Come on Alex, lighten up a bit.  If you want an Outback go buy one.  If the guy is happy with his Jeep and his Audi(s) give 'em a break.  I like my Jeep and my Audi, too, but please don't bash me too.  Lots o people bought Pacers, some even liked em.  The point is, all AWD vehicles were not built for the same purpose.  I'll never understand it, but my 90 lb golden likes riding in the Jeep more than the Audi.

P.S. please trim your posts.  Some folks actually have to pay for connect time or by the kb.
