My problem with subarus (several friends and relatives own Foresters, Crosstreks and Outbacks and i have driven a few) is that I just can't stand the CVTs. And less power than most comparable vehicles, and they just look so bland... well, MOST of them.
They just don't excite me much to look at OR drive. AND they're EVERYWHERE.... I like SOME exclusivity with my cars... although it's not a deal breaker and i know that the cherokee TH is not that "exclusive"...
(Can't speak for the Outback Onyx, as I haven't driven one, but still CVT ...)
It really is true: not many that check enough boxes except the B/S and the Cherokee TH... with my situation of making next car purchase only in 2022, and not before that, I guess i have the luxury of waiting to order the 2022 B/S of my choice (BL+BL unless 2022 model year adds other trim options).
Bit off topic:
Has anyone wondered about or even considered the Volvo V60 Cross Country edition? I know it's not an SUV and is in a different segment... more luxury oriented than off road.... but their Euro delivery option is very tempting...
