Question Do they sell Subarus in Italy?

I've just got back from the Sorrento peninsula after 2 weeks and I didn't see one Subaru of any type whilst there.

I was thinking it would be great for a bunch of Scoobies to go there. The locals would wonder what had hit them! Although I think the Italians prefer looks to outright performance so they might turn up their noses.

After posting the thread I found the Italian Subaru website so that answered that question.

Maybe it was just the area I was in. You saw the odd Ferrari and Lambo but most were Fiat group stuff with manditory scuffs and dents. The BMW Mini was very popular as well, their streets are so narrow there it's pointless having a bigger car unless you really need it.

Lucky bugger. Only been there once, for a day, as part of our honeymoon cruise round the med. & thought it was the best out of all the places we visited during that fortnight.

Well . . . . I believe they do sell Subaru's in Wopaly . . . . .

My former dear Italian colleagues really admired my car, and one even pointed out that he intended to buy his friends Subaru, but he wrote it off . .

And when I showed an Italian girl a picture of my WRX her remark was

" But it isa verya uglya " - followed by intense laughter . .
