Honda CRV or Subaru Forrester

I've been a very happy owner of a 2008 Outback. The new Forester is getting rave reviews, but both the Honda and the Subaru Forester and Outback models are very good vehicles. Assuming the manual transmission models can be towed, it really ends up being a matter of which vehicle you prefer as everyone has their own priorities and preferences when it comes to a vehicle.
