No, it's the car. Subarus are the epitome of wholewheat-sandles neckbeard... here in the bay there are so many of them being driven by tofu eaters, middle aged lesbians and legally blind Asians.
if the FX37 or whatever stupid name they're calling it these days wasn't so damn UGLY I'd say get that, it drives well and the v6 shits all over the Rogue. Infiniti's new cars look ok but their SUVs are fucking hideous.
x5 would get my vote the new one is a beauty. Or x3 3.5 m package if you want something a little smaller.
Personally I'd take a v6 wagon, like cadillacs CTS sport wagon in a heartbeat over any CUV/SUV
