GM Stay Away

As I understand it, the main problem with adapting the Subaru AWD system to GM products was the GM drive train and NOT the Subaru system. You are talking about trying to convert an AWD primarily designed for an inline mounted engine to a traverse mounted engine. Results would have been better if MOPAR had a share in Subaru instead of GM.

Like others--if GM contaminates Subaru, I will never own another.

Also as to the laudatory comments about the quality of Audi the SVX I think there should be a reality check. I agree if you compare a current Audi to an SVX that the comments are accurate. If you compare the Audi of the SVX era--it is a total different story.
