As the owner of a 3rd and 4th generation, my first impression is that the exterior looks like a current-generation Nissan Rogue and an Outback made sweaty, hurried love in the cargo area of a Highlander and this is what popped out nine months later.

If I hadn’t just spent the last three hours at work knee-deep in Final Cut Pro, I I would’ve done this up all nice with video or graphics. But I did, so I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to settle for lyrics:

The protagonist in 'The Odessa File' found out the hard way that the Jaguar XK 150S was not the best choice. Though, in fairness to the car, its stiff suspension did save his ass from a car bomb.

"Your name ends in -in? Time to get out"

"You could chop up 30 dissidents back here!"

If you had the Forester, you could just drop him in through the ginormous moonroof. *Swish!*

It's not pointing to the swimmer's junk?

And Robin Sparkles also begat the Slap Bet ... which they also ruined in the final season.

I believe it. I do part of my swim workout with a drag parachute — it taxes MY transmission and engine (6-liter twin turbo, yo ;-) and it's only 8" wide. Can only imagine the drag 7 full-sized flags would produce.

I have noted that STi + fart can + flat brimmed baseball hat = greater than average odds of being an asshat.

No, to be a true Subicorn (does that term exist yet? If not, I claim TM rights!), he'd have to be a Republican, too. (I did once see an Outback with fairly right-wing bumper stickers parked next to my Forester once. Was tempted to wait and see what kind of person came out to claim it.)

Same here.

Hers might not have had a trunk release, either, come to think of it. But it was so damn small, I rarely used it anyway. Just threw my stuff in the passenger seat or foot well.

I had to call the dealership. So embarrassing.

The only people who even bother using the manual option on an auto tend to be stick lovers. And yet they give us the opposite of what we're used to.

This drove me nuts on my ex-boyfriend's S60!

Until today, I had honestly forgotten about all the control location weirdness in my mom's old '84 Fiero. And the funny part is that we still have it and she wants my dad to restore it. Wonder if she'll remember where the trunk/gas cap release and E-brake are.

Agreed. Here's what I always wind up needing the manual, Google or the Enterprise agent for:

Yup, ran into that with a rental Jeep Liberty. One of the many things about that car I hated.
