I don't mind a little snow on the playing field, but I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't approve.

I'll take one of each, please.

Yes, the blue manual sportback is perfect... now convince someone to send it to 'Merica.

If your requirement is AWD, 4 doors, and performance, then yes, you should absolutely compare them all. Or at least all the ones in your price range. That is what informed shoppers do. Then you buy the one that best suits your needs.

I don't understand. You would never consider a Subaru, but you drive an STi occasionally for rally?

Oh, and the STi has 3 pedals.

So you shouldn't compare 2 small AWD, performance sedans with turbocharged 4 cylinder engines that are within about $5k of each other in price simply because one is a German luxury brand and the other is a Japanese economy brand? Or it is because the STi has an ugly ass wing on it, which makes it a 'tuner' car while

I like it, but with it compete with the similarly priced WRX STi? It is more money, but a luxury brand, combined with less flash and less power... I dunno.

Few years ago a friend of mine bought 2 or 3 mid 80's 7 series for less than a $1000 *total.* Sure, this one is in good shape, but he is a mechanic and put them all together into 1 very solidly running and driving car for much cheaper. Did he get an awesome deal on all the cars? Clearly, but it still makes me think

I notice now that the badge is Kansas City, KS, not MO. Which side of the state line is this law? I'm in MO, maybe that is why I've never heard of it.

Not being able to warm your car up in the driveway when it is below 0. In Kansas City the cops drive around in the morning and look for this. Then they knock on your door and give you a ticket for 150 buck. Total bullshit racket. The resoning is to prevent auto theft. Even if you have your doors locked running or with

Shut up and take my money... oh... wait... no... I think I'm good. Thanks.

Neighbor down the street had one of these when I was a kid, and it is a nice little truck. But it is very little. The bed isn't really big enough to carry more than a large dog.

I love the look, I love the car, but my very scientific 30 seconds of searching the internet says that I can get a stock one with <10k miles for $68k, and one with more normal miles for around $50k. I'm know wheels, suspension, paint, and a body kit are pricey, but I'm not sure that they are worth $22k.

I bet the food there is awesome.

I want to say NP, but that is only because I REALLY want one of these. Diesel, 3 pedals, 110. I want one a lot. I don't want one that may or may not get crushed if a DMV clerk is nosey, and considering that there are a LOT of ones to just import legally for less than that price, it is a CP.

I am ashamed. I *hate* the Dukes theme, but really that is only the front plate and the removable decals. Without them, the whole package really appeals to me. I wish it had moar powaaaaaaarrrr, but who doesn't?

Not only is the Juke not better looking that the Soul. It is, in fact, perhaps the most bizzare and ugly car I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. And I've Pontiac Aztecs and Porche Cayennes, so that is saying something.

My NP vote takes into consideration my qualifications on spending $100k on a car, which is to say the income/net worth that spending $100k on a toy isn't a big deal.

The target number for fuel economy on it is 30mpg. Don't know what engine that is, but I know that is the target for one of them.
