The Crosstrek is a great
The Crosstrek is a great little all-weather commuter, and the aesthetics are WAY more pleasing to me than those of the Outback or Forester hatches, but it needs a bit more "fun factor" built into it. Subaru screwed up by not offering the 2.5L with the manual, and they could really clean house by offering a 2.4T/6spd WRX or STI version. Adjustable coilovers to lift/lower could make a car like that versatile enough for offroad or rally, then commuting during the week.
