Look, the BMW is a superb $50,000 car.  It isn't in the same class as 
the SHO by some margin, but owners of each can enjoy them and love them.

If someone wants a garage full of SHO's, then bully for them.  If 
someone else would rather have one or more BMW/s, then great for them.  
I have had both, and although the BMW I had was a really great car, I 
now still have my SHO's, and not any BMW.  I may have another BMW, I may 
have another Subaru.  Inbetween, I enjoy and appreciate my SHO's for 
what they are.

Personally I don't care about what young people on a Subaru forum say 
about what cars they buy, of course they want a Subaru more than 
anything else.  Most people on the SHO forum like and want an SHO.  That 
is why they are there for the most part.

Nothing good can come from continuing this, move on oK?
