Wouldn’t it depend on what the doors were made of? Carbon fiber over aluminum 4 doors vs steel 2 door for instance. We are painting with a broad brush.

So the marketers are happy that I call it a SUV even though I'd rather NOT buy their vehicle?
In my mind it's the aspect ratio of the cargo area that makes the difference.
The test drive of the Outback, to me, didn't reveal a lot of difference between the Mazda and the Subaru, in terms of ride height and visibility.

Unless you mean the V90 CC, which is a legit big wagon.

When I traded the Leaf, they were up-front that was no sales tax credit for the trade since it was leased. I was aware of that and did notice a credit had been applied to the city sales tax (but not the other taxes). I didn't say anything, since I figured it was all done by their system.
But it was rejected by the DMV for title processing due to the tax collection error, and the finance manager had to call me and give me the unfortunate news that I owed another $851 in taxes. That didn't surprise me in the least, so I think he was pleased at my reaction and prompt payment.
Makes me wonder though...I have definitely received the sales tax credit for a trade that was leased in the past...most recently with the V90 we traded last year. It must be the dealership is processing the trade in a different manner and hopes to not get audited?

It’s a lease. Go with the standard windshield.
Volvo replacement is $1100. I went through insurance but only have a $50 deductible for glass. They are coming tomorrow to do it.
Just to be sure the $700 includes the calibration? That was almost $400 of the $1100 on the quote

I just assumed it had safety systems like most new cars.

Well, @28firefighter , it depends on how lucky you feel. A rock cracked the first windshield in a couple of months and you are paying out of pocket. If it happens again it will be another $700 OOP. An extra $300 seems like cheap insurance to me…
FWIW, I did not get advanced safety package on mine (adaptive cruise, etc.) and means I have no calibration.
I hope that works out. That would be great

And, yes, they want everyone to call it an SUV.

Use Sube. Outback is a wagon. Cargo area is long but relatively low. Forester is a CUV. sorter but taller cargo area.

Just recently started offering it on Jeep wranglers. It caused a delay if you ordered it with gorilla glass.
I believe it is a protective layer over the regular glass just like phones - that was my take looking at the Corning gorilla glass website

One nuance -I believe there is a layer under the front glass - part of the acoustic interlayer - where the gorilla glass liner goes. Supposedly stops chips from turning into cracks. Can't imagine why they'd be concerned with that...
Since it is near vertical and seems to attract stones and rocks perhaps
Hold on folks, if this is a profit center for Jeep the other manufacturers are sure to follow.
That’s not an old person talking…that’s an experienced person talking. GEEZE.

Gorilla glass is only $99 more from factory
Jeep wranglers seem worse with the near vertical windshields vs an angled windshield causing chips and cracks

Outback reduced length slightly with the 2010 redesign, but grew substantially taller.

I assume glass is thinner now for weight savings???
My dad when to a local glass shop and they made one for about a third of the price of the auto glass place.
I had previously mentioned the Jeep’s lack of hybrid feel and recapture ability. Turns out there is a button for that. Acts more like an electric car with the one-pedal driving.

Didn't cost us a dime as the work was done in their clinic and I was practice for him. He was/is extremely intelligent so knew I'd be in great hands! Wasn't a good couple of weeks and I lost a good 10 pounds but by week two, was feeling well enough to go back to work. Soft foods only for almost a month though.

@28firefighter - this link shows the gorilla glass as having a two year warranty

Do you know of any car with steel front doors and carbon fiber or aluminum rear doors? If anything it would be the other way around; you'd want the front doors to be lighter.
All 4 doors carbon fiber over aluminum. Why mix and match? The total weight of those 4 doors vs the total weight of a different car with 2 steel doors
No one said it had to be a production car…
If 4 aluminum doors are lighter than 4 steel doors, it stands that 2 doors made of aluminum (apples to apples) will still be lighter than 4 doors of aluminum.
This reminds me of the person that said driving faster doesn't get you from A to B faster because of bathroom breaks and eating breaks on road trips. Why the person driving the speed limit gets to eat less and go to the bathroom less I'll never understand.
Yes I’m comparing apples and oranges. I don’t recall it being stated that it had to be apples to apples.
What do breaks have to do with doors? Apples and pears
