The Subie is the "L" trim variant and is all-wheel drive, so there's a little badge on the back that reads "L-AWD".
I want them to come out with a hybrid variant so I can buy an "L-AWD-e" badge.
Thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

I see what you did there
I've always thought that the Toyota Highlander logo needed a sword...
There's an older gentleman around here that drives a Mercury Mariner.
He's pried the R off though.
And Right above it now has an EGA.
Seems the right age for a Korea vet but I haven't managed to catch him to ask yet.

I thought you were going L-AWD-og
Nice to read that you at least are much improved.
Be honest Tam, how big of a consideration was it in the buying decision that the badge on the car made you think of a lady in a southern-gentry type accent saying "Lawd", as in "Lawd, you are skin and bones missy. You gonna waste away if you keep eatin like that!"
Enough intellectuals purchase Subaru that I'm sure somewhere is a sticker that says "Summa cum " that fits in front of "L-AWD".
Of course, that was a lot funnier when it was in my head.
Too bad, no give-backs!

You'd fit right in down here in Bama.
So I'ma figure that when they make a zero-emissions ultra-green machine, it'll be the
O L-AWDe.
Sorry Miss Scarlett, but I dazzn't know nuthin, 'bout birthin' no hybrids.
And out of a healthy respect for the velocity of thrown fruit, we will not discuss the nomenclature when one of them impacts one of the local fauna of the Bambi species.
Apparently, I'm the only one bewildered at how long Toyota has kept the "Toyota Racing Development" moniker without realizing what TRD sounds like when pronounced as a word.
-Drifter
A "church" started up in a warehouse not far from my home. The "Congregation of the Great Conception" CGC (or something simular). They put a bunch of those cheap printed signs about that said merely "CGC" in big letters. That lasted until someone finally figured out that when turned sideways, it looked like a stylized pic of a dude wanking.
I don't see any signs anymore, so they are probably gone now. I never bothered to actually drive in to see which warehouse they were in or anything so I don't know. Besides, warehouses generally have a serious lack of lightning protection for ME to go near a CHURCH.

On the TRD Toyota thing, when I lived in la belle province, a work colleague owned an MR2 modified with all sorts of TRD stuff.
When you say out the letters of MR2 in French, it sounds like the epithet that Captain Picard was known for.
Still doesn't beat Mitsubishi, when I moved to the UK their two top selling models were the Colt and the Starion.
Yes, and if you spell it backwards it says
U-R-A-BUS.
And of course my first thought went directly to:

It's funny I keep hearing about how Subaru's are especially liked by -insert population subgroup here - (gays, greenies, intellectuals, etc...)
Yet somehow all the people I know who drive them are not particularly identifiable by any of those subgroups. Just people who wanted a medium sized station wagon that was reliable, and liked AWD.
And _universally_ they dislike the the latest models, which I find amusing.
It could be worse. You could be driving a KIA (Killed In Action).
Ain't nobody got time for that
As I wrote in comments to previous posts here, I think the older Subies are right cool, on aesthetic and gearhead grounds, both.
OT, for Tam. Why are you so seemingly annoyed at me, Ma'am? IIRC, I don't think I've ever expressed any hostility at you on your blog here, or anywhere else on the web.
Mr. ThisGuy,
1) There is an email address in the right sidebar that one may use for questions of this type.
2) But since you elected to drop trou in a public comment thread: While I may be annoyed at the occasional thing you say, I do not know you well enough to be annoyed with you, per se. But when I am, you will goddam well know it, and you will goddam well know why.
I always wanted to buy an old Mustang and re-arrange the letters on the trunk without the M and the T.
Tam, if you are not annoyed at me, why did you publicly say on this here very blog of yours that I should stay out of pistol shot range of you, or words to that effect?
It's no skin off my nose, (sorry about that), being pretty sure that we'll probably never meet in real life, but I do like to be on friendly cordial terms with my internet correspondents.
Are you obtuse? Or deliberately trying to pick a fight?
Or were you unable to read my remark about the email address because I accidentally typed it in invisible ink or something? This commenst section is not here to assuage your feelings or serve as your private Agony Aunt column out in public.
This is the internet. You don't need to wait for a new model.

Alright, Ma'am, next time I get annoyed at you, I'll send you an email.
And, no, there is no slightest chance that I will ever be within pistol shot of you, or of anybody else in Indiana. Living in Southern Flarduh as I have to do, I have learned more than I wanted to know about Midwesterners.
