Outback Hotspot

The 2011 Subaru Outback will come with the Subaru Mobile Internet system, a wi-fi hotspot for 10 or more users within 150 feet of the vehicle.

The system, which operates on a 3G network, was created by Autonet Mobile, which also has partnerships with Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Cadillac, GM and Volkswagen, according to its website.

Wi-fi can be added to a 2011 Outback for $499, plus a $35 activation fee. A one-year subscription is another $348, or $29 a month.

More details on the wi-fi enabled Subaru Outback are available from the Philadelphia Business Journal.
