Just picked up a used copy of Crap Cars. It's by Top Gear writer Richard Porter and ranks the 50 crappiest cars of all time (that were sold in the States). Number 30 was the Subaru XT. Apparently, four wheel drive was activated by pushing a button on the jet fighter gear knob (see video) or by turning on the windshield wiper (singular, as it is indeed a monoblade).
BTW, some of my favorite cars are on the list, including the Maserati Biturbo, the Aston Martin Lagonda, and the Ferrari 400.

I wouldn't believe anything coming from a Top Gear writter...
@Viva: That's funny.
Question for you: Do you know if Cerveza Austral plans on exporting its beer to the United States?
He's done several other funny books worth a read too.
I can't recommend the Sniff Petrol/Gareth Jones on Speed podcast highly enough - great fun.
I love a whole bunch of the cars in the Crap Cars book.
