I would not blame you in the least. You have the Viggen to satisfy the fun/sporty/fast itch. The OB just does so much so well and the value from Subaru’s is just amazing in what you get for bang for the buck. Heck, I would be fine with the 2.5.

And, the Outback is StarLorde.
Don't ask. She names everything. The crabapple tree we planted in our backyard is Sebastien. The willows we have in the front yard are will.i.am.willow, grandmama willow and will 'o the wisp.
I'm surprised she hasn't named the furniture or appliances.

I’d only consider it because the 2020 is a different design. My wife said no chance, so it’s not a real possibility.

Getting rid of the Alltrack and replacing with an older, but lower mile Audi A4 with just over half the miles (worth more) actually lowered my 5.5 months of insurance $25. Thought wagons got low rates? I suppose A4's are not crashed.
More surprising, the Tiguan being brand new saved us $11 for the 5 months left of insurance. It replaced the '16 Kia Optima lease, so maybe financing to purchase is cheaper on insurance?
Truth is though, we usually use the other cars when travelling together as a 3-person family.
Yes, it was ugly and slow, but it was pretty reliable for the most part.

I spent too much time recently watching video tests on cars on our shopping list. Including comparisons between many of the key players. And after doing that, made me realize that I really want one of these!
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I drove my SIL’s ‘19 Acura RDX Advance. Very impressive and comfortable interior. Nice driving dynamics, quiet, quick. The heads up display is nice, didn’t feel much difference with the ventilated seats even set on high, great sounding audio. I couldn’t figure out how to change the XM stations other than a back/forward hard button next to the volume knob. Other basic controls were easy to use. I’m sure once I read the owners manual I would be in the know, but why should I do so just listen to the radio? I could easily welcome the RDX into our fleet.

Of interest, the RDX is FWD, and both have virtually identical tires: 235/55/19 101 H Continental Cross Contact LX Sport.

I guess I’ll spill what I have been up to since it doesn’t seem to be amounting to anything anyway. I have been shopping for a Hummer. Not a big surprise since I have considered them before.
It is getting much tougher to find clean, low mileage ones for reasonable money, though. I have attempted to buy a few over the phone, with no luck. Everyone is “standing firm” on their prices, which are $4k-$5k over auction.
I drove an hour on Friday to see one the dealer claimed was immaculate. I’ll admit it looked good on top. It was underneath that was a problem. That truck should not be allowed on the road. One good bump, and the rust holding the body to the frame is going to be less useful than masking tape.
Went for a 50-min trek this morning to see a private party vehicle. It had more miles than I want, at 119k, but it looked remarkably clean in the pics. And it was as promised in person. Very nice looking with nothing too bad to speak of save a minor oil seep at the rear of the engine. The problem, however, arose on the test drive. Long story short, the engine is making noises I am not comfortable with and would not even risk test driving any further than the 2 miles I put on it.
Anyway, if successful, this would be another extra vehicle the wife is permitting. If/when the BMW leaves, I’d be shopping for a sporty car for maybe $12k max, I think. So 2 vehicles, with very different purposes, for under $25k cash is the goal.
