Why would you buy the first car of a production run. You know it has a
higher probability of a design defect.


I keep suspecting with each post that you know less and less about
cars. The B9 is using a poven engine and a tweaked Outback platform. In
fact, it's just an Outback VDC model with a lot more luxury thrown in.
It's a proven car,

Law of converse accident = The sum of the parts is not the whole. The
components individually may be very good, but the aggregate system is not
field tested very much.

The Outback platform is widened and stretched for the B9. It uses different
tooling, the loading is different, the manufacturing line is different. It
will not be the same as the Outback. So, is the suspension the same? How are
the strut towers made stronger to handle the bigger load? Thicker metal? An
annealing process? Higher kips yield steel? If it is just made bigger, than
it is weaker.

Do you think that if Subaru engineers took the attitude that the car as it
is now is done and perfect (from a zero defect both engineering and
manufacturing standpoint), then Subaru would continue to make great cars?
It's ok you believe it because you buy the car.






Here's our B9 with an Icon theatre system. 3 screens, two DVDs and we
bailed on the NAV because I wanted a portable for the STI as well.
