No topo é Lexus e Toyota, então surpreendentemente Buick é 3, seguido por Audi, Kia e Mazda. Observe que o CR está usando um novo sistema de pontuação com gráficos e cores que são um pouco mais difíceis de decifrar e ver em comparação com os antigos.

Os Crosstreks de 2017 esperavam que este mês (novembro) as vendas de outubro totalizassem 53.760, um aumento de 4 em 51.629 outubro de 2015. Subarus top 3 é o Outback, Forester e Crosstrek, e sim theyre todos os modelos de vagões. Outback é o grande vendedor este mês com um aumento de 22 em 2015 para 18.008. Forester é 2 e tem estado em oferta desde as suas enormes vendas de agosto de 19.658. Crosstreks continuam a vender praticamente. Subaru conta com Impreza 2017 para fazer bem no próximo ano. As 5 portas serão populares, mas estão esperando que o sedan ganhe terreno. Subaru nunca teve um sedan de alto volume. Por enquanto, o fornecimento de Imprezas 2016 é muito baixo. O total de YTD é de 500.647, o que deixa o objetivo de 615.000 ao alcance. Em outubro de vendas por modelo Outback 18.008, um aumento de 3279 carros (22) acima de 14729 1015.

O sprint está pronto para alcançar o objetivo declarado de 615.000. Os 3 meses finais do ano são tipicamente muito fortes para Subaru (inverno de outono e inverno) e 615,000 carros para o ano estão ao alcance. Subaru ficaria satisfeito com os direitos de se gabar que vem quando eles quebram 600 mil barreiras, e isso deve ser fácil. Mas o objetivo esperado é de 615.000 e espera ver muito, por favor, nos ame, publicidade, internet e atividades de e-mail, e, claro, para as taxas de financiamento baixas incentivadas (0) para continuar. Pesquisadores on-line até mesmo estão recebendo ofertas popup do site para uma caneca Starbucks grátis se eles forem para um teste drive (não sabe como isso se traduz em vendas). O volume do Subaru sempre foi baseado em utilidade - Outback, Forester, Crosstrek e Outback Sport antes do Crosstrek The Outback e Forester são consistentemente os 2 melhores vendedores e foram para sempre. Em agosto, o Forester 2017 atualizado explodiu todos os totais mensais do modelo único anterior com um impressionante 19.658. Com o estoque esgotado, as vendas da Forester em setembro caíram para 15883 e é 2 para o mês atrás do Outback 16978 até 2016 1 Forester 130,652 2 Outback 126,426 3 Crosstrek 68,810 A Subaru espera que o novo Impreza em dezembro eleve esse volume de modelos, Especialmente o sedan que sempre foi um motor lento. O BRZ 2017 é uma grande melhoria em relação ao 2016 - as luzes LED e o novo spoiler traseiro são bonitos e padrão em todos os modelos, os novos controles de áudio e bluetooth do volante estão atrasados, o medidor digital Limitado é divertido e tem boa informação (Ok, então talvez gimmicky, mas eu gosto) e o grande sorteio será o Pacote de Desempenho que agora pode ser encomendado nos Limiteds. Sim, ainda é uma roda traseira Subaru.

O Pacote de Desempenho é padrão nos 500 modelos Limited. Modelos amarelos esperados em março de 2017 91515 2017 O Outback 2.5 e 3.6 Touring na cor marrom brilhante foi descontinuado após um total de 2000 carros foram feitos. Aparentemente, o marrom brilhante sempre foi planejado como uma curta duração de apenas 2000 carros. Isso também era verdade para o pacote original Outback Special Appearance, brilhante original, que também era uma produção limitada. Ainda há uma boa seleção do brilhante Brown 2017 Outback Tourings disponível a nível nacional e alguns ainda estão sendo enviados, mas eles não estarão disponíveis por muito tempo. 91315 As molduras em arco da roda opcional Foresters foram retiradas. Devido a problemas de produção não especificados, molduras de arco de roda não estão mais disponíveis. Não estou certo de que eles já estavam realmente disponíveis ou colocados em 2017 Forester. É provavelmente relacionado à adesão, para eles ficarem no carro. Isso também aconteceu no 2014 Foresters - a moldagem do arco da roda estava presumivelmente disponível, mas foi deixada cair antes de serem colocadas nos carros. 9716 2016 As ordens de Impreza e Crosstrek são desligadas. Sem aviso prévio e o corte real foi provavelmente em 91 93 de agosto de 2016 sobe para novas alturas com um recorde de 60.418 carros vendidos em um mês O que um mês de agosto de 2016 foi. Um aumento de 15 em relação aos 52,697 vendidos em agosto de 2015, um novo recorde mensal total, o melhor mês para os modelos Forester e Outback, além de quebra a barreira de 60 mil. 60.418 carros são mais do que Subaru da América vendidos em qualquer um dos seus primeiros 9 anos, até 1976. Foi 1977 quando a Subaru vendeu 80.826 em um ano. O melhor mês anterior foi dezembro de 2015, com 56.274 vendidos. Os números de agosto de 2016 foram feitos com o excepcional volume Forester, Outback e Crosstrek (novamente, um mês recorde para os modelos Forester e Outback) e um fornecimento apertado de Impreza, WRX STI e BRZ. O novo Forester 2017 com detecção de ponto cego, travagem automática reversa e Eyesight v3 está basicamente vendendo tão rápido que rola os caminhões de entrega. Com um modelo de melhor registro de 19.658 vendido em agosto, o Forester deve ser o primeiro modelo a quebrar os 20.000 em um mês. O Outback foi o grande vencedor do mês devido ao aumento da oferta, com 17.358 representando um enorme aumento de 56 sobre 815 vendas, e seu melhor mês de sempre. O Crosstrek continua a avançar rapidamente, e com uma melhor oferta esperada quando a produção de Impreza 2017 se move para Lafayette, seus números devem aumentar. As vendas legadas estão aumentando com as vendas de agosto de 5800, que é um aumento muito forte de mais de 815 vendas, mas isso contrasta ao lado do Toyota Camry, por exemplo, com 32.864 vendidos em agosto, então há muito espaço para o crescimento. Imprezas estão em oferta muito curta, já que a venda de 2016 continua. Ainda há alguns 2016s chegando (não muitos), e os 16 não podem mais ser ordenados (encerrado em 31 de agosto), e os 2017 antecipados e redesenhados são ETA no final de novembro. Existem algumas das BRZs atualizadas de 2017 que começam a chegar a nível nacional, mas o pacote de desempenho desejável é devido em dezembro (inverno) e sim, vale a pena esperar. Agosto de vendas por modelo Forester 19.658, acima de 2093 carros (12) sobre 17.565 815 Outback 17.355, up 6245 carros (56) mais de 11.113 815 Crosstrek 8.787, abaixo de 12 carros de 8.799 815 Legacy 5.800, 1519 carros (35) acima de 4.281 815 Impreza 5.319, abaixo de 1755 (-25) de 7.074 815 WRX, STI 3194, 173 carros (-5) de 3.367 815 BRZ 302, que é 196 menos (-39) do que 498 vendidos 815 92 taxas de financiamento de setembro - 0 continua em 2017 Outback and Forester 0 a 48 mos continua, Legacy 0 estendido para 6063 meses 82716 N atualizações de mapa de aviação 2012 e modelos mais recentes com navegação podem obter atualizações de mapas Os modelos de navegação 2016 e 2017 podem obter os 3 anos de atualizações gratuitas quando disponíveis SubaruMapUpdates 73116 Vendas de julho Totaliza 52.093, um aumento de 1576 carros (3) em julho de 2015 em 16 de julho. O YTD é de 331.551, um aumento de 8616 carros (ou 3) acima de 322.925 YTD 2015 e coloca Subaru no caminho certo para chegar a cerca de 600.000 para o ano. Olhando para os números de julho, o alto volume Outback e Forester estão indo bem. O Outback é substancialmente e o Forester está estável apesar do mês. À medida que os Foresters mais atualizados com a nova detecção de pontos Eyeight e Blind estão disponíveis, seus números devem aumentar. E para ajudar isso, o Subaru tem 0 financiamentos em 17 Outback, Forester e Legacy (verifique o seu revendedor local para obter taxas em sua área). E o Subaru está planejando fazer mais Outbacks e Legacys que nunca, então os revendedores devem ter um suprimento. A Subaru está falando no maciço dos novos 17 Impreza no final deste outono (com Carplay e Android Auto), e isso não está ajudando as 16 vendas do modelo atual. Mas o fornecimento de 16s já é um pouco baixo e isso é de acordo com os planos da Subarus. Quanto ao BRZ, o modelo 17 deve motivar algumas pessoas que não estão entusiasmadas com a versão atual. E o WRX e o STI são carros de baixa produção - um mês as vendas estão em alta, o próximo para baixo, mas sempre há um forte interesse. Em julho as vendas por modelo Outback 14,704 carros, que é acima de 3841 (ou 35) mais que 10863 julho 2015 Forester 14,856 carros, que está abaixo 955 (ou -6) abaixo 15811 julho 2015 Crosstrek 8,480 carros, que está abaixo de 95 (ou -1 ) Abaixo de 8575 de julho de 2015 Impreza 5.200 carros, que estão abaixo de 1327 (ou -20) abaixo de 6527 julho 2015 Legacy 5.212 carros, que estão acima de 712 (ou 16) sobre 4500 julho 2015 WRX, STI 3.288 carros, que está abaixo de 428 (ou 12 ) 3716 julho 2015 BRZ 353 carros, que está abaixo de 172 (ou - 33) abaixo de 525 de julho de 2015. 728 Subaru confirma em um comunicado de imprensa que o 2016 Crosstrek Hybrid foi descontinuado Subaru parou de aceitar novas encomendas para o Hybrid de venda lenta em 7 de março , 2016. Não houve aviso prévio. Boom: não há mais pedidos aceitos. Ainda há uma boa oferta disponível a nível nacional, então, se você estiver procurando por um Híbrido Crosstrek, agora é a hora. Pensamentos difíceis sobre o híbrido Crosstrek. A Crosstrek é uma das lojas de sucesso recentes do Subarus, com vendas em junho de 7658. Enquanto a Subaru não separa 2.0 e modelos híbridos nas contagens mensais publicadas, os modelos 2.0 compõem a grande maioria dos Crosstreks comprados. O híbrido foi um carro de sucesso quando você considera que era o primeiro híbrido dos Subarus. Tinha muita atenção, era uma nova tecnologia, um mini SUV com tração nas rodas com boa distância ao solo, e cabia no Subarus prático, e muito demografia verde. Então, o que deu errado? Um motivo pelo qual o carro não vendeu foi preço. Embora estivesse muito bem equipado (talvez seja demais), o modelo de pano híbrido modelo MSRP de 27245 era 1300 mais do que o topo da linha Crosstrek 2.0 Limiteds 25945 msrp eo preço da etiqueta Hybrid Tourings 30845 foi um enorme aumento de 4900 em relação à Limited . Os híbridos estavam melhor equipados, mas ainda assim. Sim, o Híbrido foi mais fácil com o seu motor secundário com 15hp alimentado por bateria, mas a maioria dos compradores da Crosstrek não esperava um carro de performance, e sim, os híbridos eram mais silenciosos do que as versões 2.0, mas os compradores da Crosstrek necessitavam necessariamente de um silêncio silencioso. O que os compradores híbridos analisaram era a classificação da economia de combustível e eles não conseguiram superar isso. Eles vieram ver um HÍBRIDO com alta economia de combustível, uma roda motriz, prática, orientada a utilidade, decente montando Subaru para sua família, cachorro, camping, esqui, jardinagem e comutar o estilo de vida. Eles esperavam 40mpg, todas as rodas motrizes e uma barraca de tejadilho. A questão real, ou pelo menos uma das questões, foi que Hybrid foi vítima do que eu penso como o efeito Tribeca. O Tribeca foi inicialmente comercializado como um passageiro de 7, e enquanto tinha 7 lugares era realmente um 52, e por isso, eu quero dizer, não é um verdadeiro passageiro. Em 06, quando o Tribeca foi introduzido, as pessoas vieram ver o Subarus primeiro 7 lugares esperando algo parecido com uma minivan ou pelo menos Explorer, Pilot ou 4Runner etc, e deixaram desapontado com a falta de acesso e espaço funcional da 3ª linha. Não era um bom passageiro, e se o carro tivesse sido cobrado como um 52 (ou seja, um assento para 5 e mais 2 em uma pitada, por assim dizer), as pessoas teriam tido impressões positivas muito mais positivas e importantes. Eles saberiam o que esperar quando entraram. E sim, o primeiro motor Tribeca 3.0L foi insuficiente e levou gás premium, e o carro era um pouco caro, e o aspecto da grade 3 estava polarizando (embora eu gostasse). Alguém perde o sistema bluetooth BlueConnect Pense o mini caminhão Subaru Baja com uma largura de porta traseira de 47 quando uma folha de madeira compensada é 48. Enquanto o Subaru sempre fez carros de alta qualidade, se fosse um pouco diferente, o Tribeca foi apenas comercializado e a Baja Não seria vendido como um caminhão com uma largura de 47 portas traseiras. Em retrospectiva, assim como o híbrido. Em uma idade de 40 mpg Priuses gritando alto híbrido híbrido híbrido HÍBRIDO, o Crosstrek era uma natação de minnow com baleias. Foi avaliado em 1mpg combinado mais do que as versões do Crosstrek 2.0, e assim como com o Tribeca, os telespectadores da primeira vez que visam Subarus Hybrid disseram, por quê. Por que eu gastaria muito mais para obter tão pouco. Os modelos 2016 2.0 estão atualmente classificados em 2634 30 mpg combinado contra o híbrido em 3034 31 mpg combinado. Sim, o híbrido mais cedo possível é mais fácil (tipo de), mais silencioso, melhor equipado e principalmente VERDE, mas não é muito HÍBRIDO. Simplesmente não. Subaru disse que era híbrido, mas que não foi suficientemente longe para mudar as expectativas. Talvez, se o Subaru o chamasse, o Crosstrek 15 (para a útil 15 hp adicional), ou o Crosstrek Plus (mais mpg, mais silencioso, além de extras, etc.), ou apenas as pessoas Green Crosstrek teriam mais receptivo. Mas nomeando-o, o Hybrid and Hybrid Touring levou os telespectadores da primeira vez pelo caminho errado, esperando encontrar o MPG alto, e eles não pareciam uma segunda vez porque logo ao lado dos lotes de carros estava o menos dispendioso e igualmente capaz de rodar toda a roda Crosstrek 2.0, Que eles compraram e ainda estão comprando em quantidade. (Divulgação: tive dois Crosstreks, um 13 e agora um 16 e me agrada). Soltar o híbrido significa que o Subaru pode se concentrar, e fazer mais, modelos 2.0. Isso é uma coisa boa. Outro bom é que, se você quer um Híbrido Crosstrek, é um ótimo carro, bem equipado, tem uma barra de tejadilho e uma distância ao solo, e é verde, e ainda está disponível. Subaru tem algo planejado para substituí-lo (um plug-in) chegando, mas exatamente o que será, e quando, é uma pergunta. E quando Subaru sai com o novo passageiro 7 em alguns anos, espero que não haja um efeito Tribeca. 72016 2017 Brochuras de folhetos disponíveis nos concessionários 71716 2017 BRZ detalhes e preços anunciados e pedidos agora disponíveis Subaru está intensificando o jogo, esperando entusiasmar os entusiastas da condução e revigorar os carros esportivos BRZ de venda lenta com pouco mais poder, manuseio melhorado, interior atualizado, E Paackage de desempenho opcional.

Mas Subaru diz agora que o SIA (Subaru of Indiana Automotive) está fazendo mais Outback e Legacy, o suprimento deve aumentar. Isso é bom, mas as corporações da Subaru precisarão restringir-se para não inundar o mercado com carros, porque parte do fascínio de Subaru tem sido que eles são populares, podem ser difíceis de obter e vendem rapidamente. Uma vez que cada revendedor tem um monte de estoque não vendido sentado nos lotes, a Subaru se tornará apenas uma outra empresa onde o revendedor precisa vender os carros (em graus variados) para mover o fluxo constante de inventário que a empresa exige que eles tomem (e Vender) Subaru já possui baixas taxas de financiamento a partir de 1,49 no Forester, Outback e Legacy 2017, que estão apenas começando a chegar. O líder de vendas para junho é o Outback, que é o líder de segurança Subarus com os novos recursos de 2017, incluindo travagem automática reversa e avanço de faróis de alta viga. O novo topo da linha, totalmente equipado, 2017 Outback Touring está agora disponível, com couro marrom, trilhos de telhado padrão de baixo perfil e acabamentos e badging de cromo. O Outback Touring, com preços de adesivos aproximados (e às vezes excedentes) de 40.000, está apontando para o extremo inferior da parte baixa do mercado de carros de luxo (ou premium). O Forester de 2017 obtém algumas atualizações tão necessárias, incluindo o Detector de pontos cegos, o Cross Traffic Alert, a última versão do Eyesight e o isolamento aprimorado para um passeio mais silencioso. Os modelos WRX e STI são tão populares como sempre, e o fornecimento está melhorando.

But its the best May ever, and the 54th consecutive month of sales increases. Usually May is usually the start of the current model sell-down as arrival of the new model approaches, but this year Outback and Legacy sales were hobbled by a month long stop saledo not drive recall to replace defective steering columns and then a last minute website glitch over Memorial Day weekend that prevented dealers from searching inventory. The 2017 Outback, Legacy and Forester are all still expected to start arriving in July. WRX and STI will be on lots the first week or so of June. June 2016 sales start with the same interest rates as the May, so Subaru is not concerned at this time about clearing the 2016s before the 17s arrive.

That was fast. the model features, prices, colors, and most option and accessory details were just released yesterday and orders are already available today Usually theres a little more time than that between info release and order availability. Perhaps Subaru marketing is pushing this out hoping to quickly to bring people back into the dealerships and also to create blog talk and news as a distraction from the Outback and Legacy stop saledo not drive steering column recall. The recall is getting widespread attention, as well as slowing down sales at the dealers and even production of those models in Lafayette. I wonder if 2017 OutbackLegacy model info and ordering will be pushed back to make up for time lost, and if there will be a new, strong incentives on the 2016 Outbacks (0 for example) to bring people back in.

Watch until the end when the STI 51616 The Outback and Legacy Stop SaleDont Drive steering column recall quickly changes production plans at SIA in Lafayette. Subaru is slowing down new car production in order to ship correct replacement steering columns to dealers. They know people are driving a rental while their new car has been towed to a dealer. Well have to wait and see if this affects peoples opinions of their new car and purchase experience, and also how it affects the arrival of the 2017 models. Subaru is cutting back on production and overtime at its Indiana plant to free up parts for a big recall. The car-maker has to fix a steering problem in more than 50,000 new Legacies and Outbacks made in Lafayette. Subaru has more than 4,000 workers in Lafayette, its only factory in North America. Thanks to this recall, as many as 3,000 of them may miss out on daily and Saturday overtime for the next few weeks. Factory VP Tom Easterday says thatll free up parts to repair steering issues in 2016 and 2017 Legacies and Outbacks ones made at the plant between February 28 and May 6. So any parts that were scheduled to be used for the overtime production, those parts will now be shipped directly to the dealer to help out with our customers that would need to have the part changed, Easterday says. That means less production and lower inventory until mid-June, which could affect sales. But he hopes theyll make it up and let workers make up the overtime later this year. Thats when the factory plans to add more Outbacks and new Imprezas to its production lines. Easterday says theyve hired a thousand new workers to make those vehicles, with 200 more set to be hired in June. He doesnt expect the recall to slow that process. the original article 51416 Whoa. Subarus parent company Fuji Heavy Industries steps behind the curtain and with a wave of the magicians wand, will reappear on April 1, 2017 (next year) as Subaru Presuming stockholder approval, the company, which has had a number of identities and products over the 60 since it became Fuji Heavy, will rebrand itself with the name of its best known product, Subaru. With Subarus recent growth, many new Subaru car owners are not familiar with the company, they dont know and never heard of Fuji Heavy Industries. In the past few years, Subaru brand pressure washers, generators, and lawn mowers with Subaru engines (previously known as Robin America) have been sold at Costco, Home Depot etc. Subaru would like their other divisions to benefit form their reputation. So Fuji. er Subaru. wants you to know theyre more than a car company. a bit of background. Fuji, not to be confused with Fuji the film company, makes small engines, car parts, industrial machinery, parts for Boeing, helicopters for the Japanese Self Defense Force, Raytheon Hawker, and Eclipse Aviation business jets but theyre best known for Subaru cars. Fuji Heavy Industries traces its roots to the Nakajima Aircraft Company, an early Japanese aircraft company and leading supplier of Japanese fighter components during World War II. That explains Subarus use of the aircraft heritage boxer engine in their cars. At the end of World War II, Nakajima was broken up by the Allied Occupation government into separate companies. On July 15, 1953 five of the companies, Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha Kogyo, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, Utsunomiya Sharyo and Tokyo Fuji Sangyo formed Fuji Heavy Industries.. On a side note, another part of Nakajima evolved into Prince Motor Company which in 1966 merged with, and is now known as, Nissan and was the minority stockholder in Fuji. Subaru minority ownerpartners included Nissan with 20.4 from 1968-1999, GM from 1999-2005, Toyota from 2005 to the present now holds 16.5 of Fuji. In 1989 Subaru and Isuzu opened the Subaru Isuzu Automotive factory in Lafayette, Indiana. When Isuzu sold their part to Subaru in 2001, it was renamed Subaru Indiana Automotive and is still where all Outbacks and Legacys are assembled. All Bajas were also assembled there with Isuzus unused capacity. Then Toyota assembled Camry there until last year. Current SIA expansion plans will have the plant producing Imprezas by the end of this year. Confused Fuji no doubt hopes to simplify things by being Subaru - a name we know. Heres the official press release Tokyo, Japan - Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo President amp CEO: Yasuyuki Yoshinaga) today held an extraordinary meeting of its Board of Directors and resolved to change its company name to SUBARU Corporation with effect from April 1, 2017 (tentative date). Implementation of the name change is subject to shareholder approval for amendments to the Companys Articles of Incorporation at the 85th General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 28, 2016. The origins of FHI date back to the foundation of the Aircraft Research Laboratory (later to become Nakajima Aircraft Co. Ltd.) in 1917. After going through a number of reorganizations, FHI was established under its current name in 1953. Since then, the Company has expanded its businesses ranging from aerospace and industrial products segments to its primary business of Subaru automobiles which began with the introduction of the Subaru 360 minicar in 1958. Today, the Subaru automotive business operates in more than 90 countries worldwide and continues to achieve strong growth thanks to the support of its customers around the globe. For the fiscal year ending March 2017, Subaru projects its global vehicle sales to exceed one million units (1,050,000 units on a consolidated basis) for the first time in its history. In its mid-term management vision Prominence 2020 announced in May 2014, FHI set a corporate vision for 2020 of being a high-quality company that is not big in size but has distinctive strength. To this end, the Company is focusing on two initiatives: enhancing the Subaru brand and building a strong business structure. FHI is taking the opportunity of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 founding of Nakajima Aircraft to change its long-familiar company name and unify it with its brand name. The purpose of this shift is to further accelerate our efforts to enhance the Subaru brand and achieve even greater growth for Subaru as a distinctive global brand in the automotive and aerospace industries. Under our new company name, we will continue to seek sustainable growth by offering Subarus distinctive value of Enjoyment and Peace of Mind to customers worldwide, pursuant to our management philosophy of aiming to be a compelling company with a strong market presence built upon its customer-first principle.

Subaru was the first brand to use a Japanese name for its vehicles. The name symbolizes the unity of the six companies related to Nakajima Aircraft that merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries. 51316 Recall and Stop SaleDo Not Drive on some new 2016 and early production 2017 Outbacks and Legacys assembled after February 29th that might have a bad steering column. Recall WTD-65 Around 52,000 (48,500 U. S. and 3,500 Canadian) 2016 and early 2017 Outback and Legacy might have an improperly manufactured steering column that can come loose resulting in a loss of steering and control. Vehicles assembled within the production dates and VIN range have to be visually inspected by a Subaru dealer. Subaru is first working to inspect cars already purchased and being driven. This is a Stop SaleDo Not Drive recall where dealers cannot sell or test drive vehicles until they have been inspected and the steering column replaced if necessary. The problem was discovered May 3 when the owner of a 2016 Outback reported trouble. Subaru says there have been no crashes or injuries. If necessary, dealers will make arrangements to send a technicians to a customers location to inspect the steering column. If they werent manufactured properly, they will be replaced starting in mid-May. The company will offer loaner cars until parts are available but some people whose cars arent driveable havent even gotten their license plates or their new car purchase experience survey yet. Subaru of America spokesman Mike McHale said. We have the details of the owners and are contacting them directly, he said. Subaru does not know how exactly many cars will have the problem. The problem affects cars worldwide, but McHale said he did not know the number.

If you have a Subaru, recalls are noted on your MySubaru account. From NHTSA An incorrect setting of a tool used in production of the steering column may have resulted in improper machining of one of the steering column shafts. If this improper machining condition exists, the steering column shaft may not engage properly. If this were to occur, the steering wheel may rotate freely and the driver would lose the ability to steer the vehicle. (steering column) Production Dates Feb 29, 2016 - MAY 06, 2016 To remedy this condition, it is necessary to inspect the lot number of the steering column. If the vehicle contains a steering column with one of the affected lot numbers, the steering column must be replaced.

No 2017 model changes have been announced or confirmed yet though there are many rumors. 2017 orders should be available in early to mid May. 42 March sales increase (just barely). 49,285 which is another record, its the best March ever, but it just barely exceeded March 2015 by 174 cars (March 2016s 49285 to March 2015s 49111). Subaru is extremely proud that this is the 52nd month of sales increases and the 25th month with sales over 40,000. And 2016 YTD 132,281 is another record, with 1,116 cars or 1 over 131,281 cars YTD March 2015 (which was the previous best first quarter). March 2016 by model Outback saved the month. All models are down except the WRXSTI (up 226 cars), and Outback (up a strong 1618 cars, 13). The big declines were Forester -5 and Legacy -10. The 2016 Forester is starting to wind down and the popular Eyesight is hard to keep in stock, and the Legacy is a great car that cant grab a big market share. But watching these numbers go up or down every month is like watching a boat. it rocks up and down with the waves but whats important is if it keeps moving ahead. Subaru makes a great car, and likes the big lead-in best month ever story line, the monthly growth is what makes data crunching marketers and big desks happy, but the real story unfolds at the end of the book, on the last day and page of the year. was it a good year, hopefully it was as good or even better than last year but whats important, what got Subaru to be the larger company it is today, is if Subaru made a better car this year than last year, were there fewer recalls than previous years, and did they hold their own against the rising tide of competitors jealous of and completely imitating their advertising and style and targeting their AWD market The auto industry analysts and survey companies only like sales increases, ie theyd bet on the hare. But not every month or year has to have growth be better for it to have been a success, ie growth is good but is not the only measure of success. Coming months Many Forester buyers want hard to find Eyesight models, or are waitinghoping for the coming 17s to have blind spot detection, and many Impreza buyers will wait for the all new 17 model due later this year (Android Auto and Carplay). Crosstrek buyers have bought everything available. Outback and Legacy models will start clearing out as 17s get closer, due this summer the month Forester 14,284, down 683 (-5) from 14,967 315.

Then drive calmly for the first mile or so. I would recommend that always always always. whether a brand new car or an old one, if you want a car to last, treat it nicely when its cold. Heres a Q amp A from the Bend Oregon Bulletin at bendbulletinbusiness4105648-151warming-up-subaru-not-necessary Q: I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza. I have to wait until the blue thermostat light on the dash goes off before I drive the car. Do you think this is necessary It seems like a waste of gas. A: It is a waste. When the engine is first started, this light will be red for a moment during its self-test, then turn blue until it goes off when the engine is sufficiently warmed up as per the Subaru owners manual. Does this mean you shouldnt drive the car until the blue light goes off Subaru would like you to wait, but I dont think its necessary. Like any engine, 15 to 30 seconds of initial warmup, unless temperatures are extremely low, then operating the vehicle gently until it is sufficiently warmed up is the best and most efficient way to bring the catalyst system up to temperature to minimize emissions and maximize fuel efficiency. Id consider the blue light a reminder, not a mandate. 31216 2017 Impreza to be shown at the NY Auto Show March 23 This is will be Subarus first US car on their new Global Platform that will become the underpinnings for future Subaru. What to look for in a new Impreza Slightly larger Longer wheelbase for a smoother ride and bigger back seat More practical 5 door cargo door and body design. Its tight in the current the Impreza 5door and Crosstreks due to the aerodynamically focused slope of the rear gate. More integration of the safety technologies - Eyesight and Starlink internet connectivity. And hopefully with scheduled US production and other benefits described below, Subarus will keep the same price points. Heres the press release Tokyo, March 7, 2016 Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, has unveiled an overview of the Subaru Global Platform, which is currently under development as the architecture to be used for all the Companys next-generation vehicles. The Subaru Global Platform is part of the six initiatives to enhance the Subaru brand described in the Companys mid-term management vision, Prominence 2020,announced in 2014. Together with the horizontally-opposed engines, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), and EyeSight that represent Subarus core technologies, the new platform will constitute the basic foundation of the next generation of Subaru vehicles. Marking the launch of the new concept, FHI President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said, The Subaru Global Platform lifts Subarus automotive technology to new heights, and marks the next step in the evolution of Enjoyment and Peace of Mind, the value that Subaru offers to its customers. This new platform represents the culmination of the know-how we have developed over many years, and we are confident that it will allow us to produce vehicles that live up to our proud traditions and meet the high expectations customers have of Subaru. We continue to work on designing ever-more attractive vehicles that offer the customer both enjoyment and peace of mind. Main Features of Subaru Global Platform The next-generation platform is designed with the future in mind, and looks ahead to 2025. The main features include: Subarus biggest-ever enhancement in overall vehicle performance 1. Emotionally engaging Dynamic feel that goes beyond high performance 2. The worlds highest levels of safety Single design concept for development of all models, adaptable to electrification in the future Subarus Biggest-ever Enhancement in Overall Vehicle Performance 1. Emotionally engaging Dynamic feel that goes beyond high performance. The new platform will make possible a new type of driving experience, appealing directly to the senses and offering unparalleled smoothness and comfortall backed up by excellent performance and specifications. Specifically, the new platform will further refine Subarus dynamic feel in the following areas: (1) straight line stability, (2) noise and vibration suppression, and (3) comfort. (1) Straight line stability The new platform dramatically increases rigidity throughout the body and chassis (a 70 to 100 increase over present models) and incorporates substantial improvements to the suspension system and achieve a lower center of gravity, bringing about highly responsive steering that allows drivers to control the vehicle precisely as they want. The eradication of unnecessary movement in handling makes the car seem to grip the road surface, achieving a traveling performance that looks ahead to the need for enhanced straight line stability in the autonomous vehicles of the future. (2) Noise and vibration suppression. Optimized frame structure and stronger joints between parts allow the new platform to improve overall torsional rigidity by 70 over present models. This distributes the resonance and distortion throughout the body, greatly reducing vibrations from the steering wheel, floor, and seats. It achieves a quietness that goes beyond vehicle class. (3) Comfort The new platform increases the rigidity of the suspension mounting, improving the absorption of the suspension without warping the body of the car, and providing a smooth and comfortable drive whatever the irregularities in the road surface. By mounting the rear stabilizer directly to the body, the new platform reduces the body roll of the vehicle by 50 compared to present models. 2 The worlds highest levels of safety Active safety - The new platform achieves a center of gravity that is 5 mm lower than present models. Together with the major improvements in rigidity and the evolution of the suspension system, this lower center of gravity makes possible a more stable driving experience than ever before, and offers outstanding danger avoidance capabilities on a level with a high-performance sports car. Passive safety - Thanks to a frame structure that enables more efficient energy absorption in the event of collision and the enhanced body rigidity resulting from the increased use of high-tensile steel plates including materials formed by the hot press method, impact energy absorption is improved by 40 over present models. The platform anticipates further improvements in strength and new materials and has the potential to continue to offer the worlds highest levels of collision safety even in 2025. Single Design Concept for Development of All Models, Adaptable to Electrification in the Future - The new platform will offer a single unified design concept for all Subaru models. Planning the main specifications of all vehicle types at one time and flexibly adjusting these basic specifications to match with the requirements of different models will strengthen the entire Subaru lineup while still allowing the Company to develop models that take advantage of each models strengths. The new concept allows one design concept to be adapted not only to gasoline engines but also to hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids, electric cars, and other types of alternative power units for which demand will increase further. Development based on a single design concept makes it possible to use limited development personnel and facilities efficiently to develop a diverse range of models and to direct the resulting savings into areas that can make our products more competitive. It will also become possible to produce platform components for multiple models in the same one production facility, rather than manufacturing them in different factories as has been the case in the past. This will increase production efficiency at Subarus factories and at our partner companies. The new unified design concept will also make it easier for our two factories in Japan and the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in the United States to carry out bridge production of multiple different models on a single line, making our global production system more flexible. The Subaru Global Platform that offers these benefits will be used in the development of all Subaru vehicles from now on, beginning with the next-generation Impreza, due to hit the market in 2016. FHI remains true to its management philosophy - to become a compelling company with a strong market presence on the basis of customer-first policy. The Company will continue to pursue engineering excellence and offer its customers Enjoyment and Peace of Mind to achieve FHISubaru distinctive presence Heres the original press release fhi. co. jppressfileuploadsnews-en0307-Subaru-Global-Platform-en1.pdf Heres an article from Chris Bruce at autoblog Subaru will follow a current industry trend by introducing a modular chassis later this year, and the so-called Subaru Global Platform will underpin all of the Japanese automakers future models. Well see it first on the new Impreza, which will go on sale in the second half of 2016. Subaru claims its new platform offers 70-100 percent greater rigidity compared to the companys current models, and the stiffer chassis means less vibration travels through the vehicle to the steering wheel and seats, which results in an easier time for the driver. A 40-percent increase in impact energy absorption should also mean improved safety. Customers might experience a more exciting drive from the future Subarus, too. The company claims the new platform lowers the center gravity by 0.2 inches, which should sharpen handling. The engineers now mount the rear stabilizer directly to the body, which is said to reduce body roll by 50 percent over current models. It also supports hybrid, plug-in, and EV drivetrains to adapt to the future. After the Impreza lets us experience the Subaru Global Platform later this year, the company already has other models with it under development. For example, the XV Concept from Geneva hints at a sharper look for the next-gen compact crossover. The new WRX reportedly joins the range in 2017 and possibly gets an extra boost from hybrid power. A seven-passenger CUV also joins the US lineup in 2018. So much new product on the way could let Subaru keep up its brisk sales pace for years to come. the article autoblog20160307subaru-global-platform-future-models Heres an article from Automotive News Subaru is embarking on engineering, design and technology overhauls to keep the small-scale, niche brand competitive in a global industry in which high volumes matter like never before. The first two changes will debut in the next-generation Impreza small car arriving in the second half of the year: a new modular platform Subaru says will improve safety and driving performance, and a new design language dubbed Dynamic X Solid to enliven the brands image. After those moves, Subaru will roll out new automated-driving technologies beginning with a traffic-jam autopilot. Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Subaru-maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. said the new technologies and design language are pillars of his plan to boost global sales to 1.1 million vehicles in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. We want to further extend Subarus strengths, Yoshinaga said while unveiling the initiatives at Fuji Heavys headquarters here. The new platform aims to cut costs while improving safety and dynamics. Executives repeatedly said they benchmarked top European brands and compared the new platforms high-speed emergency evasive handling to that of German sports cars. Dubbed the Subaru Global Platform, it will underpin all the brands nameplates. It can accommodate gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric drivetrains. Subaru expects to save money because it will be possible to produce components for multiple models at any one factory. This will enable Subaru to shift production among factories in the U. S. and Japan quickly to adjust to changing demand. Subaru can also focus its limited personnel and engineering resources on variations of one platform. The new platform should be able to underpin Subaru vehicles through 2025 with regular improvements, executives said. Subaru aims to channel savings into better performance, said Tetsuo Onuki, vice president of global engineering. The goal is a better product without raising sticker prices, he said. Among the improvements: Body rigidity improves 70 to 100 percent. Center of gravity is lowered for better handling. Collision impact absorption improves 40 percent. Noise and vibration is reduced 15 percent. Starting with the car coming out this year, we will advance to the next level, using the new Subaru Global Platform to provide Subaru with more safety and fun every year, said Naoto Muto, executive vice president for global engineering. More dynamic styling is part of the improvement. The new looks were first explored in the Viziv 2 Concept in 2014 and fleshed out in the Viziv Future Concept crossover and Impreza Concept shown in October at the Tokyo Motor Show. The design language beefs up the stance and body volume to imbue the cars with a more rugged, sporty aura. The front fascia is more chiseled the fender flares are more muscular. Subarus safety strategy also entails new autonomous driving targets based on the brands camera-based EyeSight system. Next year, Subaru will introduce a new traffic-jam assist function that will allow the vehicle to start and stop automatically in slow traffic and steer automatically around curves. Subarus current system requires the driver to re-engage acceleration manually once the vehicle has stopped. Existing technology does not feature automatic steering. By 2020, Subaru said it will introduce a semiautonomous highway driving function. That system will enable automated lane changing and automated steering around curves, by combining radar sensors and GPS mapping with EyeSight. Subaru is relying on the changes to stoke its surging sales for continued gains. Subaru targets its eighth straight year of record sales and ninth year of growth in the U. S. in 2016. U. S. sales are expected to increase 5.5 percent to 615,000 vehicles. the original article autonewsarticle20160312OEM03303149991how-subaru-plans-to-stay-competitive 3916 April advertising campaign.

This years prizes which promote science literacy by showcasing the importance of outstanding science writing and illustration recognize the work of four authors as well as an illustrator. AAAS is pleased to join with Subaru to celebrate these outstanding science books and authors, said Alan I. Leshner, chief executive officer of AAAS and executive publisher of its journals, Science, Science Advances, Science Translational Medicine, and Science Signaling. By encouraging young people to engage with the world through exploration and discovery, the winning books help lay the groundwork for a lifelong relationship with science. The 2015 prizes recognize efforts in four categories: Childrens Science Picture Books, Middle Grades Science Books, Young Adult Science Books, and Hands-on Science Books. Winners will receive 1,500 and a plaque on 13 February during the 2015 AAAS Annual Meeting in San Jose, California. Tom Doll, president of Subaru of America, Inc. congratulated the winners for their outstanding contribution to science writing and illustration. As a technology company, we are delighted to be able to support AAAS in activities that promote childrens exploration of science and technology, he said. The prizes are administered by the AAAS review journal, Science Books amp Films (SBampF). SBampF editor-in-chief Maria Sosa noted that the 180 books considered for the prize across all four categories represented the largest number of submissions since the programs inception. This years competition was intense, she said. Publishers and authors have certainly upped their game with this years offerings. It bodes well for the integration of reading and science in formal and informal science education. These books make it easier to connect the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core Standards, said Shirley M. Malcom, head of the AAAS Directorate for Education and Human Resources. These books provide solid science information in really enjoyable packages. Its refreshing to be able to avoid the tradeoff between reading for pleasure and pleasurable reading for information The 2015 prize recipients are: WINNING CHILDRENS SCIENCE PICTURE BOOK - Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes, by Nicola Davies. (Illustrations by Emily Sutton.) Somerville, MA: Candlewick, 2014. WINNING MIDDLE GRADES SCIENCE BOOK - Mission: Mars by Pascal Lee. NY: Scholastic, 2013. WINNING YOUNG ADULT SCIENCE BOOK - Extreme Medicine: How Exploration Transformed Medicine in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Fong. NY: The Penguin Press, 2014.

NY: Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 2014 Background on the Prizes The prizes began in 2005 when four lifetime achievement awards were given to authors of childrens science books. It honored authors whose books promoted science literacy. Today, the AAASSubaru SBampF Prize for Excellence in Science Books continues to recognize stand-out science books. Finalists were selected by a group of judges made up of librarians, scientists, and science literacy experts. Out of nearly 180 books up for consideration across all four categories, the judges selected 13 finalists. These finalists were then submitted to a second round of judging, and the winners were selected. the press release 12216 advertising Subaru a sponsor of Portlandia with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. Portlandia creators and stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein have teamed up with longtime partner Subaru for a four-part Web series tied to their hit IFC show. In Talkative Driver, Armisen plays an unusually chatty car service driver discussing his every thought with increasingly impatient passengers. Subaru, which has been a partner since the debut of Portlandia in 2011, has been integrated into the show since Season 2. This year we wanted to evolve the partnership a little bit, said Blake Callaway, evp of marketing and digital media at IFC. So we went to the writers room and created this first standalone Web series. In addition to the Web series, which people can watch on IFCs website, Subaru will continue to be integrated in the satirical sketch comedys sixth season. Dos Equis will also come on board, and Geico returns for a so-called near-show integration. the article 114 Starlink app and navigation press release from SEMA auto show in Las Vegas.

É verdade. This is an industry problem, its not just Subaru. Check out the article Consumer Reports did on this issue last June (read the CR article ). The oil consumption (notice its not oil burning) seems to be related to the use of lighter 0w-20 oil in low friction engines that allow some of the oil to be forced by the rings. Its not smelly blue smoke coming out the back and it doesnt seem to be clogging catalytic converters (or at least I havent heard), its just evaporating. It becomes a problem when engines use a quart every 1000-2000 miles or so. Engines use some oil, they always have, and when we changed oil every 3 months or 3000 miles it wasnt as noticeable as it is now that the interval is 6 months or 6000 miles. The low friction engines are designed for improved economy and more power because the engine itself requires less power to keep itself running (low friction turns over easier). progress and new technologies bring both new improvements and new problems. Im not an automotive engineer but this simple explanation seems somewhat reasonable. Engines that are driven harder with fast starts, or with higher compression such as manual transmissions that are revved up or downshifted to slow down, seem to use more oil. Subaru certainly is aware of the problem and is working to resolve it. Check your oil every 2 or 3 gas station visits for example - on flat ground, and after the engine sits while you pump the gas - and if you think youre using oil, contact your dealer and they will start an oil consumption test. updated 24 models included in the settlement include some but not all 2011-2014 Forester CVT transmission 2011-2015 Forester manual transmission 2012-2013 Impreza CVT transmission 2012-2015 Impreza manual transmission 2013 Crosstrek CVT transmission 2013-2015 crosstrek manual transmission 2013 Outback CVT transmission 2013-2014 Outback manual transmission 2013 Legacy CVT transmission 2013-2014 Legacy manual transmission 11 016 Heres the article on the proposed class action settlement Subaru of America has agreed to settle a class action accusing it of knowingly selling cars that have a defect causing them to burn excessive amounts of oil. Subaru has agreed to extend warranties on affected vehicles, and reimburse vehicle owners for expenses related to the defect. On Jan. 4, the lead plaintiffs asked the court to approve this preliminary settlement. This proposed settlement will provide most class members with as much or more compensation as they may have obtained had this case proceeded through certification and trial, the lead plaintiffs assert. The original class action lawsuit filed by lead plaintiffs Keith Yeager and Michael Schuler alleged that Subaru knew that certain models of vehicles had defective piston rings that would cause extra oil to burn off the engine. According to the class action lawsuit, Subaru did not tell consumers about the oil burning defect, and that deception caused car owners to spend considerable money on extra engine oil, but also on engine repairs trying to fix the underlying problem. In addition, the class action lawsuit claims that Subaru improperly denied many warranty repairs, and then, more recently, secretly changed the scope of its warranty coverage without telling affected drivers. Since the original filing, seven other named plaintiffs have been added to the Subaru class action lawsuit, alleging the same defect in different model vehicles and states. To settle the oil burning defect class action lawsuit, Subaru has agreed to increase the warranty on vehicles with the defect from the original 5-year 60,000-mile warranty, to an 8-year 100,000-mile warranty. In addition, Subaru has agreed to compensate vehicle owners for the following expenses: (i) vehicle repairs (including parts and labor) (ii) rental cars (iii) towing and (iv) the purchase of up to six quarts of oil per vehicle. Subaru has agreed to pay 100 of those costs, if claimants can provide reasonable proof of their expenses. Finally, Subaru has agreed to provide a free oil consumption test as well as TSB repairs for any owners or leasers of defective vehicles. The Subaru oil burning defect lawsuit is asking the court to certify a Class of all current or former owners or lessors of defective Subaru models originally purchased or leased in the continental United States and Alaska. Notice of the settlement will be mailed directly to Class Members, who will have to file claims to receive compensation. The actual Subaru models that are part of the potential settlement and details on the claim filing process were not immediately available.

For the record. Subaru sold 48,928 cars in 1976, 183,242 in 1986, sales dropped in the early 1990s but recovered to 120,748 cars in 1996, they sold 200,703 in 2006, and now theyre poised to break 600,000 in 2016 December sales by model 1 Forester - 16,797 Dec 2015 compared to 15,163 1214. 2 Outback - 16,067 Dec 2015 compared to 14,772 1214 3 Crosstrek - 8,090 Dec 2015 compared to 5,482 1214 4 Impreza - 6,059 Dec 2015 compared to 5,808 1214 5 Legacy - 5,759 Dec 2015 compared to 5,457 1214 6 WRXSTI - 3,089 Dec 2015 compared to 2,812 1214 7 BRZ - 412 Dec 2015 compared to 416 1214 2 015 total sales 582,675. Thats an increase of 68,982 or 13 over 2014 total sales 513,693 It was a great year to be Subaru. Subarus share of the total U. S market is now around 3.3 Sales of all models is up up up except the rear wheel drive Scion FRSSubaru BRZ clone. 60 of sales are to buyers new to Subaru Marketing love love love and dogs dogs dogs works. And all the positive reviews. some days it seems Subaru can do no wrong. Now Subaru has to keep these new buyers from drifting to yet another brand when it again comes time for a new car. Subaru can help create loyalty gt the first two oil changes and one tire rotation and 1 new cabin air filter should be included free with every purchase. gt Subarus come with a 3 year36,000 mile roadside warranty, and that service should be extended to cover any other Subarus in the owners name. gt Subaru GTP guaranteed trade program is offered on cars up to 6 years from date of sale, and they could extend that to 8 years to keep older car owners from trying another brand gt loyalty incentives to repeat buyers that can be as simple as a Subaru jacket or something similar, a free 2 year maintenanceoil change program, perhaps a small price or interest rate discount. Crosstreks continue to be the hard to find, an overnight success 3 years after its 2013 model introduction. The new 2016 models 7 upgraded audio and blind spot detection has of course been getting people to take a 2nd look. The base 2.0i and Premium model 6.2 audio system is disappointing. The top selling 2016 Foresters upgraded 7 audio system on all except 2.5i base model, has helped the Forester compete with the 2 selling 2016 Outbacks blind spot detection. The Forester retains the classic straight-forward utility, functionality and safety of the Subarus that helped establish the companys current reputation. It may be square but it works Outback with current safety technology (seat cushion airbags, upgraded eyesight, blind spot detection) and a comfortable, quiet ride is now a car people aspire to. The 2016 WRX and STI are, as always, strong cult favorites, despite missing a 5 door hatchback version since the 2014 model. The WRX CVT is a good compromise for the performance buyer who doesnt want to shift. While the paddle shifters work, they should be made a little more responsive, with a crisper shift response. The Impreza, first offered in 1993, still does well even with competition from its higher sitting Impreza Crosstrek sibling. or perhaps its because of the Crosstrek. Can we say that those early Impreza hatchbacks were the first mini-utes The BRZ is a beautiful car, especially the Premium model which has clean, classic lines without the fussy rear spoiler on the Limited. But its a rear wheel drive car in an all-wheel-drive world and sales continue to drop year after year from the high of 8587 cars sold its first full year (2013 model). I wonder how long Subaru will continue to make it (the answer is. as long as Toyota wants to buy and market them as Scion FRSs) 2015 total sales by model 1 Forester 175,192 for the year, which is an increase of 15,293 or 10 over 2014 159.953 2 Outback 152,294 for the year, which is an increase of 13,504 or 10 over2014 138,790 3 Crosstrek 88,927 for the year, which is an increase of 17,971 or 25 over 2014 70,956 4 Impreza 66,785 for the year, which is an increase of 8789 or 15 over 2014 57, 996 5 Legacy 60,447 for the year, which is an increase of 8177 or 16 2014 52,270 6 WRXSTI 33,734 for the year, which is an increase of 8242 or 32 over 2014 25,492 7 BRZ 5,296 for the year, which is a decrease of 2208 or -29 from 2014 7504 1214 Subaru Ambassador Program grows Subaru supports enthusiasts with the Subaru Ambassador Program begun early this year.
