SLegacy99 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 i thought you meant the leggy wagon. otherwise, RS6 or Evo wagon or M5 wagon and can't think of any more at the moment. and to be honest, besides carrying 7 people, what's the use of a SUV in a city!? Transporting furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heightsgtltd Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 SUV FTL hey slegacy99, drove an 07 highlander all week with v6. It was one of the biggest pieces of crap I have ever driven. Interior materials are way below the LGT, engine was gutless, and the AWD system was essentially useless in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The Magnum is done. It probably isn't coming back. The LGT wagon is done...we all know why. The only new wagon that is coming is the G8 wagon. And that will be done too because people here don't want wagons. I am one of those people. I still think wagons are awesome, just doesn't fit my need/style. I would definitely get a wagon over an SUV/CUV any day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3.3L is a weak engine for its size. The only thing I like about the interior that car is that there are rear cup holders. Haven't checked out the new one yet. Did this Highlander not have a snow function? The RX always has had that. Switches from AWD to 4WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, switches it to 4WD. Not that I ever needed to use it in our RX300. AWD was just fine. Its amazing the difference between drving an AWD Legacy and the driving an AWD vehicle with ground clearence. Id still rather have the LGT though. Im assuming there was a power option too. That just modifies your shifting. Like overdrive, which I don't get because there already is an overdrive. Knocks about 1 mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 And wouldnt you expect Subaru to have nicer interior materials than Toyota? I have an 05 LGT Wagon and an 08 Highlander with Nav, leather, etc. The Highlander had better interior quality by a wide margin. I'm unimpressed with the LGT's interior quality.

An Example http://www.southislandimports.ca/99cori.jpg 99 Corolla http://www.powerlabs.org/images/interior.jpg 99 Impreza Ignoring the added shift knob, pedals, and electronic gizmos which do you think is nicer?

(note: for those who aren't familiar with this gen. of Impreza, the carbon fiber is factory.) Why are you showing a picture of a Corolla interior when you're talking about the Highlander? Comparing those two, they both look like crap. Also, as far as the new Legacy, it's well styled but the materials aren't that durable. This is an '07 Highlander interior: http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/03/30/024523.1-lg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Why are you comparing a Highlander with a Legacy. I was only comparing two cars in the same class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Why are you comparing a Highlander with a Legacy. I was only comparing two cars in the same class. You made a general statement about Subaru vs. Toyota interiors and you brought the Highlander into the thread. I gave you first hand experience towards that. Besides, there's a lot of overlap on prices between a Legacy/Outback and a new Highlander. If you want two directly comparable vehicles, the interior in the Highlander is better quality than the Tribeca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The Honda Odyssey and TSX Wagons look cool. The TSX sped by before I could grab a pic. I have a pic of the Odyssey from HK, but I haven't uploaded it to Flickr yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserpro2 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 i think the HK (JDM) Odysseys are way cooler than the crap the US people have to get. when i first came out, i nearly thought it was a wagon. hong kong has a small batch of TSX wagons...they're pretty cool.

loserpro2 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 ^that is known as [well, in HK] possibly the 3rd generation Honda Stream. there should be a sporty RSZ version i think..... looks like a mini odyssey from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
