So, instead of the mini... how about a Vishnu tuned Forester XT?

No shiz, I think the Forester and the WRX are tied for having the most reviews as ugly cars.

I don't find the WRX sleek either . But I don't find it a lifted box-hearse either . To each his own, but to my eye, the Mini is far nicer looking (though losing the AWD sucks).

Kind of like PUGS or Bulldogs they're pretty ugly too but people love 'em. What is there to say. Personally I love the Forester, an STi Forester would be hawt!!! Now let me sit here and dream about an STi wagon.

Smells like Carlsen. That sucks man. Raw deal. I think my next car will probably be a Legacy 2.5GT, but it will be used and I will be my own warranty. The only job I have had done for me in the last 8 years that didn't have problems was my '95 L's timing belt at MPJ/GB. Everything else has been retarded. The last work I had done on my car looked like it was done by a drunk monkey. I don't get it.

nobody's perfect. The real test is what they do about the mistake.

Stevens Creek would say F you and screw you over. Lately Carlsen the same. Hopefully Santa Cruz will do what they've shown their charecter to be...fix or replace. admit the mistake.

we'll see.

A Forester XT with a few Sti parts is my dream stealth ride.
A nice ECUTEC'ed tune and you are rolling with 350 crank hp.
I would rather have it auto as well.

Cheers

Why don't you just hand the Forrester right over to the dealership, considering how many STi's Bay Area dealerships have with blown motors from Vishnu??
LOL, how many? I am pretty sure you can blame that on owner/operator error.
All the fools out there modding there ish, beating on it, breaking it, going back to stock, and trying to warrantee it. Bastards!!!!!
