This is like watching the entire crew of the Titanic react to the news that their "invincible" ship was sinking. Finally getting your reality check?
You should be thanking god that GM is so eager to use your beloved Subaru's cars. Seeing as you all seem to agree that Subaru's new design direction sucks, combined with the fact that EVERY SINGLE GM MAKE now outperforms Subaru in quality and value (

No one knows better how to sell cars (whether you agree with their methods or not) than GM. This is the new automotive era...GM and Toyota now rule the automotive world. Combined they have almost 30% of the world market, plus 15 of the 18 highest quality cars you can buy.
So other than the loss of chances for a low volume, niche type car (like the SVX), tell me what Subaru has to lose by partnering with GM?
