Don't forget that Subaru does not enjoy the kind of following in the US like it does in Europe and Japan. In the US, it is kind of unknown and slightly boring. Ask US buyers, even some car geeks, and all they know of is the Well, here in NE (New England and/or North East, your choice), Subaru is very well known. They are a solid, reliable (and yes, definitely boring) marque (although your typical Subie owner would think of them as just cars). They owned a very nice little niche of practical, af- fordable (solid, reliable, boring, blah, blah, blah) little 4WD "cars" (the "Brat" was *NOT* a truck, disirregardless of how the RMV may have licensed/registered them...) that basically always got you where you wanted to go, weather (snow) notwithstanding. (Parenthetically, I'll add that it was fun to go Porsche-hunting in snow storms with my little 4WD wagon that on good days couldn't get out of its own way if it jumped off of a cliff...). This substantially predated the Quattro. -RDH
