VW Passat TDI. I like the idea of filling up once a week (and I have a large territory). Also - sunroof, heated seats, Sirius, rear camera and such.
2014 Subaru Forester. Has ground clearance so it doesn't snowplow in the snowbelt like the Legacy does. Plus you are above much of the dangerous road spray that impedes vision. The 2014 actually has good passing acceleration on the sketchy 2 lane roads. This small CUV has the gas mileage of the Legacy, handles better, and leaves the low sketchy ground clearance to those in Connecticut that never leave the cubicle.
