Subaru has a following though, plus this isn’t all time AWD like the Outback is. We also haven’t seen the next gen Outback which should be due in 2026. I’m betting that if this even ends up being an Outback killer, it’ll only do it for a year.
Not to mention that Toyota’s production and inability to order a car really turned me off when looking for a car this year.
Toyota is having its most profitable year ever. Only brand with hybrids available across the board. Much more stable supply chain than EV. Which was their argument about being hesitant to go all in on EV. Hard to get what you want in the dealer lot. Most test drive whatever non-hybrid model trim the dealer has in stock. Then order the hybrid in desired trim and wait a few months for delivery. They bet against EV and are reaping the rewards now…

Good point. While I love Toyota, the AWD system that Subaru has in its models is far superior than the hybrid AWD systems that Toyota uses.
