I understand that AWD always comes at a price.

That said, I also have a liking for the new Fusions. If they made an
AWD Fusion Wagon in that 'cool white' color, I might actually consider
one.

IIRC, Subaru says "no more Legacy wagons in North America".

Being a NPR show, I would suspect that Subaru and Volvo owners are
disproportionately represented. Yes, I am stereotyping, but if the
foo ****s...
