But I'll keep an eye here to see what's going on.

"the new Subaru of Plano facility will present a contemporary image that is very representative of the progressive, advanced technology of Subaru vehicles. The exterior finishes include metallic surfaces, natural slate, and a sleek, all-glass view into the showroom. The curved front wall will provide both architectural interest and express progress. A simple portico will welcome customers into the facility.
The interior architecture will provide high, open spaces with extensive sight lines between areas. A mixture of both private and open spaces will be offered for all customer functions, including sales, service, and waiting. The service technology and vehicle care is proudly displayed from windows within the waiting area.
The materials to be used throughout the interior of the facility include natural slate, cherry hardwood flooring, architectural glazing, granite surfaces, wood veneer furnishings, and leather upholstery, to express richness, authenticity and quality. The interior will also be illuminated with soft, consistent lighting."
Windows to actually show off the service area to waiting customers - I think that's a super idea. It helps communicate a sense of honesty (nothing to hide) and develop trust. Nice to see the techs that are working on your vehicle.
Thank you for your insights.
End of Oct I picked up a 06 Bean wagon, after trading in my 2000 OBW. At the time I decided to go for the extended warranty (6yr/100K/$0 deductible) because I had one on my previous OB and it did come in handy. Plus, my wife and I are slightly paranoid about having the extra protection
If you are unsure, you do have until 3yr/36K to buy it so you can always wait and see.
BTW -what color did you get? Wagon or Sedan? And, of course, congratulations once again!

convertibles really suck when flipping ya know.
Around here used to be when you saw a Crown Vic. or any other full size car it usually was a senior citizen driving it, now it is not unusal to see seniors driving SUVs.
I think the rational is, that as their driving skills erode they are less likely to get hurt in collision if they are driving some behemoth.
Cheers Pat.

Hint - somewhere around Bridgeport, Ct, IIRC.... I paid under $800 for the Gold 6yr/80k/$0 two years ago. While I accept that prices have gone up some, and you are looking at the 100k vs mine at 80k, you are a full $1000 above me.

I would love to, but we are headed South in a few days!

risub: I got a Subaru Gold 7/100 warranty because our last car (Mazda 626) became a money pit in years 5-7. So we hedged our bets, and meanwhile we enjoy roadside assistance, too.
We'll probably sell with a few K miles on the warranty remaining to give the buyer peice of mind, so we hope it'll boost resale values as well.
If you can get a deal anything like fibber's, wow...AAA for 7 years used to cost us $497, by itself!

Let's do our annual run-down of each Crew member's wish list. You can answer Kevin's question in the Blog, but for this thread let's stick to our usual rules - $100,000 to spend, must be available for sale right now, no trades.
What do you want in your driveway?
-juice
But you know me. No one vehicle is enough for me. So besides the WRX, I would like:
• A Tribeca 7-passenger w/Navi & DVD
• A Nissan Titan crew cab 4x4. (no Ridgeline just yet. I want to see how it evolves first)
Bob
That's easy - freshly laid cobblestones.
Something with wheels you insist? The M5 (Miata) looks like fun.

$34161 for a Tribeca Ltd NAV/DVD as family car
$46141 is left for a GS300 AWD w/NAV plus taxes (wife)
Spec B was close but she wants an auto, and a GT Ltd is too cheap! LOL
-juice
9-3 Convertible, $40k (mine)
Tribeca, loaded, $34k (family)
Legacy GT Ltd auto, $26k (wife)
I'd be happy with either option.

-05 GMC Envoy XUV fully loaded out at $40075 (sticker). I always liked the idea of the open back (that's why I like the Baja).
And
-06 Cadillac CTS-V at $52655 sticker (I inherited my Dads love of Caddies)
that will leave me roughly $7500 for gas.
Mark
Hurry up on the XUV, Santa, it'll be discontinued soon.

'06 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Limited V8 = $36k
'06 Subaru Legacy GT sedan 5EAT = $28.5k
'06 Subaru Tribeca 7 passenger w/ NAV and DVD = $35k
-Brian
'06 Dodge MegaCab (can you say 'hemi'?), 40K if I'm lucky
Since my garage is currently full of stuff like bikes, snowblower, tools, doghouse, fill in the blanks) with no change in sight, the balance goes for a garage add-on (higher door, too!) or a pole building out back!
DW gets to keep her Suburban.
Can I get partial credit for selling my current OB & the old PowerWagon, in case of construction cost overruns?
Cheers!

hmm ... maybe I'm a bit ticked that I have to work this week and don't start vacation until Saturday, yet this is the first Xmas I have family from the south to spend it with me here and vacations don't match with my grandsons vacations ... so they are here and I'm still at work ...
so far .. it's like the stupid movies families .... not matching expectations ... MOSTLY due to the one still in college who THINKS she knows it all ...
sounds terrible doesn't it? ... and i really do love having them here ... but working this week really does .. well .. you know the word ...

06 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B = $32,4k
06 Mercedes SLK350 = $52,4k
Wow that already puts me at close to $85k so it's a good thing I already have the FXT for my "utility" vehicle. I think I'll plan a nice long driving vacation with the remaining $$$ :-)

05 or 06 MINI Cooper S
06 Outback (non-turbo)
Option 2

2006 Roush Mustang Stage 2 Convertible at $44k
2006 Land Rover LR3 HSE at $57k
Total of $101k. Rob M.
Frank: true, but I have an issue with paying that much for one single ride, since I like a 3 car fleet. I guess there's also the SLK and SL, but those are 2 seaters.
Good thing my wife wants an automatic, otherwise they may have sold out on Spec Bs just from our list!
Mini Cooper - hmmm, they make that in a convertible too. That might replace the Solara. I'd drive both to determine that. The engine is made in Brazil so I'd be helping my country mates. And probably getting an unreliable car.

Not surprising to me. Everyone here who has listed a truck have also listed more fuel-friendly vehicles, and I'm sure the trucks would not be their first choice as a daily driver.
Also, if you've ever owned a truck, it's hard to get it out of your system, as they are just so "useful." When I used to own one, I can't remember all the times some neighbor wanted to borrow it.

The XUV was discontinued, but dealers still have some 05's available. Matter of fact, go to the GM website, and the XUV lists at $40K+, but their red tag price is $32K+.
That's another reason it's on the Xmas list- get it before it's gone.
Mark
The bike I bought for my wife takes up the whole inside of the car and the racks they make for it go for around $500 - $600. For that price I figured a trailer would be more useful all around.
(I'd post a photo of it, but nothing seems to work for submitting it

Having been there and done that: I would want both!

Mini Cooper S.
And don't laugh, (Reconditioned to new) Morris Minor traveller. I have had a soft spot for one of these for many years.
Cheers Pat.
Then I need a truck. I think I could get a fullsize 4WD for $30k or less, just need a standard cab V8.
