the less you feel the need...

"See, that's the trouble with the Forester, It's commendable and enjoyable and (especially when the diesel comes) an all-around good vehicle. It's a great tool, and past Subaru form shows it'll never let you down. But it's not a piece of clothing or a lifestyle statement. Even the people who own it aren't bothered about appearances. Subaru UK staff say the buyers, who are intensely loyal, just think of it as a tall go-anywhere estate, not as some lifestyle-statement SUV. But then, the less you feel the need to make a statement about it, the more likely you are actually to have the lifestyle.
For that, I hugely admire the Forester, even though it seems to have been deliberately styled to be unloved. You can spend thousands more on a basic X3, and you'd have a worse vehicle, albeit one that did more to elevate your social status among the know-nothings. Subaru is demanding a lot of self-confidence from you, because the Forester, by its drabness, refuses to massage your ego. Surely it would have been possible to make something smarter-looking that was just as useful and didn't cost any more?"
