My gf has only ever leased Subarus. She’s on her 3rd manual Impreza (a 14), and from what I can see, it’s the worst of the 3. She also bought it after the lease, which was a decision I was on the fence about with her at the time, but Subaru had to put a new engine in it at 20k due to excessive oil consumption so we…

I’d agree with you, up until 2015 with the release of the 5th Gen Outback.  The interiors of vehicles released since they are solidly competitive.

Your mom is overrated.

Subaru took "if it ain't broke don't fix it" too far. 

Meh, they’re actual awd for under 30k. Not really a rating just saying if you have deep snow and not deep pockets they fit. Never bought one because it was good or bad, bought them because Audi’s are out of my price range and the other awd options are haldex crap (though I think a few haldex models may have crapt into…

Dude, paragraphs.

I don’t the value in this (am Canadian). A lease of 1000+$ per month. With no buy back option and, for business, over the 600$/month allowed for tax deduction.

As someone who used to live in snow I think anybody who lives in Canada and is interested in the Volvo program is probably going to wait to see exactly what tires. Winter tire preferences are a very serious thing. I will take hakkapeliitta or I will take blizzaks or I will take him. Granted that was also about 13…

Nah, Subarus are pretty darn reliable. That’s why they have so many repeat buyers. 

Leaked! Ford’s entire 2025 model line-up:

Step your game, son.

That’s probably about the worst possible option in the CUV category: 1) rental fleet trim, 2) GM product

Except it hasn’t resulted in wage growth for the vast majority of Americans.

2nd gear: Reduced union participation over the last 3 decades is a big factor behind the stagnant wages. Without the strength of collective bargaining, workers get paid less because corporations can pay them less. Factor in inflation and it’s a downward spiral.

Bush Sr. right?

“I’m calling BS on that based on the number of Forester XTs I see out there.”

Colorado ski traffic is already destroyed by the Crosstrek, we’ll hardly notice this. 

Hardly ever see current gen Foresters in the ditch (I think its a self-selection thing) unlike Jeep Grand Cherokees. We should get some grant money to study this. . .

Why not say the name? Anyone that shady deserves to be outed for their fuckery.

I hate to break it to you, but all of the positive examples you have brought up are all direct results of Obama era policies. These things take years to take effect, so Trump is really just taking credit for something Obama did.
