Now that you referenced my X-Mode write up on the Forester forum, you are obligated to review a 2016 Forester XT when they come out in a month or two.

I would be very curious to see a write up that was the opposite of this. Being in the car business as a salesman, I know that my trade has a bad reputation. That being said, a lot of the time clients come into the dealership predisposed to distrust, and often times belittle their sales associate, sales managers, lot…

Honestly, it sounds like your disparaging her accomplishments because you wish you had the same opportunities, which is the definition of envy.

This is Jalopnik right? Where we drool over million dollar super cars and dream of thrashing everything of 4 wheels. You might want to go back to Jezebal.

Man so many butthurt people here just itching to take this girl down.

95% of people feel they are getting ripped of because they are not automotive technicians and don't have a clue about mechanics, the cost of parts, and labor rates

pretty sure that’s a turbo, bro

It certainly has international appeal.

46,000 miles and I am still loving my 2014 Forester XT! Just got back from my latest soft roading adventure. Mine is the Silver one in the above photo.

Disagree! These things have tons of history and are rare as shit, whereas even 90-series Defenders have started popping semi-regularly. Then again, I'm part of that off-road/4x4 demographic that drools over anything unrefined and semi-Moab ready. Probably not representative of the majority of Jalopnik readers, but…

I'm glad to explain to those not from the South. We're generally helpful people, and many in our midst (especially in Dallas) love adding lift kits, winches, and rock sliders to vehicles that are driven primarily in paved areas with no more than a couple hundred feet of elevation changes.

This is also Texas. We generally don't like suing Good Samartians, it doesn't sit well in Church.

For some reason that's a big deal around here.

Yeah, no way. That's a laughably awful idea for so many reasons, but here are a few:

just the angle, hers a side on shot that shows the door gap, but you're right about the handles being gone.

Subie!

Not defending Blabla23, only showing you that apparently math is hard. What you are trying to get at is GDP per capital. Let's do some math!

With so much drama in the MBZ it's kinda hard naming models consistently.

SLC, that name should bring back memories.

I remember a guy in a Ford made in mexico and Brasil gave me shit for driving an "import" when he saw me with my Subaru made in Indiana
