OK, your point is well taken. But some of us are curious and these hybrids
don't grow on trees. So I'll break your proposed rule and TALK ABOUT IT...
several months ago I asked for curiosity's sake for feedback from soobaroo
conversion owners about the longevity of their hybrids. One reply.

Being in rural/ "not many of those VanAgons 'round here" Ohio, I can't go
cross town and see one. So how about some vicarious input.

Yeh ...What about longevity?   Anybody got 100k on theirs yet?

Haven't done, drove, or even seen one.  I HAVE worked on several Outbacks
and they sure sound great!! Looks like a natural match (in my mind).
