Anyway, I still have the Cougar, although I'm going to sell it (no trade-in value whatsoever). Another reason for the Subaru!

Meanwhile, check out Edmunds' just posted video review of the WRX here:
http://www.edmunds.com/video/roadtests.html
I think you all will enjoy it...sort of Motor Trend TV-ish, Car & Driver TV-ish, and Motorweek-ish all-in-one. :-)

I'm not sure I get the joke.
Thanks,

For sure we'd heard about it long before April 1.

Real close to my new OB. Just received word that one dealer will give me invoice. One week?:)

I'll be going to the show, just not sure when now. Either the first day or the last.
Mark
Patti - was this speculation, or is there something behind this story that is classified? I think you can reveal that much...
-juice
When I first asked about the "wagon" I was told that it was an "I-Club" rumor. Since sending me the information, I went back to the folks with the information.
They are not sure what information the NY Auto Show had, but think maybe it was information from last years show??
Anyway, they are contacting the PR folks in NY and asking for them to correct the error.
No new wagon this year (except the WRX Wagon). Next year???
Patti
Yeah next year they should get a re-badged Axiom as the Grand-Forester! Just take out the 2wd mode of the Axiom and it'll be good to go.
-mike
Bummer, though, I was hoping for a Blitzen wagon.

The way most WRX owners will drive, slippery leather may not be a good idea.

Here in Florida, we have a special seat heater..it is called the Sun

Why 2nd? Because it isn't as "cute looking" as the winning Mini. AutoWeek did say the WRX is full of giggles to drive, just not to look at. And... they haven't even driven the Mini—and it won!
The styling issue of the WRX raises its ugly head again (pun intended).
Bob
Cheers Pat.
I have fun looking at my neighbor's yellow New Beetle, but I'd rather pay a visit to good ol' Hutch for a drive any day.
Chat's starting now...

Oh well, off to work I go. I'll let you know about it next time I can post. I hope you all have a great day! I'm looking forward to a Friday that will be so easy. Plus, it's supposed to be raining - I'm anxious to see the performance on slick roads with some speed.
Patti
Thanks!
Patti
My only complaint with my 2001 Forester is the GAS GUAGE. Considering all the engineering cababilities they must have available ...a better/more linear fuel guage certainly seems achievable. Moreover this appears to be a much talked about complaint on all the forums I follow.
Just my .02
If I were you, I'd quit that stinking job! Sheesh, what next a free lobster lunch, big bonus, you shouldn't have to take that kind of crap from your employer.
I've been waiting patiently for 1k on the odometer so I can do what you're getting paid to do. In case your boss ever reads these posts, I'll do Patti's job for less money!
Look forward to hearing your report.
- hutch
lakepop- What does your gas gauge do? Mine seems to follow a fairly linear path to E.
Patti- You should complain to the labor relations board. There are federal laws designed to prevent those type of "sweat shop" conditions!

It has come to my attention that the Yellow PIO Spoilers are not available? Is this true? Please e-mail me ASAP mike@iace.com cause one of my buddies (you met him in philly) ordered a Yellow w/spoiler and will be royally upset if he doesn't get the spoiler. Thanks in advance for your help.

(1) what is the advantage of digital?
(2)how do I go about posting photos on edmunds and photopoint, we have a service here that will post regular photos om the net but I am not sure about how to make the leap from there to photopoint and edmunds, now if this was an old car instead of things computer related I would have no problem at all it would appear that digital is the way to go but I need it explained in simple terms.
By the way with all you have done to your vehicles I am really surprised that you have not gotten into some brake work before this, there is no great mystery about brakes, to change fluid remove most of it with a turkey baster fill up with fresh fluid, then start at the right rear have someone pump the pedal slowly after opening the bleed nipple until fresh fluid appears have some brake fluid in a jar and a clear tube on the bleed nipple have the end of the tube immersed in the brake fluid, then do the same to the left rear then right front then left front, keep the master cylinder full the whole time you are doing this check it after you have done each wheel.
To just bleed brakes use the same order RR.LR.RF.LF. have someone pump the pedal slowly until hard then hold pedal open the bleed nipple and watch fluid coming through the clear tube hold the pedal down close the nipple and pump the pedal up again repeat this procedure until there are no more air bubbles then move to the rest of the brakes.
It sounds more complicated than it really is, it is quite simple to do when you get the hang of, when you have done it once you will wonder what the big mystery was.
Cheers Pat.
Ps if it an older car clean the rust fron around the bleed nipple with a little wire brush and spray penetrating oil around the bleed nipple a couple of days before you are going to work on them.
Juice, I sent you a 10-lb package of Sun by FedEx..look for it over the weekend...
NEway, lots of folks told her to buy a Honda or a Passat. Here is the result:

Frankly, I find the front of the vehicle the most attractive part, unlike many who've criticized the vehicle's looks. From the "A" pillar back... typical Asian blandness. But certainly NOT ugly.
Bob
I am very happy with my digital camera but the ONLY advantage is convenience. I have a relatively simple, but well-reviewed model (Olympus D360) and it takes outstanding outdoor pictures and fair indoor ones as long as there's plenty of light. It doesn't do well in low-light at all. Anyway, no digital camera has enough zoom to really use outdoors, say at a sporting event. Sony is about the only mfg that has widespread digicams with zoom, but only their very latest model (~$1200, comes with a 3" mini CDR instead of flash ram!) takes pictures worth a damn. IMO what's the point of features if the pictures are mediocre?
But the convenience is very compelling. It is so easy to snap a few quick pictures, delete the ones you hate, and download 'em to your computer and then upload to the internet. Photopoint is simple-- you use a tool on the site to browse your computer for images and upload them.
Anyway, nothing can beat the quality of a competent 35mm with autofocus. Of course you pay through the wazoo, but the pictures are incomparable to any digicam I've ever seen and you can have your Kodak photomat put the content on photoCD for a small price.
I'll continue to use 35mm for serious stuff until an affordable digicam arrives that can mount 35mm lenses. I have too many nikkors laying around not too... ;-)

The negative side is that you need to wait until the spool is full before you can see the photos. There is not have a preview function, but I believe this is becoming available.
I really like the permanency of the electronic photos on the CD.
Daniel
Patti: Your up there with baseball and hockey players. You all get paid to do what I do for fun, and free. Lucky you. Say hello to Jeter for me.
Bob: Agree, I like the front the best by far. The "bigness" of the grill and headlights with the scoop looks cool. The rear end is a little bland. I think different tail lights would make a big difference. I hope you did not get offended by my remarks - it was not directed at you, but, just a general comment.

Please be advised that the 2002MY Impreza Sedan Spoiler (P/N E7210FE500**) is not available for dealer installation at this time. Subaru has determined that a last minute modification to the spoiler has impacted the installation procedure to the point that it is no longer conducive to a quality installation by the dealer. The fact that this spoiler is NOT available through the parts distribution network should be communicated to all Sales, Parts and Service staff in order to avert any mis-representations on the part of SOA's dealer organizations to Subaru customers. The spoiler is available in all colors, on a limited basis, through the port installed vehicle allocation process.
SOA and FHI are currently working toward the approval of a dealer installable kit in order to meet this demand. Availability at this point is looking like mid-summer, however, we are working to improve on this estimate as much as possible.
Patti again - I guess a lot of your friends situation will depend on when he is taking delivery. If it was ordered with it and installed at the port, it should be okay. I'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks!
Anibal
Re your question about how to get a photo onto Edmund's: To get a photo so others can view it you have to first upload it to a server (such as Photopoint) then you can link to it by just pasting the location (URL) of your photo into your message. Embedding a photo directly into your message is a little trickier. However, the first post of the "Subaru Crew: Photo Gallery" has pretty good instructions. Just hollar if you run into any problems.
