Yeah and if your aunt grew a pair, she’d be your uncle.

No shit, Sherlock. But it was still a domestic badge made by domestic labor in a domestic location.

Considering the 15+ year owners of the Subaru Forester is 12.8% of Foresters sold... We’re talking about a pretty small segment. There might be more overlap than you are willing to admit between these two small populations.

Don’t project your beliefs as the entire market. I know a few Gen1+2 Subie Forester owners who will tell you directly that they’re not replacing it because there isn’t a true replacement available. I’m not saying it’s the whole, I’m saying this is part of the logic that certain cars stay with their first owners for…

Built in California with union labor and wears a GM badge. Define domestic... Sure it shares substantial parts with the Matrix, but the Matrix was made in Ontario, like a healthy volume of Chryslers and GMs.

Part of this is also the willingness to upgrade. For things like that 15 year-old Forester, there is no denying that the vehicle is substantially different from what it was then. If it can’t be ‘replaced’ you keep driving it.

When I’ve nearly been hit I was already crossing before the car approached the intersection to turn, then not looking for anyone, proceeded at speed through the crosswalk only to slam their brakes before nearly hit me or my dogs. Fact is there are variables that a pedestrian can control and there are variables a…

So long as you find one with the G80 rear, you’re in business.

I grew up in a family with a (4.0L eAWD) Aerostar tow-rig. We used to joke that Midwest tow ratings should take into account the density of the towable as well as the weight.
