A shame they were ahead of the game, but only those few that bought them understood the mission.

Didn't help that it was both hideous and a fastback rather than a wagon. The classic Outback was successful for a reason. But now, that Outback's new style has gone more upright and boxy, clearly a wannabe SUV rather than a lifted wagon. And that clearly shows Subaru's shame in their own image, that they chose to hide what the Outback always was and is supposed to be.
 
Oh for sure. It was literally butt-ugly looking more like a GM product than a Honda. The Euro/TSX Wagon should have been the shell.
 
Blink/Squint and you may think its an URUS....hmmmm or not....lol.

My mother had a blue ‘84 sedan automatic. We went to a Honda dealer in Manhattan or Queens back in ‘89(I was 18yo at the time), looking at Accords because my sister’s God-parents just bought the top model in white. My mother couldn’t afford it so she tried to get the Civic, but couldn’t get that. So, a friend of my Father found the ‘84 in excellent condition and we rolled with that for a good while.
I only drove it once. Soon after that, one of my friends from college would drive me around in his then new 1990 Jetta GLI 16V.

About that hatch though. Must have been 19865 or 1986. A bunch of us( me, brother, sister and cousins) were in the back of one of my uncle’s station wagon on the freeway. We see this blue Accord Hatch zooming up behind us and pulling off to exit the freeway. An older(to us) dude and his partner smiling because we waved to them and they waved back. First, we heard the exhaust. Next, we noticed the front air dam in black and rear lip spoiler in black. At that speed, the wheels looked like Panasports/Minilites and it had a Jackson Racing sticker in the rear side window. He’s hard on the brakes, downshifting and smoothly entering the curve of the long exit ramp and gone. We never forgot that.
