Subaru’s new generation Impreza and XV were major sales winners in March, according to official VFACTS figures released today.

Both Impreza and XV retailed 1002 – the latter again best-seller in the SUV Small under $40,000 segment.

March was new Impreza’s first full month of sales since launch and its Australian success is also reflected overseas – in Japan it has sold 24,237 in its first four months, which is around three times higher than original predictions.

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “We’re getting fantastic feedback on Impreza and XV.

“Both are being praised by customers for their combination of economy, style and quality.

“Features like fuel-saving auto start stop and information-packed multi-function displays are capturing customer attention, as are the cars good looks.”

Forester also passed 1000 sales in March, retailing 1071.

Total Subaru sales of 4004 vehicles also included 432 Outbacks, 393 Libertys and 104 Tribecas rounded out the result, which represented a 4.1 per cent market share in March.

I don't and I don't think many other people do either.
The figures tell the story.
I think the other thing is that they are a massive car, almost commonwhore/Falcoon size.
Have a look at their market share year on year for the last few years.
See what happens when you cater to the yanks.
As Tony Montana would say:
In this country, you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Funny you say that, I was driving next to a gen5 Outback in a Magna, and the Outback was a good deal larger than the Magna!

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Gen5 OBK next to a gen4 OBK has a massive difference too.
