I wouldn't say that the new FXT is that bad of a car. Watch one get flogged on the NBR

Interestingly, that's how they (the NHTSA) calculate "outliers". Their rates much be much higher than the rest of the industry to even warrant this.

I learned to drive in a '83 240 wagon, and rocked it for a few years. This is not mine, this one looks too good.

Isn't that the point?

As a Subaru owner, I wouldn't purchase any current Subaru cars right now. They dont have enthusiast cars anymore; maybe except for the WRX, STI, Forrester XT, maybe the BRZ.

And yet toyota's crap lineup gets glossed over......

Yeah. the 2014 is Direct Injected Turbo. True it's a CVT, and it's only 250/250 for the hp and torque. But it's the same engine and drivetrain used in the DiT Legacys in Japan (so it can theoretically go up to 295bhp). The block is the same as the BRZ, but with the turbo plumbing, and will be the one used in the…

Toyota is still boring. that FR-S/GT86 is still a Subaru. It's even mfgd @ a subaru plant.

As others have said: Counterpoint is WRX, STI (both to be updated in the near future) and the Forester XT. There's even talk about pushing the STI as a Sub-brand across the model range. Even Toyota's "mojo" is primarily a Subaru.

S60R, but close enough

I know a bunch of poeple who have them in SF. They were giving them away on a 99/month - 0 down lease term. That's great for the city, but that's about it.

Great. I'm going to Beijing in 2-3 weeks for work. Luckily only for 48 hours.

God, and all along, I've only been complaining about the traffic on the 680 and 580 there. At least you don"t have the snotty Peninsula people there.

The probleem is of course playing and controlling music throughout the house. It's nice to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom, to the office, living room and backyard, and have all the music play synchronized. No fuss. Whether or not that's worth the money is completely up to you.

Yeah, TCE and lead. At least the plume is leading *AWAY* from my house. That said, I have yet to visit http://www.moffettfieldmuseum.org/

They've already stated that the new XC90 will be revealed beginning of 2014. That means, design probably already started back in 2011-12.

It's going on their scalable platform architecture, which probably pushed out many model redesigns by a year or two.

I ride a road bike and wear Garmin ANT+ straps to go with my Edge 800 (a 400-500 dollar bike computer w/ GPS, the bike equiv of the Forerunner). I agree with you, I can't see this as any different. In fact, I think this is far worse.

I was just speccing out an XC70 T6 AWD. Turbo inline 6, AWD , 325bhp/354 lb.-ft? That's a tempting combo even w/ the Auto trans.

Their talking cars episodes are interesting to listen to.
