[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out and test drive the 2019 Subaru Ascent. [/quote]

Underpowered. Way, WAY underpowered for a 3-row SUV. We test drove one in May. It's actually unsettling how slowly it accelerates, even with only me, my wife, and the salesman. On-ramp merging with a heavy load (like 5-7 people) with so little power seems like it would be absolutely terrifying.  We have a 2013 Ford Expedition right now, and it might not be perfect, but at least when you hit the gas pedal, it GOES, right NOW! The Subaru, not so much. Plus, the Subaru has the stupid CVT transmission, which Subaru is having all kinds of problems with now in vehicles that are 3-5 years old. No thanks. [/quote]

Funny because the Ascent is faster to 60 than your 6yo Expedition. I'm not a Subaru fan at all but it sounds like you haven't driven one.[/quote]

Uh, I think I can correctly recall a car I test drove, thank you very much. I don't care what the stats say, I drove it. It's definitely considerably slower than our Expedition. Even with 7 passengers and 5 bags of hockey gear in back, it still gets off the line faster than the Subaru felt.

Why are you pimping the Subaru so hard? Do you sell them or something? It's a bland, underpowered, scaled-up Outback. It can't tow even half what a Tahoe, Surburban, Expedition, Sequoia or Land Cruiser can. It's a car in a world of real trucks. Plus, it has a lousy transmission that is failing at unprecedented levels in the auto industry. [/quote]

:roll:

A turbo 4 and an NA V8 build power differently. If you had a vbox you would see the acceleration times would be the same (Ascent would probably even have the edge). You comparing a car-based crossover like the Ascent to the body-on-frame SUVs you listed which just cements the fact that you have no idea WTF you're talking about.
