You do sound and ARE elitist when you exclude other subies from your events. Not a problem, there are plenty of groups that are not elitist like this one. Subies aren't exactly growing on trees so when you have a niche brand you bond with others of the brand, your high and mighty SVX is not much different than other subies.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. Apparently, my point was not made. That's fine. I can't help it if SCOA is essentially inop. Perhaps you should start a new version. Subies pretty much grow on trees around here. There's an Outback or a Forester around every corner, and, this hasn't been a popular sales area for Subaru in years past. I even followed an RHD Legacy wagon into town the other day. I rarely see an SVX, unless I meet Steve Wasion for lunch. Random sightings have been 3 in the past four years.

I'll echo Jeff's disdain for the "not much different" remark, adding to it that the car was mostly hand assembled in its own dedicated plant . . . shares its platform with nothing else . . . was engineered from the ground up . . . I could go on -- Oh, and it isn't made any more. No, that's not elitist, just different.

Again, I have nothing against Subarus as a whole and I have nothing against all-Subaru events. But if you're having a Gynecologists convention, Thoracic Surgeons and Neurosurgeons really don't belong there, just cuz they're Doctors, and I don't think they should think the Gyno's are elitist because they didn't invite them.
