Anyway was looking at Xd yesterday may pull the trigger but we don't really need 3 cars, may go with compact AWD to kill 2 birds with one stone, getting what seems to be a good deal for a 08 impreza HB (~18K w/premium pack). What do you guys think?
OH and sorry for jacking the thread, just had to get it out of my head cause I'm going back and forth with this thing.

Hi Ted. Look like it's just me and you bro!
This place is slower than molasses on a winter morning

I had an 85 (straight axel) 4runner that was unfortunately stolen or I'd still have it

Loved that truck!
The Imprezza is an unbelieveable car

great looking, roomy, quick, modern and AWD
If you want to cover all your bases though, an AWD is the way to go but remember that you'll loose the ground clearance provided by a true 4WD vehicle such as the 4-runner.
If it were me, I'd get the Imprezza as a DD for all but the worse days and keep the 4-runner for those days where nothing but a snow plow can get through
Oh, and welcome to the site.
