For the 2 billionth time, yes. I'm just trying to shine some daylight into this horribly sheltered world.

Sounds to me like you're the one who needs to figure some things out. Subaru's lifetime and experience is a fraction of what GM holds. To put it in perspective, take the lumina you talk about being so bad. There are more satisfied LUMINA owners in this world then there are SUBARU owners (happy or not). To be able to say that a company's less stellar model attracts and holds more loyals then another company's entire line means that we're not even in the same ballpark here.

Ahh yes, the inevitable excuses.

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.

There's another one.
Spoiler - The Grand Prix G8 and Bonneville GXP concept both used longitudinal mount smallblock V8's.

That's fine. I'm not trying to say your wrong for liking subaru, just that we're all on the same planet here.
