Isn't it more along the lines of:"We, the British Public are sick of being ripped off......and buying at £1 =$1.
Also please explain why cars built in Japan GAIN value when shipped here, while those built in the UK LOSE value when shipped to Japan?"

Ha, ha........I bet there's a few Subaru enthusiasts who got quite aroused by the sight of a hunky bloke in a uniform with jackboots!
Let me make this clear - I'm not one of them

If only Subaru employed Alfa stylists

Funny but correct
The marketting /showroom manager was his *** booted over that classic blunder

Subaru

Oh yes let's sponsor the horse shows

NBO oh no too far to travel and I only gave them 6 months notice and have invited them for the last nine years

I wrote a strong letter of complaint to subaru uk and didn't even get an acknowledgement of it
At least pro-r came to the NBO 9

It's a shame as Subaru have made great cars for the last 15 years and the dealers are great

The reason there not selling anymore is the price you pay for one the power is nothing to shout about now adays and the MPG is shockingly crap to be fair when u can get a RS or even a M3 if driving right can give you better figures.

Strangely enough, I was having a conversation with the tech at my local service centre last night, and sadly we are both of the same opinion, that Subaru aren't long for this country.

It looks like our local Subaru dealership has gone bump today. I doubt anyone would want to open a new one around here. The same group also owned the local Mitsubishi dealership and a Peugeot one but I bet they will be snapped up by another car dealership group (probably Westover as they have most of the other marques locally).

The local dealer (Wilsons) who between me and my son, sold us four Imprezas and one EVO IX have tried their hand at Alfa and Lotus as well! Currently, they are KIA dealers (Bet they sell more of those things than everything else?)
