I often think Subaru uglify their cars on purpose so they can sell more aftermarket STi body kits as well as keep shops like Prova, K2 Gear, Tommy Kaira..... alive.

I don’t think the 5spd manual was available on the premium. It was offered on the base model.

I doubt Trump would allow a Chinese company to buy Tesla. It’ll probably be one of the big three in Detroit with under the table support from the US government.

Really? Is it a XT? You can easily bring out its character by swapping in a few WRX parts. Basically they’re all interchangeable.

Any year model without a turbo is good for a kid.

Just Subaru NA, they still make fun cars in Japan for the domestic market.

Nope, I had ringland failure at around 40,000km on a Euro spec SH Forester. Granted it’s not stock, but I was only at 1.2bar of boost and 2 of the 4 factory pistons had ringland failure.

At least the Rav4 will go 200K miles without a major overhaul to the engine.

The new ‘19 Rav4 looks to be worlds better than the ‘19 Forester, inside and out.

Counterpoint, Anakin triumphed over the Empire and saved the rebellion. All Luke did was yell “save me Dad!”

I can go from factory height to 5” lower on my SH Forester, but no matter how low I go it will never handle like a proper wagon due to the body spacers Subaru designed in. This is true with all lifted Subaru’s.

Both the 6 wagon and the Levorg are great drives. Subaru and Mazda won’t offer them in the US cause every market analysis done says you guys hate wagons.

On top of this, 90% of the imported finished goods are by US based companies. It is these companies that has been enjoying the huge profit margins from low cost Chinese manufacturing and inflated US market price. It’s not as if the profit made from the imported goods are flowing back to China.

There is no reason for China to dump it’s US debt. However, this year they have been slowing down the purchase of more debt as compared to past couple of years, which is also a problem for US.

There is 0% chance of off roading when driving to, around, and away from Lake Tahoe.

They just announced availability of the 2.0 platform for Taiwan, a LHD region.

Except it would eat into the WRX, Forester, and the Impreza’s sales. Look at the WRX sales number after they introduced the Levorg in Taiwan. In Hsinchu, I see Levorg and Foresters everywhere now, but I can go for days without seeing a WRX, much less an actual STi.

It’s the VA WRX chassis.

It’s basically a VA WRX with a wagon back and folding rear seats, so yes, it’s got a lot more usable room compared to a standard WRX.

Yes, Subaru sells a LHD version of the Levorg in both 2.0T and 1.6T to all LHD regions except North America.
