I have spent most of my life swapping cars, owning multiple models at a time, etc. I have owned everything from mid 90's BMW 750's to modern Mercs to Alfas to Miatas, Firebirds, built off roaders, SUV's, Abarths...always looking to drive something unique.
Anyways, out of everything I have owned, I have never received so much attention as I have in the Tour X the last 6 months or so. Dads, Moms, Co-workers, folks at gas stations are all walking up and asking what it is. Now, I have de-badged it as much as possible, so it is hard to know what it is...as well as swapped to 20" summer rims and tires. The common two questions are "is it fast" and "what kind of mileage does it get". They are surprised at both...and even more surprised when I tell them it is 4+ years old, AWD, and you can't get one anymore.
Anyways...with the latest fuel prices, I wonder if something like this would be the new norm. I have to say with my detest of driving what everybody else has, I would have to find something new...but at least it would drive up the value of my current DD.
