But in both cases it's really the front grill/headlights/bumper that are the most polarizing. In my case I like the VX front, but don't really care for the Juke's.

    Just my $.02.
    Sounds like you have entirely too much time on your hands.

    As we like to say in the Air Force, I have so many PowerPoint flight hours that I can whip up a graphic like that in less than 5 minutes.

    Just go ahead and get a year old, low mile FJ. That way you can out-wheel everyone else in Moab next year!

    thats a very good option... or a 4runner
    and you watch it Jay... i might be giving you a run for your money next year unless you show up with something new on the FJ.

    Not every member of the VX fam goes hardcore wheelin'... therefore, priorities over-rule.

    There is a strange connection to the VX... the headlight/ running light combo of the Juke looks as if the VX has gone through some updates and built on the "horns"

    Even I don't normally like the look of 4-dr vehicles, but the Juke's rear handles are up high in the windows and you don't notice them at first glance.

    Willing to bet if the VX's were still in production, they would look nothing like our existing body styles.... And I'm sure they would get better MPG by now...

    If you don't mind buying used, put a Subaru dealer out with some feelers for a used Forester XT Sport. !@#$ing mean machines with room to boot and stellar AWD capabilities. I was on the hunt for one used a couple years ago and they are out there, in the range of $15k-$24k (hold value well) and well taken care of from what I saw. Ended up getting my STi hatch of course, heh.



    My mom recently picked up a N/A turbo 2010 Forester, very plain and auto, but new for $19k. She had bought it just before our big snows here and it was excellent. No turbo but that thing is still right damned peppy.



    I sound like I am on Subaru's payroll. I just trust the hell out of mine and they have been very reliable to me. And the mod and aftermarket world is ENDLESS on these things.

    All this talk about new cars....pffft! Stick with the old goodies.

    Seriously though, I would have a VERY hard time trying to pick a modern car if I was in the market...

    This is it!

    For around 23k, I have a fully loaded, Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback GTS! Heated black leather seats, auto (CVT w/paddle shifters), Rockford Fosgate sound, power sunroof, and getting around 28mpg to boot! 5yr/60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 5yr/unlimited mile roadside assistance and a 10 yr./100k mile drivetrain/powertrain! Yippy!

    Sweet, get some 31" ATs, and you will be good to go!
