Unless you have a 3.6L H6 Subaru with a 3,000# capacity no you can't.

The article says "newly" launched. It should have said "re-launched" as the commenters said. The exterior design is not new except that the rear door looks to be a single door design rather than the previous double cargo style doors.

The original version was basically a toy hauler/camping trailer. The back opened and you could roll in bikes, slide in some kayaks and what have you. Now it's just a camping trailer. Surprised they are bringing this out when (from what i understand), Airstream also purchased the NEST fiberglass trailer, which are the same size but a different aesthetic.

The article indicates a Subaru Outback. I know my brother's Subaru Forester would not be able to tow it (towing capacity - 1500 lbs).
'With a base weight of 2,585 pounds, you can (just barely) pull it behind a Subaru Outback.'

I think it looks nice.

And with a starting price of almost $35K you could buy a nice teardrop and a truck to tow it with.

Overpriced yuppie status symbol.

My $0.02 worth
