They had them on German Eurosport a few years ago during the Rally coverage!

I've also seen adverts for the Forrester on German TV.

Can't recall ever seeing any Subaru ads on UK TV. They also never used to do paper ads until quite recently.

Just seems a little odd to me that they dont do any adds, It just seems to live off its reputation which i suppose is a good thing in a way as it shows how much these cars are a "wanted thiing", rather than sticking them in everyones faces, on every channel, every advert break.....Ahem (RX-8)

That'll be ITV1 then!

For a long time '97-'99 they really didn't need to advertise. Pretty much every motoring magazine had a scooby related article every month.

Before that, Colin McRae was their advert!

Subaru was seeing 40% year on year growth in the UK until the bug-eye came along When you have growth figures like that, you're not going to waste money on expensive advertising campaigns!

They moved to ITV1 this season

Converage is now only a short slot on Speed Sunday or whatever it is! Better coverage is on EurosportGB each night of the rally, but its usually past my bedtime
