#22 of 617 frameless windows by nippononly Sep 22, 2002 (10:12 pm)
are usually quieter that framed ones, because the wind gets into the frames and then has to travel around them, generating additional resistance.

With frameless windows you have only one joint to seal (glass to rubber) that could potentially leak. With door frames you have more (glass to door, door to A-pillar).   Plus, look closely at a newer Subie and you'll see they are double sealed. If water manages to get past the first seal, there is a channel for water to drain out, and another seal.   It can take the pressure of a 1300 psi pressure washer and not leak, so I'm sure it's more than adequate for any rain.   -juice   PS They work great on the M3 and Porsche 911 turbo!
#24 of 617 OutBack and Rav-4 drivers needed by pjreporter Nov 12, 2002 (2:56 pm)
... for a major business daily. I am the reporter for a fun auto feature and am seeking drivers of both the Subaru Outback and the Toyota RAV-4 [hybrid electric model]. If you drive such a car, please email me at lanetefyahoo.com and include your daytime telephone number so I can call you to talk about your experiences with the vehicle
#25 of 617 Hmmm? by rsholland Nov 12, 2002 (5:48 pm)
Why the Outback, and not the Forester? The Forester is a more direct competitor to the Rav4 than is the Outback.   Bob
#26 of 617 I love it by nippononly Nov 24, 2002 (1:36 pm)
when they call the RAV4-EV a "hybrid car". What exactly is hybrid? it is an all-electric vehicle...
#27 of 617 by ateixeira Nov 25, 2002 (11:04 am)
Maybe they meant it's a car-truck hybrid, not referring to the powertrain at all?   -juice

have been asking me if my Matrix is a hybrid...everyone thinks it is...I think the word they were actually looking for was "crossover"...that is probably what is going on here too, you are right...
#29 of 617 Crossover v. hybrid by suvshopper4 Nov 29, 2002 (10:20 am)
Problem is, what are now called "crossover vehicles" often used to be called "hybrids", before the gas-electric vehicles were introduced. Some people (non car nuts) still use the old designation.

So we'll have to call a gas/electric Murando, say, a hybrid cross? Sounds like something grown in the cornfields around here, and if it burns ethanol, I guess that's even more appropriate.   Steve, Host
