On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I know you all don't like the CR-V's AWD system, but I saw a car like this and was surprised at how good it looked.

Looks are as they say "in the eye of the beholder". The combination above borders on "grand formaggio" to me. A mismatch akin to wearing the wrong shoes with a suit.



^^^ or in this case, bad suit included.

To me it says "I wanted to buy something awesome but all I could afford was this crappy CRV". It looks awful.

I don't think I'd go as far as saying it looks awful, certainly IMO is it doesn't look great.
But having owned a Forester and experience with Subaru's AWD system and having driven my dad's CRV back when he had one, the systems are night and day.   

Seeing that picture makes me think: "all looks, no action"
Looking all offroad doesn't make you a better offroader.

Audi Q3.


seen couple running around in town and it looks really good.
40k loaded sounds fair.

i also think it's a much better execution of SUV-ifying a car vs the X1 and GLA .  granted, i have not driven X1, but i've driven AMG GLA45...  it's basically a hot hatch, lifted an inch higher than a standard car version...

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D
