I dont know too many WRX owners, but they seem to popular among the boy racer 20's set and must be very fun to drive, but I would feel like I'm trying to be 10 years younger than I am owning one. The Mini just oozes more class, like a nice tailored suit compared to off the rack from Kohls.

I know of many people who have owned misc other Subies (including me) and the Lesbian joke is a very common one here in the Bay Area at least.

Here's a quote from the LA Times.
"“Subaru has been the most prominent company to embrace the gay market. As long ago as 2000, the automaker created advertising campaigns around Martina Navratilova, the gay tennis star, and also used a sales slogan that was a subtle gay-rights message: “It’s not a choice. It’s the way we’re built.” Little wonder that many lesbians refer to their Outbacks as ‘Lesbarus.’”

Ironically, all my female friends/coworkers that have Porsches actually drive 911's or Panameras, and none have a Boxster. I've got the cheapest car in the parking lot at work, but probably the lowest car payments and the biggest house.
To each their own, I guess, but the big, stupid speedometer plate (too big to be a gauge) in the middle of the dashboard, the rediculous changing "mood lighting" of the interior and the charicature styling of a real mini just scream "trendy" to me. Yes, I've driven both the Cooper S and the Clubman and they are fun to drive but not as much fun as my previous recommendation is and without all the "style for dummys". IMO, of course, these are cars that are made to fit the trends of today, like a pair of baggy jeans or a giant cup of latte.

Sadly, the copy car's concept isn't even original. BMW saw that VW was doing OK with the Beetle and decided to copy the concept of a copy car.

None of that says class to me.

Get what you like, Johnny, but don't expect me to be excited to sit in the ejector seat if you get a Mini.

Out in my neck of the woods, Subaru's are often refer to as LAV's - Lesbian Assault Vehicles !

My DD is a Mazda B4000 (basically a re-badged Ford Ranger), and I have found it to be a very practical companion to the Boxster. It's a supercab so I can carry extra passengers in a pinch, it's 4WD for those nasty snow days, and having a vehicle with a box is extremely useful, especially when owning a car like the Boxster which cannot carry anything large. At the same time it is small enough to be maneuver-able and park-able in tight spots. I really wouldn't want to be without a truck of some sort.

Can't believe you're still considering the Clubman JD. You ought to mull over a more natural form of transportation, all wheel drive and better looking too.............

I'd get it, although I'm a bit partial to convertibles.
Looks like a fun car.

I've been seeing quite a few of those 1 series Bimmers also, they look quite sharp for a small car.

Add a couple of packages to the BMW 1 series crossover, and your nigh on to 40k real quick. Not worth it IMO.

It's actually encrypted Russian they're speaking. Somewhere in all of that - there's a
"launch code".
