RE: Subaru Flu, Herding Cats, and Spectacular Sunsets

in #story20 days ago

That Crosstrek looks like it has a really similar footprint to our Buick Envision. I really like our Buick. Not quite as much as our old Lacrosse, but it is a good vehicle and seems to be quite capable. I have some projects at work that I am managing right now and I know what you mean about it feeling like herding cats working with contractors and vendors.

Sort:  

It's funny how many vehicles across all makes and models have the same general form factor now. The small SUV/crossover seems to be the vehicle of choice in America. It's surprising when you start paying attention in parking lots how similar every new vehicle looks. I really like the Buick brand, especially the newer ones. The communication aspect has been the most difficult for me to manage with the contractors so far. There is lots of room for improvement.

Our neighbor has one of those new three cylinder Buicks that look more like a car than an SUV. It's actually impressive how well equipped you can get them. I think the top end package still puts it right around $30,000. Our brother in law has one of the new Chevy Trax and it was a lot of fun to drive when I had to move it from one city to another for him.

I had no idea they made a three cylinder! Suzuki and GEO had a few 3C's in the 1990's. It makes sense for an SUV that small. I've seen the smaller Buicks and the Trax. Ford makes a similar SUV as well, the Ford is the least attractive of the three for me. The smaller cars are more fun to drive. I'm preferring the CrossTrek over the Forester.

Yeah, it's a three cylinder with turbo. My wife's is a four cylinder with turbo. It's nice to be able to zip around in that compared to my 2500!
