Apparently Car and Driver thinks Subaru drivers are hippies...
Some quotes from the March 2005 issue's preview of the B9 Tribeca:

Yeah, this looks like something a hippie would drive:

I live next to an ex-hippie who drives a Honda Insight, he says my car is the polar opposite of his ( loud, bad on gas, fast) and that it will help kill off the Earth that much quicker. I laugh and tell him that it must suck that his Eco-car is getting offset by my gas guzzling WRX

I kind fell out of listening to the Dead about six years ago. Sounds like an article built with a stereotype the author just decided to repeat over and over.

I've always kind of thought it strange how Subaru being a niche company has managed to combine two fairly different buyer groups with their products that use a lot of shared parts. Like harley also building cheeky motorscooters or something.

I'd peg a Prius to be much more of a hippy car than a B9 or any Subaru for that matter. Or the Element, it's like the second coming of the Microbus for god sake. There are plenty of cars that are more "hippy" or "alternative" than a Subaru is.

Admit it people....WRX and STi are not for everyone. Thank goodness for that. Overall, I thought the article was good promoting the Outback (or Legacy, really, which we all seem to like. ). Stop the flaming.
edit: I just think he needs to dump all his "old friends" who sound like the real morons with their stereotypes. edit:edit: I thought the C&D article was a little over the top, too. I guess not enough advertising placed in the C&D by Subaru recently . If there was a four-page ad of the B9 in there, you'd hear more of "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" |

The WRX and STI are for too many people as it is; I miss my RS...
But I guess it's all good for Subaru, so I'll quit complaining. |
