I guess you would buy a Forester then? But everyone says they are ugly because the back is so big on them.

Transmission or drivetrain? I’m fine with them both TBH the CVT in the last couple of years isn’t great but its not terrible either and gives good mileage and the x mode is better than the respective competitors offerings

Prison Van comes to mind.

that could be interpreted as the first sports wagon sold in the rest of the world where as the Eagle was only available in North America. I dunno. Marketing huh. 

The answer would have to involve Hydropneumatic suspension. I offer the Citroen C6

Auto Zeitung has a lot of interesting quirky photos in their archive. I want to become a member just to download the photos of this Toyota Tercel 4wd that was driven over the English Channel with giant bigfoot tyres.

Divorce in 1970! Heresy!
Also, kids were the crumple zone.

The problems happened when they tried to make the flat 4 air cooled water cooled by adding a water jacket in the VW T3.

I’m not sure about the USA but in Australia. A lot of stuff went on roof bars (usually badly tied down), trailers were common to buy and rent as most cars were 6 cylinder and had tow bars and there were quite a lot of utes (el caminos) around.

In 1970, a Subaru dealership received a special order request from the Tohoku Electric Power Company for Subaru to build an all weather vehicle with 4WD. The company was using Jeeps at the time. They were open to the weather, could not seal out the cold…

Note also Jesses Tercel 4wd Wagon that was the proto Aztec from 1983

I’ve studied design and practiced it for a long time. You are wrong. We are talking about cars here and brands like Volvo have a large amount of repeat buyers who even subconsciously would recognised the font which with slab serifs represent safety and solidity (why would they want to represent that?) . How many car…

Looks like it was phoned in by two different teams, Icon team - I think the Arrow is a little thick in relation to the circle. Font Team, I’m glad you kept the slab serif font (Volvo Broad font?). As I’ve always liked its strength. but this lighter version is a little to spaced for me. I”m…
