I'd go with the Outback, and not just for the loyalty angle although that does play a part. Numerous bad experiences with my buddies Jetta VR6 led him to a Dodge Ram. They praise the Passat in Consumer Reports, but they always seem to be having minor electrical problems. I'm amazed at the number of new VW's with one tail or brake light out. As for Volvo's, talk about a lousy repair record, and darned expensive! I think part of Sweden's GNP comes from US repair bills!!!! Go Subaru and you'll be fine. I drove the wagon and sedan VDC, and am thinking of getting the sedan as I have a Forester already. The guy at my dealer told me he heard they might put the 3.0 H-6 or Turbo WRX motor in the 04 or 05 Legacy GT, which I think is better looking then the Outback sedan.
