Meanwhile in Europe they only sell some were it snows sometimes. Sales figures for the Netherlands, where somebody decided that Subabu's needed to be really expensive compared to all other cars.

So it has motorcycle tires, and a motorcycle engine? Why not just buy this then?

Or Pikes Peak?

I'm afraid Doug is right, they are pure evil. I drove a Cayenne S briefly, and if you don't feel like a total douchebag in one of those things you are obviously a total douchebag.

It's flexible. Five hours is no problem. When you think you almost need to go, you loosen your seatbelt and that will buy you another hour or two. I then drive absolutely flat out untill I run out of gas. If you're not out of gas by this time you have not driven fast enough or need a different (better) car.

Is that an A6 allroad? I've always lusted after one of those...

I don't like that one very much, but i do want this one. It's cheaper too.

Ooooh... I saw this one at a museum a few weeks ago, sorry fo the fuzzy picture.

Why all the cheap green cars? Don't we want this anymore?

Like this but with cars? Isn't that a little bit too dangerous for a country that likes to sue people if you just look at them?

Pro tip. Smart people without money buy a forged wheel from an older high end OEM car to save weight and money. I have them as winter wheels, they are much lighter and stronger than cast alloys.

I think I would basically want an SUV that didn't look like an SUV. And with a more economical engine. So I could get an Audi Allroad or a Volvo.

Don't be so hard on the bug, I think it's perfect. I wish we had these in Europe, I would love to own one.

Great engine, but like tduassassin said, the later VR6 engines are even better imo. Why not get one of those in the A3 quattro instead? Nobody wants these cars here so they are cheap.
