Subaru_dude Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think people who want to dump their SUVs for something more fuel efficient and rugged are going for Subarus. I have noticed a huge increase in the Subaru population around here. Not only new however... it's becoming more and more common to see EA82s and even EA81s.

subaru360 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yep, I heard this news a few weeks ago! Subie FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Heh, that is quite amusing. Oh and something kewl that happened up here in North Idaho. This was as of a few weeks ago, but it still seems valid. They were showing a clip of a highway that had been shut down because of weather conditions and there was only one car on the road, still moving under its own power that is. A 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5XT!!! He he he. Oh, and there were suv's on the road, sort of, if you can count the ditch and half the shoulder. Subaru rules and always will ---------------- Now playing: Teddy Verseti - Church via FoxyTunes I don't normally listen to rap/hip hop, but it seems fitting if you've ever heard it.

andrew_j Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) The new Forester is selling like hot cakes in my local area (Coastal NH). The (New) Impreza also seems to be getting common beyond the standard Outback. Subaru hit the niche quite well. I think they did well due to a new hit product 2009 Forester coupled to the dumping of the 2008 Forester with heavy incentives. For our economy though they still only represent around 1% US market share. Edited January 6, 2009 by andrew_j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I guess folks are catching on to something we have known for years. Go SUBARU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegacy96 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Now if they had fuel efficient hybrids and diesels they could really clean up. I gotta believe alot of trail stomping Forester owners would enjoy a hybrid. I myself would love to 200 HP Legacy hybrid and with AWD, its something no other car company except for Lexus offers with the 600hL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadwick35/04 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Dude that is sweet news, love it, subaru kicks rump roast! Makes you feel good about owning one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene J Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Now if the Impreza didn't look like it was influenced by GM with a chrome trowel and they made a Legacy wagon, the sales might be even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
