I'm not trying to argue with you Ben, but I find it rather rude of you to give me (or anyone else) a hard time because we quote PUBLISHED weights....so you weighed yours, not everyone has the opportunity to do so, AND the scales used to weigh trucks are notoriously in-accurate….just because the scale said your SVX weighed 400 pounds more than Subaru said it does, doesn’t mean that scale was correct….I mean I know a web site that’ll tell you the sky is purple, do you believe that too? ( I figure since you use that to get your point across, I can too )

Either way it’s all relative, I figure if the charted weights are on the light side, it’s that way across the board, so the XT is way lighter than the SVX, or the WRX NO MATTER HOW you look at it…that was the only point I was trying to make.


Either way, this will be my last post in this thread.
I will watch it, as I find it very cool and interesting, but have no urge to be attacked for my input..

My apologies to the original poster for dragging this out in his thread …but at least it keeps it at the top of the list….
