this seems a repeat of the past.
look at everything that was good and realize it is gone..
the 70s even had my 6 foot 4 neighbor and his giant family driving an ea81 like it was a million bucks.
the 80s lull for subaru was an over smogged runt and american RWD cheap, from impalas, to monte carlos, crown vic was and is a winner...gas less than a buck.
the 90s saw fuel rising.. that is when I plucked at an 80s sube at a dealer for $1300..even my friends parked what is now classics.
today? its the 70s, missing the 80s, with a 90s problem times ten.
of course subaru is going to get a sale. weak engined or not.
mention 40mpg in a suby sale.. the littlest impreza and reality are gonna meet an ea82. don't be fooled at where the facts of engineering and strength are in other words.
stampede of public is almost headed for the common sense like socialism would do to an entire populus...facts missing or not.
my two cents.
