I am truly amazed not by the continued growth of the Outback, that is to be expected but by the Crosstrek. Been in them and nice, but tight and tiny. I just do not get what people like about them but they are selling and clearly the reason their sales are up.

The small crossover niche seems to be really a fast growing market... saw the CH-R up close at the auto show, I guess it will fill the void left by the Juke for oddest looking small SUV...
