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.

Will that engine fit in our cars? I wonder if there will be aftermarket for the car?

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.

Needs to find a legal way to beat the Subies in the STS class at AutoX. It is probably in the drive though wink

too bad it isn't RWD, doesn't have the weight penalty (well, not nearly as much) as AWD.

Should move fairly well though laugh
