Last November, just as winter was starting to settle into the Icelandic Highlands, we thought it would be a brilliant idea to drive the Crosstrek Hybrid across a volcanic plain. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I know that may come as a bit of a shock. Subaru making a Hybrid, that is. But yes, it's a real hybrid. It's not a retro-fitted Toyota system. Granted, driving into a winter storm isn't the best test for economy, but it sure made for an adventure.

So stick your hands in a bucket of ice (just to feel half as cold as we felt) and click through to watch the epic video that almost caused a Donner Party revival.

Ask Todd Hill if he'd be willing to give us an XV XT for at least one or two model years

That's been the topic of every single sit-down we've had with Subaru engineers. (and yes, Todd got an earful about it as well.)
