I don't, it was just a joke, but I think you hate the Forester even more than I hate Acura.

Actually I dont hate Subaru, I hate their exterior designs BUT some of the cars themselves are actually pretty good technologically.. like using AWD, turbo 4 liters, excellent susp. setups, etc... The wrx as well as some other models that utilize this technology are certaily good cars once you get under the sheetmetal

Obviously neither are you because frameless doors have nothing to do with areodynamics... plus if you put them on a sedan they just look stupid. on a two door coupe maybe, but a sedan... that just looks retarded. ES Included. Why do you think Toyota/ Lexus did away with them on their Sedans???? Not because they were making the cars to fast (according to your areodynamics retarded theory), but because they had numerous complaints about wind noise and they fact that they had a tendency to not seal correctly. do your home work, even current scoobies have this problem. Frameless doors on a sedan SUCK!

Actually, frameless doors/windows ARE better areodynamically. Don't try to distort facts. Yes, they are noiser and don't always seal well, but since my Subaru isn't a luxury car I could care less.

By the way, good aero has purposes that go beyond making a car a "to (sic) fast."

What are you on about? i have frameless windows on my ES250, the weatherstripping is 15 years old, and they dont leak at all! i love the framelss glass, i think it looks elegant, especailly with the windows down.

never said they were ALL bad. Dont get it twisted. There are a lot of good cars with no door frames... but i cant think of too many. ES is one of them, but it still fails to keep the car as quiet as a car with door frames. To each his own.

and as for the spelling... i hit the extra O in TOO too quick. Keyboards at work suck.
