       Subaru took the Outback, a wagon that appealed to women, turned it into a boxy macho-style SUV despite the company's own focus groups telling them not to change it, and raised the price by $5000, and now is astonished that sales of it have nosedived: https://www.autoblog.com/news/subaru-ditched-the-wagon-and-outback-sales-dropped-over-40

       @vwestlife I hate what Toyota’s involvement with Subaru is producing.

       @vwestlife Yup. Have and love a 2024 Crosstrek. Might’ve considered an upgrade to an Outback, but that thing is not an Outback. I hear it’s a decent machine.  Should’ve just been the new Forrester.

       @vwestlife I own a 2025 Outback, my 2nd Outback, but can’t stand the look of the new design and will never buy another as long as they keep that type of design.

       @vwestlife Boo! The Outback wagon had long been one of my fantasy rides.

       @vwestlife Sorry, Subaru, but we loathe SUVs here, and won't buy one regardless of size or platform.

       @vwestlife yes all the macho men want a new WRX STI, not an Outback. I wonder how they did not know this.

       @vwestlife Couldn't happen to a nicer company. Subaru's seemingly Detroit-minded choices about turning the Outback into a garden variety macho man SUV deserve derision.

       @vwestlife and as a result of all this, it's now looking too much like a guy's "commercial grade" SUV Hummerish looking thing....what the hell.
