another reason why i only check for how the car fits me during the test drives and to verify dat everything works.

it takes me at least 3-4months to really understand the car so i dont really fuss over the test drive unless it's so bad i cant stand it.

yah, cause i remember reading a month or so ago subaru stopped making the 16's and were starting up the 17's. which means i would assume they started planning their production in april aka start of new fiscal year and would begin ramping again pretty soon.

considering there is no visual changes, only background improvements, i dont foresee subaru taking till october to deliver.

Looks good. What type of material are you going to wrap around the wood.

18 weeks is like 10yrs. unless it an exotic or super special trim, im not going to wait 18 weeks for a car.
