Wow, lots of great Subie pics! I've never owned a Subaru, but am considering one for my next daily driver. I'm bored with my Honda Civic, and I have to leave it parked on snowy winter days, for the most part. I like some of the older models, especially those with two speed transfer cases. I guess they don't think the new ones should have them. (ugh!) I would like to have something with better off-pavement handling than what my Civic can do, but with good economy still. Otherwise, I'd just drive my truck all the time, but I can't really afford that.
I'm considering a new Outback, but I want to see the XV Crosstrek first, to see if it would work out better for me. Now after seeing these pictures, I'm thinking about some of the older models, though I'm not quite sure I want that kind of a project for my daily driver. Choices, choices...
