OK, your point is well taken. But some of us are curious and these hybrids don't grow on trees. So I'll break your proposed rule and TALK ABOUT IT... several months ago I asked for curiosity's sake for feedback from soobaroo conversion owners about the longevity of their hybrids. One reply. > Go DO ONE or DRIVE ONE. Then tell us what you think. Being in rural/ "not many of those VanAgons 'round here" Ohio, I can't go cross town and see one. So how about some vicarious input. > There are million OPINIONS out there. Lets hear from those with experience. Yeh ...What about longevity? Anybody got 100k on theirs yet? Haven't done, drove, or even seen one. I HAVE worked on several Outbacks and they sure sound great!! Looks like a natural match (in my mind).
