Totally agree. Very nice to see new models that actually have some styling\design\personality and aren’t just a bunch of random intersecting angles and weird proportions…ahem Toyota, Hyundai etc.

I think Mitsubishi really could make a comeback if they focused on simple and inexpensive cars. Ditch the shitty CVT’s, up reliability and manufacture what they used to be good at. No one makes cheap, reliable, simple cars anymore. Not everyone wants or needs 15" screens, 14 different traffic alert systems, crash mitigation etc.

Ehh, I don’t have much confidence Subaru won’t fuck up the hybrid release in some way. Take away Subaru AWD and just slap in the RAV’s drivetrain, make it cost $45K or put a bunch of weird neon stripes on it like the sport trims of stuff now… something like that.

They already jacked up the look of the 25 Forester ( oh but it’s “more premium”, like that’s what Subaru owners want. The same old shit every other manufacturer makes. Piano black everywhere and weird ass shaped wheel arches…) and stuck with the dumb tablet infotainment in everything.

I guess I’m just salty because I don’t like the direction Subaru is headed lately and a little pissed that they more than likely won’t offer anything I’m interested in soon.

Well, they added that stupid fucking tablet screen to it so I’m out. I was interested in it if they had a hybrid.

I have a 23 Outback with that screen and I just can’t get on board with it. Pecking away at a screen while driving and trying to adjust things really sucks.

I guess Subaru is going for the younger ( I’m 40…) crowd that wants their car to operate like a damn cell phone…
