Quoted for truth...

I love the guy's license plate. SO HUM... like humble?
+1

I've already sent a couple messages to Subaru of America regarding bringing the turbo diesel to America. I used the recent news of higher fuel prices as support. (And remember it WILL get more expensive!)


C'mon, tell Subaru of America we want our turbo-diesel Subarus!

OP makes me angry! Arrogant drivers. Never thought of hybrids as that great of vehicles. It just seems like if you want less emissions from cars, don't half *** it and have an intermediary car. Go all the way and build more electric cars and a better infrastructure to support them, as well as better battery life an quicker recharging. Just don't see a point in getting a hybrid. As other posts said as well, get yourself a diesel. Or even the hydrogen technology.

Besides all that, all those hybrids are boring cars. They are all just point A to B card. My Subaru still excites me and would rather deal with the crappy 91 prices than go for a boring econo car.
