I thought lots of European countries had upcoming bans on the sale of new ICE cars. So surely this is just getting ahead of that.

they are in process of ditching that. Merz and UVDL are pushing hard for it

Define 'lots'. Because around half of the EU (and an even larger share of Europe) has next to zero EV infrastructure in place. Banning ICE cars would be banning cars, period. If 'lots' is France, Germany, and Switzerland, then yeah, maybe.

they passed that law in 2022 with a ban for 2035. that is more than enough time to build infrastructure.

You needed to test drive a car to learn that it was a gasoline car? You're brave for admitting that.

Your logic is faulty but we still love you.

You test drove the car famous for exactly two things, one of which is its boxer engine. What exactly were you expecting if not the famous boxer engine?

I was expecting a fair comparison between 5 different cars having features I liked, so that I could choose one to purchase.

Impreza is almost 4.5 meters long. How is that a small car? Are you a lorry driver?

Unfortunately I am in America and that is a compact car. Most vehicles here are 4.75 meters in length or more. I do have to haul an equipment set for work.

Subaru has had an all electric option in the States for 4 years now,

I've had my Hyundai for 5 years so I guess Subaru was 1 year too late.

Lose the screens, put back the buttons, and return the Outback to a station wagon and we'll talk.

Famous for blowing head gaskets.

Sure, in 20+ year old engines. What was the last modern non-wrx Subie you had a head gasket go in?

Do car companies usually use "test mules" in their marketing imagery on their website 🤔 No

Can you please share this marketing imagery? Because the car we're talking about here does not exist yet

That is because you're replying to a thread that wasn't intended, which is why my comment says "wrong comment, ignore".
I edited it immediately and maybe it didn't federate quick enough, which caused this.

You're talking about a prototype whereas I'm talking about their current lineup of 4 SUVs.
