BWAHAHAHAHA! Dude. Now you're posting private posts?!!! There are
Edmund groups bashing Lexus and Infinity as well. Face it. You lost.

What, exactly, did I lose?


The B9 has not only been well reviewed, it did better in safety tests
than even a FULL size truck like the Tundra! It has superior handling,
and more safety features for a toddler as well.

At least it does some things better than a pick up truck.

It also gets 25 MPG on
the highway (winter) and 23 (summer).

Lie!

Oh, and it's the most reliable
builder according to CR. Check the owner rating at Edmunds. 9.2.

That's a purely subjective rating.



Highway range is 390 miles per tank at 80 MPH. Some folks have pulled
420.

Another lie!



The new WRX and STI have the B9 front end, but the suspension has also
been improved. Sounds like someone went to the Bob Crantz School of
judging cars by what others think!

I pass no judgement on the car. I merely posting what others say. It has you
jumping through hoops!



Seriously, Crantz, you need to DRIVE these cars before coming to a
conclusion.

They're not my conclusions. Why would I want to drive any of those cars? I
don't care about them.

I read some bad comments on the B9, Murano, RX330, H3 BMW
X5, but I drove them because MY opinion is the one that counts.

Why then do you use other's opinions to support your own?

Did you
know that M&T magazine has had 4 reviews on the B9, two good and two
bad? It's hilarious.

Does Subaru advertise in the magazine?


You clearly have no opinion of your own and must quantify and back your
beliefs using the support of others when possible.

I don't need an opinion of my own to troll you! Just posting someone else's
makes things so easy.
I would almost never give my real opinion on anything in this forum.


As a real man, I go
my own way.

Suzanne owns the boat, right?

That's why someone like Sloco owns a Lincoln LS, a badly
built Camry. That's why you own a Tundra. It's a good truck, but devoid
of any character.

I don't own a Tundra. I don't get my identity from the vehicle I drive. It's
simply transportation and a tool. I am my own man, I don't need props.
That's why you'll never know about my boat.

BTW, the RX330 is another top pick for a crossover SUV. Suzanne found
it skittish at higher speeds. It has poor stock rubber, still a great
SUV though.

Top pick by who? It's got no headroom and is definitely a Toyota, you can
still sense "Corolla" in it. It's a great vehicle for old ladies maybe.

Get back to me when you actually drive some cars!

That might be a while. My preferred mode of transportation is a bicycle.

Did you know the Tribeca is a contender for Ugliest Vehicle of 2005?

Admit it Bob, people either like or hate it's looks.

The gas guzzling abilities of the pig is measurable fact, as is the slow
acceleration and massive weight. My God! It weighs as much as a full size
pick up truck and doesn't perform much better. Face it Bob, it's Subaru's
version of the SUV crossover pig mobile. If that's your style I respect that
because you have to live with it. It's Suzanne's money and your choice. But
at least allow me to point and laugh when you drive by down the street!


Bless you and Amen!

What, exactly, did I lose?


Every point you've tried to make...because...

That's a purely subjective rating.

As are ALL ratings. No one can even agree on crash tests. A car either
works for you or it doesn't.

Another lie!

Read the owner's forums. Lots of people reporting 22-25 MPG after break
in. Locally I get just under 20 around town. That's pretty good.

Admit it Bob, people either like or hate it's looks.

Of course. That's another reason to like it. At least it's different.
When everyone likes the looks it's called BLAND. That's why so many
Acuras and Camrys sell. In person most people seem to love it. But my
opinion is that I like the front end and don't like the tail.

I don't get my identity from the vehicle I drive. It's
simply transportation and a tool. I am my own man, I don't need props.


That's what you say, but the rather dull perception here is that have
no identity, though I know who you are of course. To say you get no
identity from "props" is a lie on every level. You CHOOSE what's in
your life, from cars to bikes and even food and that's part of who you
are. Unless you're about to claim that you make no choices on your own.
Based on your reliance on reviews, that may be the case.

Top pick by who?

By me, I drove one for two weeks and I really liked it. Quick, solid
and agile with a very sweet interior. I prefer the ride on the B9 by a
small margin. Some of these cars lose out because the cabins are too
small for my height. That killed the Murano and MDX for example.

Suzanne's money and your choice.

My father and I bought her the B9 for her graduation. Even in heavy
snow she must show up for work. Since the Outback was unstoppable in
the snow the B9 was a logical step up. At the same time she wanted
something smaller than a full size SUV...not a truck. The B9 feels like
a car because that's really what it is.
And so...as I said....you lost. And since the B9, 35s5 and everything
that goes on here is presented by me for a reason you well know...the
hoops are also mine!
And that's why you lost. As in the "other" thread, you may have the
last words awarded to any foe so mortally wounded. I'm outa da thread,
so enjoy that last gasp!

Hoooh ahhhhh!

I've only tried to make one point. I've gotten that across.

The results of the crash test are true, they're reality. Whether they are
applicable to real or all driving conditions is another matter.


Another lie!

You said better than 25 mpg. A lie!

That's all that matters is what you want.

That's what you say, but the rather dull perception here is that have

I have no identity and am very dull.

To say you get no
identity from "props" is a lie on every level. You CHOOSE what's in
your life, from cars to bikes and even food and that's part of who you
are.

Yes, I do choose those things. They are an extension of me, they are not
used to create an image, as a prop does. Even the prop on your boat is
inadequate.

Unless you're about to claim that you make no choices on your own.
Based on your reliance on reviews, that may be the case.

Top pick by who?

By me, I drove one for two weeks and I really liked it.

Another lie! How did you get the car for two weeks when so few are in the
country?

Quick, solid
and agile with a very sweet interior. I prefer the ride on the B9 by a
small margin. Some of these cars lose out because the cabins are too
small for my height. That killed the Murano and MDX for example.

Quick is subjective. My pet turtle is quick.

Heavy snow? New York? I lived there for over 2 decades and the amount of
snowfall in those two decades is less than one month where I live now. My
car is front wheel drive with good tires (a Ford Maverick driven in
reverse!). Are you sure the B9 is up to it? Maybe spiked tires might help.


And so...as I said....you lost. And since the B9, 35s5 and everything
that goes on here is presented by me for a reason you well know...the
hoops are also mine!

Are they flaming hoops?

And that's why you lost. As in the "other" thread, you may have the
