I like it a lot. It's getting nothing but rave reviews everywhere. Kinda makes me wish I would have waited a while...

Why aren't more cars made in AWD?

Exspense and complexity of the system + added weight.

Thank goodness more aren't sacrificing themselves to that bandwagon... The numb feel is a major drawback, along with expense, weight, and a higher loss of power between engine and wheels.

I so want the 5-door! I just hope Ross isn't too jealous when Brad comes home.

Now if they could do the AWD and keep the interior volume the same and the wieght around 3200#, that would be a sweet ride.
