The anachronism is part of the appeal. And a solid rear axle isn’t hurting anyone on an SUV or a Truck, it’s fine to keep that no matter what.

It’s a limited edition final model for Subaru fans. The idea that there are price competitive luxury cars is remarkably beside the point. 

M240i with AWD and a stick is actually really close in a lot of ways that aren’t number of doors. If you can still get that. 

The Subaru has more power than the Golf R.

The TRD Pros aren’t actually comparable to the high end off road packages from the other companies. It’s shocks, a skid plate, and cosmetic updates. 

That’s what the link says, yes.

Yes? Super limited edition cars don’t always make a ton of sense from a frugal point of view. 

“This included upgrades like the front suspension and new 19-inch BBS wheels and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600A summer tires developed for the S209.”

Fuck yeah!

I also like comparing things that happened in the 1970's to things that happened now.

“And that isn’t even the iconic blazer. That was the softer version but it was reliable and practical for the time.”

Oh, the system is good, though they should add an external plug.

“Is this just a Jeep thing or does it affect all solid-axle front suspension?”

I always love the hazard stripes, you know, for safety. 

It’s basically not. They filed bankruptcy and their assets were acquired. What’s left of “Takata” now is in the business of fixing the recalls. 

No, but the company basically exists at this point to fulfill recalls. It declared bankruptcy and was acquired.

People would be upset anyway since it’s another crossover, and because it’s built in Mexico, which was a big thing when it came out.

But we were just talking about the Volt, which wasn’t THAT weird. 

Yeah, I forgot the Volt’s generator could feed the motor directly, rather than just charge the batteries, that along with the external plug makes it a much smarter system. 

Yeah, but the Bolt is a pure EV.
