The dealership lets subaru down - no competition between dealers = monopoly.

In Topic: Subaru: Why we changed our AWD-only strategy

It's not a subi - put another badge on it Nick Senior - why can't you guys see the bleeding obvious? Another Tribeca joke coming up.
A subi is:
  • AWD
  • left of centre
  • fun to drive
  • last forever
  • safe (but fast)
The BRZ possibly only meets the last point and only partially (safe - and that is because of ADR) we don't know if it is fast - fun to drive - don't know that yet, last forever - its not a subi why would it? left of centre - no it's an RX8 or something - AWD? no RWD.
It doesn't qualify as a subaru period.
Go out and hire some good marketing types for subarus' sake.

You'll only have it for three years I suppose, so the ford should last that long, straight line top speed - only on a racetrack will you ever see the difference and insurance won't cover that, cornering/handling - smaller is better, wet weather - AWD, gutter hopping - GT - but aside from that and as Morgan says - it's your choice!

Gees, I'd get the GT premium in a flash.

The last ford I had, I buried it in a lake. Good place for it I thought - pity we retrieved it - it looked much nicer with the lower half below the water line....that long station wagon look, lowered and with no wheel arches (in water)....a true thing of beauty.

To get a fair opinion, ask the question in a ford forum too - what do you expect the result to be from here?
