Looks like Subaru is holding the price of all Uncharted Models and not making any changes at all, not even an additional paint option. They are doing the same with the Solterra so it is safe to say they will do the same with the Trailseeker as well.

Anybody else wish Toyota would bring the Sienta over to the US? With van sales back on the upswing and gas prices higher, it would be nice to have a smaller, more economical option to the Sienna here in the States.

I'm pretty sure we've had posts about Sen̓áḵw before, but this was a little different window into the project than I've seen before. #LandBack

Just got this email from ABRP that they're working on adding the Uncharted.

Hey folks,

We're buying out the lease on our i6, and the dealer wants to do a "HYUNDAI CERTIFICATION" they tell me will turn the car into a CPO. Is there any advantage to doing that versus just taking the car? I'm not sure the $2379 is worth it.

I also don't entirely trust the dealer not to do something shady since they said they buy it from Hyundai and then we buy it from them. I'm half afraid they'll take the car and sell it to somebody else while they have it for the "certification."

For reference, we can't go through Hyundai Motor Finance to close out since we're in SC and the online portal says we have to visit a dealer. My previous lease I bought out was all online and simple, but I lived in a different state at the time.

Edit:

1)This is a Limited RWD.

2. It's a family member's car and they're not interested in another car. We've taken it in every 8k for its maintenance and know the car's history. I appreciate that some of y'all would rather save a few thousand by swapping cars, but that's not our situation.

Every week, my small rubber stamp factory in Minnesota sends hundreds of pounds of clean, high-quality natural rubber to the landfill. It kills me. This is the stuff trimmed off the edges of our stamps. It's soft, natural red rubber, no dirt, no contamination.

I've posted before and gotten tons of great suggestions. I've reached out to every single one. Mulch recyclers, playground surfacing, crafters, art teachers, makerspaces, you name it. Nobody wants it. Most would rather grind up dirty old tires than take clean rubber from a stamp shop. I can't make it make sense.

It's free. You just pay shipping, which works out to about $1/lb. I'll ship as much as you want. Use it for crafts, gaskets, packing material, garden mulch, art projects, whatever. I just want it to go somewhere besides a landfill.

If this resonates with you, please crosspost it to any subreddit you think might want this. Crafters, gardeners, makers, sustainability, hobbies, anything. That's the real ask.

TOKYO — Subaru Corp. is taking a $362 million charge and delaying production of its independently developed electric vehicle in Japan as slowing EV demand reshapes the automaker’s electrification strategy, forcing a tilt back to hybrids and internal combustion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL6S0eQkMXM

From all car news. What are your thoughts?

We finally got a Trailseeker and Uncharted in here, and I was able to park my Impreza next to them.

The Uncharted is only four inches longer than my car, IIRC, but it looks a lot bulkier. Some of that is being higher like a Crosstrek and the added height from the battery pack underneath. I think a lot of it too is the higher hood line, which I don't love. I suspect this might impact forward visibility a bit, so that's another point in favor of going with the Sport or GT for the cameras.

The Trailseeker looks good in photos, but even better in person. The camera certainly adds some pounds, because in person it really looks like a svelte wagon. I felt like I was seeing the ghost of the Legacy Wagon. Lol

I think a lot of that is the roof rack. I remember liking the Outback Touring with the flush rails better than its contemporaries as well when that was a thing. I'm very excited to see how these look once people get them lowered.
