Junkyard Find: 1991 Subaru XT6

As I've mentioned before, Colorado junkyards are full of Subarus of the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Mostly I'm sort of indifferent to Subarus of this era, with two important exceptions: the BRAT and the XT. Both are fairly rare (the last time I saw a junked XT was last year, when I found this Juggalo-abused '91), so I came to a screeching halt when I found this XT6.
Someday I will own an XT, though I'm torn between the pseudo-powerful XT6 and the digital instrument cluster of the XT Turbo. Such science-fiction optimism and goofy lines!
The era of loony-looking steering wheels like this ended when airbags became mandatory equipment. In '91, manufacturers could substitute those maddening automatic seat belts for airbags.
These cars were supposed to have aircraft-influenced styling, which was the reason for the Ki-61-esque shift lever.
Remember analog EQs on car stereos?
Using "H" to designate a boxer engine just never seems right. Maybe call this one an ɛɜ6?
