Not sure why we like the Subaru XT, but we do. When you see how it was promoted in its original Japanese promo, there’s a disconnect between appearance and market. Two door coup\u00e9. Dramatic wedgie styling. Four wheel drive. The ability to leg it up a mountain in any conditions. Check all of the above boxes.<\/p>\n

What you have, thinking about it, is a car marketed to a very specific market – a narrow and deep rather than a broad collection of people – a person who not only wants to get out and among the elements but who loves interesting design, driving fast and the aesthetic of the Wedge.<\/p>\n
