To wealthier and better educated buyers, crossovers are for Kardashians. These shoppers are looking for Masterpiece Theater.
(Buick) TourX sales have increased steadily in the 12 months it’s been in dealerships. Critically, those who buy it are on average more affluent than people who opt for the Enclave, the largest and most expensive of Buick’s SUVs.
They’re better educated, too.

Everything about the outback is terrible.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:05 pmOutback would be better if it didn't have a damn CVT.
CVTs are awful.
It's slow, its ugly, it has gotten YUGE, it has a CVT and it isn't all that cheap. Crosstrek is better in every way other than speed.

My best friends fiance has a CrossTranny, it is an OK vehicle. It is a bit on the smaller side of the last gen, but nothing else has AWD and this type of MPG and relative reliability. Yes it is slow as balls but the CVT makes it ok to around in. It is 3/7 overall. Great car for a woman... and it can take you anywhere you wanna go...[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:10 pmSubaru would kill it if they made a Crosstrek WRX.

Like eventually after you purchase the car? I believe I got the same for both of my GTI's, definitely for the Mk6, I think I did for the mk7.
Did it ask things like what kinda trans etc. etc.?

I wished my mirage had a regular auto. the manual in the Hyundai i20 overseas with the same hp, same class and same displacement was better in every way. Especially in acceleration, just goes to show that trans makes quite a difference, as we all know.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:05 pmOutback would be better if it didn't have a damn CVT.

Yea, within like a month or so after I bought my car. Asked lots of questions about the car, about the buying process, about me, demographi cs stuff, etc.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 8:34 pmLike eventually after you purchase the car?

Currently at $36k for the p car haters. Ideal late model 993.

Im real curious on this 964 in RSR faux trim.
If that goes for under $30k... I will wish I spent $30k.

i'd like to see more info on what was done with the motor for it being a one off 3.8 "race motor"

Curious to see the spread between this and the 993 you posted earlier when the hammer drops.
