I still own an 89 wagon that is festering in my dad's barn (not exactly old school though) Between the wife and I we've gone through many subies dating back to 86. Each one of them 4x4 or awd. The number of them I've been a part of more than doubles when you add in my brother's and father's subarus.

To me, growing up in my time, a subaru was a wagon that could rip through the mud and snow just as good if not better than my buddies pickup trucks but was still fun to drive on pavement. And I'll be damned if I ever own one without a rear driveshaft. I agree the old school 360's and FF1's are cool and have merit, they just aren't my idea of what made subaru great. I understand subaru started as FWD econoboxes and what they made were pretty cool, but in my eyes they didn't make it until they started making 4x4's.
