Honestly, I’d love a turbo crosstrek

Here in Colorado, Subarus are good for speeding/tailgating in the right lane, which is kind of ironic when you think about the stereotypical Subie owner.

@ that point even with independent suspension its probably not more comfortable to drive than the jl

Hahahahahahaha!!!! Hahahahahahahah!!! ...oh, you were serious?

I'm glad someone finally Said It!!!!!!!

I would not fit in with the Suburu demographic...thank goodness!

I've never seen a gun rack on a stubie..

Cant imagine the breakover angle is any better with this Subaru than a stock wrangler. How is that possible?

The last Subaru I considered was the Brat back in my youth.

I know we all talk about the Bronco coming out but who’s upgrading to an Outback Wilderness for the better breakover angle and roof rack strength?

How is smaller tires, less ground clearance and plastic bumpers an upgrade?

I love the Jeep Wrangler, but if I did not own a Wrangler, I would most likely own an Outback. I've driven them extensively and I think they are great wagons. They are very popular here in the NW as many people use them for road trips, outdoor activities, great in the snow, etc. I knew someone that lived in Fairbanks, and due to the snow, and he said the only vehicles that could get around easily and reliably in all the harsh weather conditions were Subis and Wranglers.

Subaru: the Japanese car with the reliability and maintenance cost of a German car.

I, for one, like the thing. I have a soft spot for station wagons though.

Not a replacement for a Wrangler, but for what it is, it's pretty nice. I loved my 2015 WRX 6 speed. Like most have said, I don't fit in with "Subi drivers," but I won't discount a vehicle because of stereotypes either...

This thing needs a 6 speed manual though. Gonna be a hard pass on the CVT.

On a side note, Jalopnik has really changed over the years... I used to read their stuff all the time, I had to stop. Some of the new contributors/articles have been so disappointing....

Agreed about Jalopnik, I also quit reading it. Every other 'article' is about David Tracey's old POS Jeeps.

His last article , " working" on a Cherokee, driveway style, Butt Crack on display, pretty much summed up " No More"

Never will happen. The 2.5L engine in the new Crosstrek Sport makes a huge difference, tho.

I guess it depends on your outlook. I either have the two worst vehicles ever produced, or I have every 16 year old boy's dream garage. The two most fun, most enjoyable vehicles I have ever owned. Well, the STI is my wife's car. Both dumpster fires have had zero problems and the STI is tuned. Results may vary? With all the dogsh** on the roads these days, I rather enjoy the viceral feeling of being unrefined, loud, bouncy. Worst DD's ever, perfect.

Miss my Subaru sometimes. The only real Subaru worth buying! Ha.

Worst looking gen imo. Never fully liked how it looked
