The SUVification of the Subaru Outback is my villain origin story
@Slyence @benlockwood for a long time, lesbians were the main* customers for Subaru, and they actually rescued the brand from bankruptcy. I don't know a lesbian that would be caught dead in the recent offerings. So really they're chasing other brands' customers, poorly, in a way that simply becomes compelling to nobody.
*I don't say exclusive here, but even the non-sapphic customers for the Outback and Forrester were still there for the same practicality and design language, and are generally going to be equally alienated by SUVification.
