Chevy Forester Anyone?

Looks like GM will begin selling the Forester as a rebadged GM product (didn't say which one) in India this year according to Crain's Auto News. Coming soon to a dealer near you- Chevy Avalanche Jr.

That must be a good $ deal for Subaru.

Perhaps they'll call it the "Mudslide."

I apologize. This was a request for a source, and you provided one. Whoops.

i always liked the fact that subaru was "nobody's *****" in that none of their cars were sold as rebadged anything.. oh well, i suppose it was bound to happen sometime

Ben mentions Crain's Automotive News in his first post. I went to their website to try and read the article, but you've got to be a paid subscriber. The article list for this weeks issue does mention the article Ben refers to.

Yeah it came from Crain's Auto News, January 20th issue page 46. Its just a 4 paragraph blurp. Article also says subaru is forcasting sales of 208k this year in the U.S. a 15.5 percent increase.

I know he did. I missed that the first time I read his post. My mistake.

No doubt due in part to the popularity of the WRX and the press that the new STi will generate.

I would suspect the WRX hasn't hurt. You figure though the discounts they are gonna give on the Legacy Special Edition. $20,450 for a LOADED Legacy is definately a deal esp when you consider that great ABS system is now standard. Discounted just in time to roll out the next Legacy.
