Fiat (especially Abarth edition) or Mini. That's about it.

No way on Subarus or Priuses. At least around here (Bethesda), it seems like 30% of the cars on the road are one or the other.

I'm guessing the answer might be Suburu.

Fellow Saab driver here. I bought my Saab new after test driving over 30 cars. Its now 8yrs old and on occasion I'm itching for a another new car, I go test drive new cars every now and then and always walk out disappointed......until I get back in my Saab again with manual transmission and tuned to nearly 300bhp.....and my smile re-appears once again There really isn't any other car for us out there, sadly, only Saab owners will understand....

You need to do you OP and not worry about everybody else.

Ford Fusion hybrid

Brings me back to the Jag.

DeLorean.

I think it depends in part on where you live. In my neighborhood, if you don't drive a Suburban, a Landcruiser, or a Range Rover, you are non-conformist. I am a non-conformist.

Priuses (Pri=I)? Really?

This is the biggest problem on this forum. If you can't or won't answer an OP's question, shut the fuck up and move on.

I love my subaru. It's my mom car, my last car was an Audi TT, which I loved. So...I'm not sure what you'll make of that, but it's a vote for a forester.

I love our CX-5 too. Very fun to drive, super versatile (we had a jeep Cherokee before)

It's not Subaru.

Prius for life.

I think it makes you a conformist if you ask other people which car you should get.
