Jon and I checked out the Benign Chewbacca at Ohana Subaru today....

That third row is ridiculous. It's for lowercase humans only. However, the actuated cupholder covers are very pimp, as well as the AC controls. Other than that, it felt like a minivan with more cramped seating than a Forester. I must now drive it to see if it makes up for its other shortcomings.

Oddly, '04 and '05 FXTs have separate APs. Me wonders why.

that was my comments months ago.. when i sat in the one at the car show. i mean come on ... i'm 5'7 and i had a backbreaking time getting in.. i was sitting for 5 minutes(or less) and my knees were gettiong sore....

the designers were seriously smoking crack thinking that this U.S. exclusive vehicle would be in the "right market" . . .. . which market is that? the midget market.....

<gripes over> yeah i know i gotta overcome these objections when i get back in my suby uniform...

hey... that was great article anyway.
