 My bad! I thought the versa was the world's ugliest sedan/hatchback! I didn't know it was a "Mini-crossover" (whatever that is). I'll have to "Reverse my thinking".  Prosa My point was people with $29k+ to spend on an SUV aren't going to beat a path to Subaru, Outback or not. They need to start with a smaller, lighter, less ambitious SUV, then build a bigger version once acceptance is gained. Just a thought. DrFill

I hear it's getting a "makeover" ASAP! Hopefully, before I'm due a new company car next year!
