Subaru already have a small impreza-ish wagon: Levorg. From there it’s downhill though: Only available with CVT trans, 2.0 models are only sold as rhd, other markets only get the 1.6 170hp. Available with 300hp in Japan...

Those control arms with pressed ball joints looks a lot like the ones on my saab (ng9-3 and opel), where you replace the whole control arm, cannot do the balljoint alone. Really easy to do.
Yes, they tell all kids to not cross the road until the bus has driven away, there are also orange stickers saying this by the door in most busses.
Well, yes. Problem here is that the bus company, school and parents didn’t hear about this incident before this video went viral. They’re working on how to make sure this won’t happen again now... And the school have had traffic safety on the agenda.
We don’t have specific school busses here. If you (as any person) take a bus from point a to b in the morning or when school ends, chances are that it’s the bus that also delivers/picks up schoolkids.
Volvo has also done this. At least they haven’t tried hiding it with those embedded chrome-lines...
I went with the 4pets crate solely because it doesn’t rattle or make any unwanted noises, but it’s a really nice crate. I’d recommend getting the bumper protector (the red thing in the bottom left corner) which folds out to protect the bumper from scratches. I also got the mattress and the crash pillow (the red thing…
If it’s any consolation: I found out you have to reset the windows by going to the dealer, complaining that sometimes when i roll the windows up they’d suddenly roll themselves down as soon as they reached the top. Happens especially in the cold, so really a PITA... I was given the dumbed down lecture on anti-pinch,…
Also: If you have heated seats: You can have the climate control on and have heated seats, but if you turn climate off the heated seats will also turn off. Weird.
I do like those US rear-lights. Me want :/

Easy! E-type - Life. I don’t care much for 90s europop, but the car! This is one of the pre production prototype Koenigseggs, the first cars were delivered 2002, this music video is from 2001. And those doors are awesome!
Ford Transit “sport” exhaust!!
There’s the 2 Series, which is a two-door car and therefore fits in line with BMW’s naming scheme.
Wow, I’ve experienced Paris, LaGuardia and Philadelphia international airport (and US Airways? Never again!!), and am not the slightest surprised any of them are on the list. First time i flew alone was connecting flight at paris CDG, and there were no seats, no information, and the only staff I could find that spoke…
Yes, the plug-in alternatives are getting better, and one of the biggest problems with 100% electric cars is the range anxiety (I drive a Leaf for work, and yup, the range anxiety is real, esp. in cold weather), which you don’t have with a plug-in hybrid. I especially like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and the only…

Actually, they are 155/70-19". Probably expensive too, since the i3 is the only car (at least to my knowledge) that uses this dimmension.
No love for Arctic Trucks and Fjallasport?
In the quest for more fuel efficiency and safety, many automakers are moving away from hydraulic to electric power assist steering (EPAS). Cars with EPAS will save around 1 MPG, and allow manufactures to implement active safety systems like lane keeping assist.
