...transplant surgery becoming more popular? Yes, I think it is. I think it's much more acceptable. You literally cannot tell a patient who has had a hair transplant today.

At Detroit's North American International Auto Show, Subaru unveiled a concept car that will likely evolve into a midsize sedan version of its Legacy.

Of course, if all else fails, there are always those folks who bought an Outback 7.3 years ago - and are ready to return...
