	The '''[[Subaru]] Forester''', released in the US in 1998, is a lightweight, small [[crossover SUV]] (or arguably a [[station wagon]]) based on the [[Subaru Impreza]]. Subaru advertising employed the slogan "SUV tough, Car Easy" to appeal to the SUV-oriented market; and to this end, the Forester has features associated with SUVs such as a large, boxy cargo area and more ground clearance than other Subaru models (although it employs a car-like unibody chassis, rather than the body-on-frame construction associated with trucks and larger SUVs).
