>> You said you buy exciting cars, and that's quicker than what you spent your money on.
 
I did not say quickness alone is enough for a car to be exciting. Exciting car is usually a balanced package. Sorry, but none of Subarus could get even close to the ML350 in terms of excitement.

I like the ML, but you and I have very differing ideas of what exciting is.
 
A balanced package will have acceleration, grip, braking, and handling, not just a slalom.

>> Both Outlander and Caliber/Compass are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner.
 
Could you provide a link?
.
>> The Mitsu turbo is so-so
 
Bad enough to be bought by Subaru

Link was provided above, and look who's talking.
 
You say things like "I called my Subaru dealer" and rarely provide links. Where's that dealer's site with an inventory?
 
Again, Mitsu should put a turbo on the Outlander, then maybe it would deserve the "GT" nomenclature.

Slalom is a combination of handling and quickness. Outlander passes cars in a busy traffic with great confidence and ease: fun to drive.
 
Does these add excitement for you: dated tranny, cheap interior, cheap audio, lack of modern tech, borrowed styling?
 
For me a balanced package is more then you've mentioned.

No, that link does not have any info that "Both Outlander and Caliber/Compass are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner", so it appears to be just your specuation.
 
This is a link to my local Subaru dealer:

Remember you said the iPod interface was not a factory option?
 
Use your own link, the XT priced at $30,116 indeed has the iPod interface.

I don't check this group for a few days and WWIII has broken out in the mean time !!! (19 new messages)
 
Reminds me of a Star Trek episode "Let this be your last battlefield" where Bele and Lokai who are the last survivors of a race war (both 1/2 black and 1/2 white, but the mirror image of each other) are still keeping up the battle after everyone else is dead on their planets -fighting over who is more superior.

I think you two can agree to disagree.
 
Now if this much energy went into solving the country's problems we'd have it beat!!!

A little off topic, but an enlightening episode for those who may have not seen it:
