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

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