It is what it is. My opinion doesn't change that. Move on, already.

I would do it! It should be a really good price since it's a leftover.

Not really a small SUV, but Subie previewed their new 2018 seven seater: http://www.outsideonline.com/2138276/your-familys-next-subaru
It's actually much bigger, like ChevyTahoe size.

1/2" longer than a Tahoe. Much of the styling will be toned down/removed entirely for production (it's still a Subaru...) but for the show they jazzed it up with blacked out glass and blue trim lights.

Let's not kid ourselves, VTK, that's what was going on.

This tread has been pretty funny to read! I think it has hijacked a dozen ways to Sunday. The good thing - at least new threads were not started for each topic change.

THIS.
The "power" aspect of professional car reviews I take with a grain of sale. Sorry, but I dont think most people intend to take the family minivan onto the track at Daytona International or Watkins Glen. Some of them read ridiculously with regard to that metric.
That thing looks ugly as hell, but as a heavy SUV lover I applaud Subaru's getting into the large size SUV game.

Picked up my winter tires on Saturday at the Tire Rack warehouse in Delaware, which is about a 5-iron over the Jersey border.
Picking them up saved me $125 ($100 really after factoring in cost of gasoline), and the 3 Tire Rack employees I met couldnt have been any friendlier. Entire process took maybe 5 minutes, if that. Highly recommend it if you live in PA or NJ.
Even got to do some tax-free Christmas shopping at the Christiana Mall & outlets afterwards.

I believe they also have a warehouse in CT near Hartford if you live in that area.
Unfortunately I'm pretty much exactly in the middle of the DE and CT Tire Rack warehouses. 120 miles to DE or 130 to CT. Would be a nice option if it wasn't a 2 hour drive.

Yeah, but you could always justify the trip up to CT, and just continue on and do a little early season skiing!

It was about a 2 hour drive for me, but I didn't mind because we needed to do a ton of Christmas shopping and we love that big Christiana Mall and all the box stores that surround it all being in one compact place. It was a very productive day, and the Christmas shopping is near done (and tax free to boot).
I didn't realize picking up at the Tire Rack warehouses was an option. The CT warehouse is unfortunately a two hour drive. Picking up at the warehouse would presumably mean that I'd have to pay tax? That would quickly erode any savings and make it not worth the trip

Well if you continue north then you could ski as well.

I spend quite a bit of time looking for deals on tires for my 3 vehicles as well as friends/family who ask me for help.
I've almost never found TireRack to be the best value out there to be honest. I frequent their site for the research/reviews they have but have never found the pricing to be competitive.
Sometimes even picking up (not a realistic option for me anyways) doesn't make them less $
DiscountTireDirect.com and Tirebuyer.com are my go-to's these days. Treaddepot.com is also solid.

Discount tire matched the Simple Tire price of $130 so I could use the rebates from daughter's snow tire and wheel package.
