Your next to a Subaru Forester 2.5XT, light turns green, do nothing....
Zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds according to latest Car & Driver....OUCH! This is a soccer Mom vehicle! Audi should look at this big time! Why are both the 3.0 and 1.8T engines soooo anemic?

LOL, The Baja is horrible
The Forrester attracts the worst buyers. They're too scared to drive without AWD, but they're also afraid of owning an SUV. I'm always behind one doing under the speed limit, or get caught behind someone who pulls in front of me slowly.

Umm, stock 1.8t has more power.170hp/1.8=94.4hp/ltr vs 210hp/2.5=84hp/ltr Engine tech's no problem.
If you wanna drive around in some in tin can with crappy viscous-coupling AWD, Subaru is the car for you. Just don't gripe that Audi's engine tech is not there, it's just a matter of marketing, reliability and warranty concerns. Look to the 1.8t 225 for some real inspiration.
