2011 Subaru Forester S Edition in Automotive

An exciting Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Subaru Forester concept with some strong clues pointing to a new variant next year has been unveiled at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. The Subaru Forester S-Edition concept, making its worldwide debut in Sydney, builds on the turbocharged following of the existing Forester XT.

Subaru Forester S-Edition’s turbocharged 2.5 liter 193 Kilowatt engine is 24 kW more powerful than the XT and produces 347 Newtonmetres of torque, up 27 Nm.

Other significant additions include:

- Paddleshift five-speed automatic gearbox

- Revised sports suspension

Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) All-Wheel Drive

- Exclusive styling accents

- STI 17-inch high lustre alloy wheels

- Alcantara seat trim with S-Edition logos

- Drilled alloy pedals

- Luminescent instruments with centre design unique to the model

- Subaru Forester S-Edition badging

    Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “We’re delighted and honoured that Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) have chosen Sydney for the worldwide unveil of this Forester concept.

“It points towards an exciting development in our Forester range early next year.

“Forester is firmly established as Australia’s best selling compact sports utility vehicle, with the most recent addition to the range being the diesel variants that are proving a sales winner for our All-Wheel Drive brand.

“There’s no denying Forester’s appeal to Australians in both urban and rural environments, so we think this concept will only add to the huge interest,” added Mr Senior.

Today’s unveil follows FHI’s recent announcement of its first all-new new engine in 21 years, which will debut on normally aspirated Foresters in Australia in early 2011.

The third-generation four cylinder horizontally opposed Boxer engine will launch as a 2.5 litre in Australia.

It features a longer stroke, compact combustion chamber and lighter moving parts.

Forester remains Australia’s best-selling compact sports utility vehicle year-to-date, with recently launched diesel variants drawing even more customers to the multi-award-winning model.

Since going on the market in June, diesel variants have represented 29 per cent of Forester sales.

Along with every vehicle in the Subaru range, Forester has an independent five-star rating for occupant safety from the respected Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and is protected by DataDot security

The Beloved Friday The 13th TV Show in Antiques

Friday the 13th TV Show was wildly popular in the late 80′s and it was in syndication for 3 years ending in 1990. This television show has no connection to the movie Friday the 13th about Jason Vorhees and the title was a ploy by the producer to bring in audiences.

The show is based on two cousins Micki Foster and Ryan Dallion that inherit an antiques store from their uncle, Lewis Vendredi. What the unwitting pair does not know in the beginning of the series is that Vendredi ultimately made a deal with the devil to sell antiques out of his shop that were cursed. Eventually the deal was broke by Vendredi and the devil came for his soul.

After the two cousins inherit the store they unknowingly sell off many of the cursed antiques left behind by their uncle. They then begin searching for these antiques when they are alerted about the curse by one of their uncle’s old friends. This is the basis of the story as you follow the pair on their journey to reclaim the antiques that were sold.

Most of the people that buy the cursed antiques discover their power and use it for revenge or other bad intentions. The cousins are on a quest to stop this behavior and prevent others from being hurt by the cursed objects. A human sacrifice must be made for the item to unleash its power and this is why the two are so diligent in finding all objects before this sacrifice is made.

Friday the 13th TV series was known for pushing the envelope and competing with many of the movies that were made at the time with an R rating. This caused a lot of stir but also added to the popularity of the series.

The series was nominated for two Emmy’s and won other awards and also there were many other technical aspects of the show that received very high recognition.

In 2008 a DVD collection was released for the public and this allows the biggest fans to have something on hand to remember this coveted series by.

Friday the 13th TV show may not have aired very long, but there are many people that miss it greatly. With the release of the DVD collection a new fondness for the series has arrived and this has many people reminiscing of the days when this series first aired.
