    An Outback with the 2.4T would be pretty sweet. After looking at their website, are they axing the 3.6 in favor of this 2.4T? The CTT thing is a little ocnfusing to me.. Their website says, "Lineartronic 6-Speed Continuously Variable Electronically Controlled Manually Interactive Automatic Transmission With Overdrive (Standard)"

    Good lord, I hope the the crossover coupes get the axe. I have such an irrational hatred for those things.

    I bet this cost $1,000, too! ?

    I do think that is a good idea but I don't think it would mop the floor with the other very VERY established HDs.

    I am eagerly awaiting @smk4565's response to this. "They have cash out the @ss" "money is never an issue" "They'll just throw money at it until it works"

    I'm not doubting the respectable sales numbers. I don't think that is exactly the style of vehicle to light the sales charts on fire.

    I don't think the Subaru Crosstreck sells 2 million units a year.
  11. ccap41
    Yeah, prices can only go down when sales slow down and they HAVE to decrease prices.

    And that seems to make sense. We want things that are slightly less car-like for the ease of getting in and out of and having a hatch for added utility and moving slightly away from the standard sedan body style is pretty much all that is.

    I was thinking the same exact thing with the Venza.

    Don't forget they are selling the EcoSport. That stuff isn't standard on a GLS.
  15. ccap41
    That's a CUV? That looks lower and smaller like a "typical" hatchback.
  16. ccap41
    You also wouldn't notice one passing you in the other direction. The only real difference is the badge on the trunk or hatch.

    https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/guide-to-the-volkswagen-dieselgate-emissions-recall- Try 550,000 in the US, 11 million worldwide. That's just what was affected by their scandal.

    I would wager good money your computer is optimistic if you calculated it over the next 1000 miles. They're a polarizing group but the TFLtruck/car/off-road guys test an awful lot of vehicles and have a pretty good and consistent test procedure and most computers state a higher mpg than what they are actually getting. Most are within 1mpg so nothing crazy but high is high. All of my computers have been higher than what I actually calculate and I've even tried using the same exact pump to eliminate one variable. This is my MKC’s numbers since ownership. Rated: 18/25/21 city/hwy/combined

    And yet, they're still never all that accurate.

    Yeah, I beat highway and combined ratings as well but the best comparison is epa ratings. If we want to add 10% to the diesel(which as known to easily exceed highway ratings) we can do that do and say 30.9mpg for the 2.0T and 41.8mpg for the turbo diesel. That is still a very significant difference for something using a cheaper fuel as well. Also, what was the hand calculated number? Computers are almost always optimistic.

    Congrats, @ocnblu! I wish IL didn't require front license plates..Plate-less looks so much cleaner and better. My Escape had those as well. Somebody on a forum said it was to get air to the brakes because wheels and tires have grown so much. I don't know the accuracy of that but it made sense to me.
  22. ccap41
    People are COMPLETELY looking past the fact the 2.0T drinks premium fuel which costs MORE than diesel while getting significantly worse fuel economy. The article compares it to the 2.0T because of dollars but you're paying for efficiency and efficiency is what you get with the diesel engine. @dfelt mentioned women hate fueling up, well you'll be doing it less often with the diesel than either gas engine. Maybe it's a better option. I'm yet to meet somebody who's complained about getting fuel on themselves.. because most people aren't all willy-nilly with the nozzle.
  23. ccap41
    Tell that to the millions of Jetta TDI owners..
  24. ccap41
    There is no need for it, like almost every single option on a vehicle ever. It's a luxury just like leather and cruise control.

    You can turn the setting off, like the other features you dislike that can be disabled.
