I drove one last week and it didn't feel too different from my Forester. I still like it alot though.

Actually, the one I haven't ever finished is any 911 model. I went back after posting that and completed a Cayman R. Crazy to think you can nearly double the price of a car with add-ons. >_>

All the German brands are like that. $60K Cayman...without a $600 CD changer or anything else for that matter.

Really? This is a car forum. Have you heard car nerds talk? We are the worst/most boring kind of nerd.


Hey, did you see the dyno from Nameless, 43 ftlbs at ~4000 RPM?!!!

Yeah, and they haven't even played with the intake cam phasing yet.

I wonder if they'll use a Helmholtz resonator to fix the dip at 3200 though.

Hmmm, I don't know if there would be room for that, let's go look at my engine bay to see if we could figure it out.

Yeah, lets go.

Him I wonder what this does?

Oh, that's the MAF sensor, or manifold absolute pressure sensor.

Why do they call it absolute pressure.

Because that's the pressure above absolute zero, or full vacuum.

I wish we could finally get some info on the cam, lift, duration, phasing adjustment capabilities...


And most people eyes glossed over at dyno. Also, this is a VERY nontechnical conversation for a lot of us.

I like it for what it is. Its simple and practical. Not overwhelmingly big like other SUV's, but that's what its suppose to be. I mention this car to a few of my relatives who want to update from their SUV's to something smaller. Most like the Honda CR-V which is okay in my book (somewhat), but I'll always throw the XV Crosstek into the conversation. I haven't driven this one yet, but from what I remember its suppose to be built off from an Impreza. So it shouldn't be that bad of a drive if I had to guess. Since I've grown to accept what the Impreza look like now, I've had no problem how the XV's design is well.

Then lucky for us, who don't have the BRZ or FRS yet... we must be doing quite well with the ladies then.
