The new Outback is kinda tall, but the rack is relatively low, especially compared to aftermarket ones. I saw people demoing putting on and taking off yaks at Canoecopia this year of Outbacks and Foresters, though many were using the Hullavator, which represents so small a cost relative to a $25k car you might as well just get one, IMO.
They've definitely improved the car a lot. 2010 Motortrend SUV of the year and it drives really nicely.
