I mentioned recently about an email campaign to get us out of the 2015 Outback and into a newer one.
The phone call simply ratcheted up the pressure.
Turns out the 2018 Outback has CarPlay (plus!) and a slightly larger infotainment screen (8" vs. 7" currently). Redesigned front and rear end treatment.
Would have all the same features - Eyesight, etc.
But, restarting the payment clock - even with the same or slightly lower payment (they say) - is likely a non-starter with the spouse. And, I'm kinda looking forward to having this one paid off - low miles and a strong trade in value both work in our favor.

As noted, she likes to be a bit different in her choice of vehicle - Pacer wagon, PT Cruiser - and the GLC just didn't fit the bill. She prefers stuff like a 3-series wagon, etc. The Polestar fits perfectly.
Once they get an idea in their head, there's no stopping them. The only saving grace this time around was that the car they wanted was local, not half a continent away.

And, it would be a completely lateral move - same color, trim level, etc. The only differences would be those that I mentioned - CarPlay, bigger screen, redesigned front and rear trim. Nothing special.

Time to update your signature line .... I'm surprised you haven't built some sort of macro to do it with a finger swipe or some keyboard shortcut.

Nice car - I've already suggested that both this and the Type R be shown at next month's Cars & Coffee

Apparently, VAG, despite having all their test vehicles here in Fairbanks, does not do adequate snow testing with these cars. Our heavy snowfall yesterday (and Sunday) has taken its toll on the car. This morning, the wheel sensor system started wigging out. My guess (hope?) is that it is due to snow/ice buildup in the wheel wells, but maybe it is just mad at me for fighting the stability system all the time.
The good news is that I finally beat that system, and now I have full control over the vehicle's wheel spin, vectoring, and yaw. So, yeehaw! It is much more fun to drive.
The bad news is that the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree, and it likes to beep at me to remind me that the TMPS, stability control, and ABS systems are disabled. Whoops.
It turned on and off a few times over the last two days, so I shall see. If it persists, perhaps I can have it addressed when I take it in for the emissions rebuild in a few weeks.
Of course, I could avoid all the fuss with this if I just breld it.

One of uncles traded his 90 Town Car for that generation Fleetwood, but I remember him quickly changing back to a Town Car right before the (much unloved) 98 redesign.

Michael, I actually like the GLC a lot. I showed the pictures to my wife, and she easily picked that one. Though probably had more to do with the color. She does not do that kind of bright blue.

I did get a lot of seat time in the wagon this evening, and it is pretty awesome. At first blush, it seems on par performance-wise with my previous S4 and 335. Transmission, despite "only" being 6 speeds, shifts smoothly and in a sporty manner.
And despite being an aging design, it has all the tech features we'd want, and then some - BLIS, parking aids, adaptive cruise, etc.
As @michaell pointed out, this fits my wife's style much better. First, it's a wagon, which is a good start. Then add the exclusive color and unique performance (for a wagon), combined with the "smart" Volvo brand, and I hope we have a winner.

I love the choice and definitely understand the desire to be a little unique. That’s one of the reasons I was always attracted to Saab’s. Not going to see yourself at every stoplight, at least in my part of the country try same with Volvo’s and especially a Polestar!
