Good stuff, thanks everyone. That is pretty amazing to have a subaru under 2k rpms at those speeds. Right now I'm at 3000rpm at around 63mph...

I don't plan on buying a new car anytime soon, so I don't think I will test drive either one, I just enjoy looking at future technologies.

RobertS, I totally agree with you, a smaller car would be better, but we pack it full of camping stuff and go to the mountains too often to get by with a smaller fwd car, and my wife and I have decided to only own one car. I have read of a few people getting almost 40mpg in their outback though (on a full tank even), so maybe by the time I can afford a new one I could push it to 45mpg with some mods.
