Also cutters these days can get through the Subaru B-Pillar design.

I did some more searching. Looks like there are several cutters designed to cut through these things, but not all. Older models will have a problem. Explains why there are so many older cutters out there on govt auction sites.
Some good pictures of the Forrester B-pillar on this one:

I'd hope that standards would catch up with modern construction. That's just how things should progress. I'm happy. Hopefully, I still have a boron steel rod over my noggin. I would love to see a picture of a BRZ pillar sliced open.
