Too bad Subaru didn't follow the article's advice, and turned the Legacy from a nice looking niche car into an ugly, mainstream AWD Camry.

 

Completely agree!! :whore:

 

and they dont look like they are listening to,

 

“The worst thing that could happen to them is they have the aspirations of becoming a big car company,” Hossack said. “They could increase their sales if they just introduced a low-cost, low-priced, non-all-wheel-drive version. Don’t do it. Then you just become just like the Hondas and Toyotas and Nissans of the world. Be a niche player.”

 

next few years awd will be a option on the legacy :mad:

Baja was not a pickup, in the sense that a Nissan Frontier is, let alone an F150 or Silverado. it was an open bed Outback.

 

Tribeca is not really a minivan, as a FWD, flat-floor double-sliding-doors van kind of van. It is a car-based CUV... much like every other CUV is.

 

But that is a valid point.... and it makes one wonder what Hossack meant when he discussed "sticking to their knitting..."

 

 

BTW, off topic, I wonder if Jim Hossack is related to Norman Hossack, the inventor of the SLA front motorcycle suspension, which ostensibly became BMW's Duolever front suspension.
