so many xposts, the one about markup was in reference to rav4 prime, the driving up devil’s tower was in ref to land cruiser, although same could be said of my dad’s old 84 4runner with the dashboard inclinometer and locking hubs

i find the “engine” noise of EV’s very unsettling— like an incoming UFO in a movie or like suddenly my neighborhood walk has an overdubbed weirdly atonal score

always bring back the wagon for everything, but tbh was never a prius fan such a tin can, new one looks a lil more planted

my prius prime is the best car i’ve ever driven, glad to see them pivot towards phevs on a bigger scale since all their other models are hybrids now anyway. boosting the EV range from 25 to 39 is p neat, wondering how much extra it’s gonna cost now tho

pretty lame that the subaru impreza hatch (not an actual wagon) and acura tsx sport wagon are discontinued
would be great if honda made a civic or accord version of the acura tsx wagon
this seems correct to me: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/americans-dont-station-wagons-heres-205959537.html
This leaves the wagons with perhaps the most narrowcasted demographic in the entire auto industry, made up of practical unwed hipsters, young childless couples, and car writers, who have always been BIG on the wagon thing because they lack other more obscure choices, such as updated El Caminos or a Subaru Baja

I don't really get this -- so the Subaru Outback is a station wagon and the Forester is a crossover/SUV? I think of those cars as kind of indistinguishable and purchased by the same kind of people. (I drive a Forester.)
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 19:55 (one year ago) link
imo neither are wagons, since neither have a third pillar (plus they have the clearance of an suv not a sedan)
i think the only brands currently making wagons are audi, bmw, benz and volvo. and as we already discussed they are all crazy expensive, which cuts into the budget for kobe steak and helicopter fuel
― the late great, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 19:58 (one year ago) link
the outback is definitely longer in the back than a forester

confusingly, the outback used to be available as a sedan

forester is a little taller and squarer than the outback but lol yeah they are comically similar
actually if you have, say, a 2002 forester, i think that might count?

^^ if you look at the photo of the chassis toward the bottom (next to the linkfor subaru global platform) it's a bit hard to follow but i think i can see a c and d pillar? so maybe it counts?

Let’s look back on that 2002 model; the first WRX to be sold in North America and, it can be argued, the one that made Subaru into a household name not only for dog-walking enthusiasts but for driving enthusiasts too.
but according to wikipedia impreza WRXs were sold in europe since 92 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Impreza#WRX
