I think the Crosstrek makes
I think the Crosstrek makes the most sense. The Ascent is so much larger than a vehicle I would want to take anyplace challenging that I feel it would be mostly just marketing. A Crosstrek with the full-whammy Wilderness kit could easily be the brand's most off-pavement capable vehicle. Fingers crossed, the next one adds fixed recovery points front and rear and keeps the all-important 3PMSF tires!
