Long before all this, Subaru was looked at as an enviromental leader (which is why they were bought and developed the highest owner loyalty). Remember they were and are the only auto company in the world to achieve a 0 emissions factory. Yes that is 0 emissions. Personally, I won't buy from a company that skirts around CAFE standards but then again, maybe I have standards unlike the rest of america. If that's the case I'm sure W. wants me to leave my nookie in so he doesn't have to resort to using the patriot act to shutting me up.  |
I actually agree with you about the Prius. It's overcomplicated and dumb. Why would you make such a thing when diesels already get that kind of mileage? I know that there's a sort of stigma against diesels in this country (and I experienced first-hand why), but come on.
