I'm glad they showed what they did, but give us something original, guys! -juice |

Just got back from the Philly car show. Mod Bob and a few other Edmunds guys were there. Also long-missing Dave M was also there. A few points of interest: • I had heard (at the Washington car show) that Subie design chief Zapatineas is gone. That was confirmed today by another Subie rep. • There was an Outback SE (2.5 w/NAVI) in Diamond Gray Metallic. The color is GORGEOUS! It's a dark metallic charcoal gray—and rumor has it that the '07 Spec B will also be this color. Subaru should make it available on every model they sell. • There were also some tuner Subies on display. These vehicles were also at NAIAS, or so I was told. Many had some input from Subaru, as there was a "Subaru Project Car" label attached to them. One of which was a Tribeca. This black Tribeca also had an all black grille and "smoked" headlights—and looked great. I bet it's what the '07 'Beca will have. _____________ Other stuff of interest: • I was able to sit in the Honda Fit Sport, as it was open for inspection. Subaru needs a 1500cc car like this here in America. The one on display was an automatic with paddle shifters. I think it has a 5-speed automatic, but am not certain. • The new '07 Expedition (not the LWB EL model) was on display. It was all black, including the grille, and also looked great. • The Ford Edge was there and it looked good too. • Sat in the back of a new Durango, and of all the mainstream midsize SUVs, I think it has the most comfortable 3rd-row seat that I have sat in. Average-sized adults can actually sit back there in reasonable comfort. It will be interesting to see the Chrysler version (Aspen) in the same showroom as the Jeep Commander. The Aspen (like the Durango) has a decent rear seat, and the Commander has a miserable rear seat. Bob |

I guess Jeep has the more macho image and will appeal more to males, while the Chrysler will probably be a softer, more feminine version of the Durango. 3rd rows are a funny thing, I think they're wanted a lot, but used seldom. I have two friends who have never used the 3rd row a single time. Ironcally, I'd like a 3rd row in my next ride! -juice |

Anyone got a photo of that, or seen one? How'd it look? -juice |

They just classified the Legacy to race with NASA so it will be getting caged this spring! Looking at a slightly used GTO as my daily driver, since the subies just aren't cutting it lately, nothing sparks me to say "yeah I gotta have it" I wanted the B911s from a few years back but nothing has shown up yet nor in the near future in the subie line, shame  -mike |

Good luck racing the Legacy... GTOs depreciate a bit so you can probably find one for $20-23k already, maybe less with some miles on it. -juice |

I'm curious as to whether anyone in the NJ/PA/DE area has received an invitation from SoA to attend this year's Philadelphia Flower Show. My wife and I attended as SoA's guests for the last several years and enjoyed it greatly. We haven't received an invitation this year and were wondering whether SoA has discontinued this practice or whether it's just someone else's turn. Ed
