More Accolades for Subaru

Just a Quick Recap
Wow! We knew we were into something good, but it seems the word’s really been getting out lately. Kelly Blue Book (KBB) recently reported that Subaru vehicles hold their value the best of any brand. In 2009, the depreciation rate for all vehicles in the market for 2005-2008 model years was 8.5 percent. However, used Subaru vehicles for these same model years actually increased in value by 1.3 percent. Just one more great reason to stick with a Subaru! And, on January 15, Cars.com announced that the Subaru Outback was voted their “Best Wagon” for 2010. In addition, the 2010 Forester was also named by Cars.com as their “Best Vehicle for Families”.
In other news, the Subaru Forester received the R.L. Polk Owner Loyalty Award in the small crossover utility segment, besting RAV4, CRV, Ford Escape, and Hyundai Santa Fe at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The January 21 New York Times featured the 2010 Legacy and Outback in their automotive section. The Times noted… “This could be Subaru’s manifest destiny, as the maker of handy AWD vehicles tries to move beyond its heartland in the great, icy north to places where frost is seen mainly in the freezer. The new 2010 Legacy Sedan and Outbacks … have significantly more rear legroom, much better fuel economy and upgrades in safety…”
Auto expert Jim Henry, writing on his BNET blog noted, “The longer I’m around the auto industry, the more I realize the paramount importance of exterior styling. The improved exterior styling is the best reason I can think of to account for the fact that Subaru just finished 2009 with a record sales year in the U.S. while nearly every other brand struggled”.
