The Automotive News article at
http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...#ixzz27MhGBmFZ describes one of the ways Subaru is clearing Forester inventory without resorting to incentives and reports that, as of Sept 1, Forester inventory was down to only 47 days.
The Forbes article at
http://management.fortune.cnn.com/20...source=cnn_bin points out that only Porsche is offering fewer incentives than Subaru because demand for Subarus is so high relative to supply.
Also, I understand that the list of models now excluded from the VIP program has grown pretty long (check with your dealer).
I seriously doubt Subaru will offer better incentives next month. So, if your dealer currently has the car you want in stock, I recommend you pull the trigger now.
