 model's 10.7:1. The changes have resulted in a little better gas mileage, with the 2010 Subaru Outback getting an estimated 18mpg city and 25 highway, as opposed to the 2009's 17 and 24 respectively.
