In 2003 you could get the best looking Forester they ever made with a manual transmission. It could do 0-60mph in well less than 6 seconds. That was peak Forester.

x2. Given the heavy Toyota influence at Subaru, I doubt it will be a plug-in. Happy to be wrong though.

Yes, Subaru should be praised for the thin pillars and big glass. Might this be one of the few modern vehicles with stellar outward visibility?

I like how big the greenhouse is all the way around. 

Technically, that was a Fiat Punto.

So Prius bad if driving slow, and Prius bad if driving fast?

Yeah I don’t get this one either. It’s not like a Prius gets 20MPG at 80 mph. Sure it may not be optimal, but Prius drivers can also be running late just like the rest of us. I’d rather then be doing 80 on the freeway than 50. 

i always have the strongest urge to flip off anybody that has a sticker like “FUCK JOE BIDEN AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM”, i’m the last person that’d defend joe biden but i’ve also got a 4 year old that’s starting to learn to read stuff and that’s the last thing i want him to be reading

I took it more like, “82 year old man uses only words to neutralize aggressive, stronger, younger man”

Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner’s front door and beating him to death in front of his family. I feel like they forgot.

Sen. Bernie Sanders the *unlikely voice of reason* ??!  He’s been the nearest thing to a reasonable voice I’ve heard from the US senate in literally decades.

Don’t underestimate Sander’s fortitude. Remember the mittens. It was cold that day. 

Yes, people are very judgey about how people who have nothing to lose - a condition people are convinced has nothing to do with them and they shouldn’t have to care about - actually act like they have nothing to lose. But America is really quite enamored with the falsehood that everyone is directly responsible for…

That’s always been my confusion...why AREN’T there more competitors?

I have a 2008 Toyota Prado with a 4 cyl diesel engine and 5 sp manual.

Perhaps anything with the words “VW” and “Westfalia” associated should have been included.  

I love it that you don’t do a public consult “because the public doesn’t have anything to add to the process.” That sums it up. Let experts and people that rely on science make the decision and it if screws up someone’s “fun”, tough.

Most of these will be polluting shit boxes that aren’t fit to be on the road.

How exactly do you know that said cars were “polluting shit boxes that aren’t fit to be on the road”???
