You either have a very short memory or cannot comprehend what you read.
I actually think far less than 2% of the new Impreza's are consuming oil, and I have never said that
every person with an Impreza consuming oil is posting here.
What I wrote was that this thread is the biggest conversation about the subject, and is easily located on Google, which is the most commonly used Search Engine.
I even googled that for you, did you already forget that you are famous, and easily found on Google?
Let me Google That For You
What would be the most common search for someone interested in buying a 2012 or 2013 Impreza, to know if there are any problems? I'll guess for you:
2012 Impreza problems
That's right, second hit, the link with over 100 posts. That would be us, right here, we are famous and pioneers of 2012 Impreza problem talking!
I postulated that the average Subaru Impreza driver is more internet savvy than, let's say, the average Buick driver (or even the average Forester or Outback owner, my bet is the demographic for the Impreza is a younger buyer -- that does not mean NO seniors buy the car, it means the demographic skews younger). So a larger percent of Subaru Impreza drivers were likely to use the internet.
If hundreds or thousands of Impreza owners had cars consuming oil, and a good percent of them were internet savvy, why are there only a small handful of owners here posting about their cars consuming oil? You do not have to do anything special to post here, just join NASIOC for free. If my car was consuming oil, it would not be a stretch to say I would be here reinforcing your theories, even if I had never heard of NASIOC before.
Where is the Consumer Reports expose? They love to identify a problem and do a story about it. They recommended the car, and have a long-term tester. Why aren't they going to press?
Here is another long term tester -- no oil consumption:

The first cars were being driven off the lot in December 2011. There have been over 60,000 sold in the United States and Canada, more overseas...
Let's review the math from before (I guestimated about .16% affected):

I think my math, and theory, based upon the evidence on this thread, already presented, is more on my side than yours.
Have you found more than 10 unique individuals on NASIOC who think their new Impreza is consuming oil? How many others have you run into on the web?
How many Impreza's with this new engine design have been sold?
Please show your math calculations, what percent do you estimate are affected?
How does that affect your theory that the engine design and use of 0W-20 are the cause of your specific issue?
