Thanks. Ann Arbor Subaru is where I drove the burgandy SVX yesterday. I was not impressed with the look of that place in general- a mostly dirt lot with a big metal-shed style building doesn't seem right for a new car dealer!

As I understand it, they're the largest Subaru dealer in Michigan. I'll believe that, since Subaru isn't...you know...Ford. And this is Michigan, after all.

Short, funny story. My wife is a teacher, and before her first school year in a new district (Wayne-Westland, also home to the big Ford truck plant) there was an orientation. The administration wanted to impress upon the teachers a sense of diversity amongst even the staff. So, during a lecture, the person speaking said, 'everybody stand up.'

Of course, they all stood.

'Now, everybody who owns an American car sit down and everybody who owns a foreign car stay standing.'

My wife didn't see it coming - she was one of four or five standing.

Anyway, I have mixed feelings about A2 Subaru. Their service department is pretty good. Their parts department has terrible service and insane prices. I have little to no experience with their sales staff. But, if you like, I will be happy to go take a look at that SVX this weekend and tell you what I think about it.
