Default Re: Hybrids are coming...get your name on the list

I bought the Forester over the Honda CR-V because of the gas economy,
among other things. So, I am interested in economy. At this time, it
gets the same or less mileage than my 94 Pontiac Bonneville. But, I
wanted a wagon and AWD.

I've thought about hi-breds but as my miles pile up on the highway,
question what the economy versus payback would be then. Currently, I
think diesel is the way to go. I might consider a Jetta wagon. I find
the AWD without locking axel is ineffective when the going gets tough.
Why would Subaru put limited slip on the Outback and not the Forester
where such a feature would be expected?

Sorry about changing the topic but hopefully Subaru corporate is
reading and understands some catching up is needed. I'd love a turbo
but will not pay for premium fuel. So, if I can't have a snorting
power wagon, I want fuel economy.
