Not wasting time arguing ab someone in favor of EVs on the forum. It’ll be back and forth.
Subaru didn’t want to pay the fines. Simple as that. So dealer and I could argue back and forth ab what engine and who saw it but the facts are this: Multiple Camden NJ SOA employees saw the Mule sti, and the finished product on multiple occasions over several months in person, Subaru in the end decided to use a 360+ HP engine that was “all new” Subaru pulled the plug when they realized they’d be paying big fines. They ****ed their own most loyal customers over. Simple as that |

Don't you realize that only REAL Subaru loyalists purchase the STI hatchback? That means up until 2007 those other Subaru owners were just riding the bandwagon. They whack. And then in 2014 Subaru fell way off after the hatchback STI was dropped. Double whack. They should just fold as a company. Call it quits, Subaru. Your best days are behind you! No STI sales, no company.

Wait does that mean I'm allowed to have an opinion after all? I was under the impression that was reserved for the '07- crowd.

Absolutely. Not sure how it works if they could even pick production back up to do that for us or whatever; but, I am sure if they knew well enough in advance, they would have come up with a "Final Edition" offering. They were putting a lot of effort towards the SGP STI. There's no way they had any intention of screwing anyone. You don't spend that much money to do that. |

Pretty sure, the STI will have less than half the current problems releasing at a future date after the Solterra is released. Its time for Subaru to spend the money to update their powertrains. Had to happen sometime. Time for the dino's to go into a museum. Its the New Young Families who are in control of the trend for Subaru, as they are within their target market price range. When the economy changes our needs for us as people/customers, you will most likely see Subaru making changes again. Any corporation wanting to continue being a corporation will follow suit in the same way regardless.

Oh mannn, those are easy sells. Im not sure what technicalities are involved but they really only need to make one engine to be shared amongst the rest. Im actually surprised they haven't done so already as far as implementation and only kept it exclusive to the Crosstrek. Just goes to show how tight Subaru is on their current budget.

They have/had an Impreza and Forester Hybrid overseas. It's not as much budget, I think, as what will their American demographic pay for. |

Yeah this thing:
https://www.subaru.eu/boxer-Hybrid That Forester would sell extremely well. I really wonder how much the Feds charge Subaru as far as the amount of trims/models theyre allowed to import or just have to sell within the US. |

F1 is committed to switching engines to synthetic fuels by 2030... Putting all their eggs in one basket, just like Subaru has done in the past will only lead to their demise even faster. Toyota will likely takeover, as many have suspected. |

Were people saying GM would take over Subaru back when they had 20% stake? AND Subaru was struggling a bit? I don't recall anything.
Now, Subaru, minus pandemic, is doing gang busters and it's all "the sky is falling and Toyota will take over". |

No one is saying the sky is falling but it will fall if Subaru go solely electric, that was the only point I was trying to make.

22's definitely not selling in Seattle. Dealerships here are paint matching the ugly fenders to try to get them to sell. Those I looked at online on lotts for over 100 days... in my opinion,they need to make fenders rounded again and paint matched. would look great then

The Subaru customer, besides the base model buyers, will happily switch to EV. |
