For Subaru the sales figures in the States are still increasing:

Good for Subaru, but is it good for us in Europe?
My 2005 Forester 2.5 XT was a fantastic car; the new series with the 4-AT automatic
gearbox and a much to soft suspension is not a shadow of the former model.

So, with the successes in the USA, the cars will more and more developed for that
market; the experience with the 2.5 XT gives me the idea that's not all to good for us in Europe.

And if you think that Subaru will built a H6 2.4 liter instead of the FB25 for a market
that loves six cilinder engines, then they fail to deliver.

And a real change to standout the crowd.
