Then you don't know what you're missing. Anything with a t belt is too new to be old school in my book. Any of them get close to 40mpg? FWD subies will be back soon enough. When you're most effiecent cars only get 28mpg highway and gas is $3 a gallon you're going to loose more sales then the money you save with a single platform.

I actually like your mindset as it makes for cheap or free Subies for me!

And 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 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.
