Well they certainly are setting it up for failure.

Hell, they could make it a CTO-only option if they didn't want to risk stock sitting on dealer lots. I'm sure the people that want manuals typically have no problem waiting for a build.

Goddamn it. What's the point of offering the manual ONLY on the 2WD gas powertrain? Precisely what do they think the market is for the manual? The cheapest configuration possible? That makes no sense on a Canyon, which is supposed to be a non-cheap Colorado.

Or blob fetishes, for that matter.

Except searching "blob" does actually find results for "blobeye", only they are further down the list due to google listing by relevence.

So the implication is that people do a lot of talking about peanuts on that forum?

Please explain how the google search on NASIOC for "blob" has fewer hits than "blob eye".

...says the guy who went to google instead of NASIOC to get that result.

That, and they will make the manual 2WD only with the absolute lowest/worst trim options because they think people only buy manuals to save money.

GDB USDM 03-05 imprezas are much more often called "peanut-eye", rather than "blob-eye".

And this is the precise reason why the new MQB A3 sportback isnt sold in the USA.

Well you got the displacement right, thats an EX650

Obligatory

Let me guess, that show is going to bring in BOATLOADS of white people.

My college roommate up in Duluth:

Seriously, enough with the BM/BR already. Maybe Subaru will get back to something less...... Fat Camry.

Well, go see what you have to pay for what they bundle in with the Diesel option....

Step 1:

The lower one

A4? Really??

A fleet of GM vehicles in Mary Kay pink. Come on, is that all you've got? Why don't we just stop the lame jokes before they start, and let's nip any sort of female-CEO navel-gazing and let Mary Barra, the new CEO of GM, do her job.
