Pricing turned out ok. I put a [refundable] deposit down on an orange GT: the crippling boredom of my Highlander is doing things to my brain.
Subaru gives you a $750 rebate if you're willing to go do a triathlon, even a small one. Also hoping I can haggle them down below $50k for the new $5k EV rebate.

What if you just sign up for one? do they need to see the result?
Since the rebate is from the manufacture (not dealer level), just ask the sales what he needs to get Subaru Canada to give the rebate. The dealer will do this all day, after all the $750 is not coming out of their pocket, and if it is something that can help secure another sale, why not....

Haha good lookin out.
Unfortunately the Subaru website says you have to show your finish time so you really do have to do it. ><
Fml the shortest triathlon I found:
375m Swim, 10km Bike, 2.5km Run
375m is like 14 laps of a pool lolol

The Uncharted is really growing on me. Not enough to put a deposit down yet, but might tip me over if they offer low lease rates and decent discounts like they're offering for the Solterra right now.
The FWD models qualify for the new federal rebate, though a FWD Subaru feels wrong.
The C-HR isn't half bad either, but I expect their lease rates to be far worse based on how the BZ is priced next to the Solterra. Plus I heard the C-HR will be a low-volume model for Canada which might float the higher prices for a bit.

In case you guys aren't aware, the cost to register for Ironman in Canada using the Ottawa event as an example ranges from CAD$1,299.01 to CAD$3,078.58, depending on the entry type. That's a deep expense for a $750 savings. I'm loving this Revscene math right here.
That's only "free" if you're a participant in a relay triathlon. Your team (via the captain) would still have to pay up.
Sprint Relay Triathlon (Team Captain)
750m Swim, 29km Bike, 5km Run - June 7, 2026 $187.42
Also 750m swim, are you trying to get me killed?!

I'm confused. I would've thought Ironman would be too mainstream for you, and now you're even knocking Milton because it's too "fringe". You've changed . Where is hipster dukes we all knew and loved

340hp AWD for $52k to me is a bargain, and I like the idea of putting that kind of power in a tiny package.
Like a bunch of you guys on RS, I've had good times with my S2000. Over 17 years, I liked the challenge of stuffing all kinds of things into that car and getting away with it. Hauling stuff down the highway, through downtown traffic, things sticking way up through the open top: tall packages, giant stuffies, office chairs, you name it.

I've had the Mach-E as a rental twice, and in both times I had issues with the electronic door popper lagging / not responding.
Wasn't a fan of the low-speed throttle calibration. Felt jumpy.
Felt slow (AWD, but not GT/Rally). Back end rotates, but unpredictably so.
Fiddly UI. Felt a little distracting flipping around through menus to adjust things while I was driving.

I've had maybe 5 or 6 Ioniq5 rentals. Love the look of these from the outside, but I don't like the bubbly looking interior. The switchgear and general user interfacing has felt unintuitive, even despite using it a bunch of times.
I could've begrudgingly overlooked all that for the N, but you can't get one with a panoramic moonroof. I emailed Hyundai Canada with a plea: no reply lol.

I just don't know that it'd be the responsible thing to do. In my first year of ownership, I built a spreadsheet for the R1 tracking 30+ issues, 20 of them being repeats / new problems caused by attempted fixes of the original issues.
In the delivery room at the hospital, with our newborn baby next to me, I was on the phone with Rivian arguing that they should pay for the damage to my truck because the tow operator dented it in transit. (why did they have to tow in the first place? because of an amateur-hour 12V electrical architecture + a bug-ridden firmware update = bricked, that's why)
But they argued that it was a 3rd party so it's out of their hands wtf. And then they refused to discuss further, so then I had to go find them on LinkedIn to get ahold of them.
...still loved that truck: it was like magic when it worked. Still might wind up in an R2, because I've learned nothing

Go to dealer to make sure this qualifies, honestly this isnt bad, even with my fatass body i can probably do this...
375 swim... doesnt sound too bad
10km bike .... is easy peasy if its flat ground
2.5KM run .... its like 6 laps in highschool
The part I'm really worried about is the swim. 375 m is 15 lengths of a pool. That's not totally crazy, but I haven't swum (swimmed? swam?) laps since elementary school either haha.
Also at a triathlon, you're swimming in open water with rolling waves, water currents, and people swimming all around you kicking and jabbing. I heard that makes it way harder.
This is probably the stroke I should learn to master: flip onto my back and just flounder slowly to the finish .
