Re: Subaru launches 2011 Mediocrity marketing campaign
S'funny how stuff that went around comes around - decades later. Many moons ago, in Mad Magazine, (I think) t'was a "feature" that listed products suited for the family that just wanted to be "average", & not stand out.
Testimonials went something like this. "Yup, just got my Robert Hall sport coat, moved into my 3 bedroom 1 bath pre-fab rancher, & splurged on a nice beige '53 Dodge Coronet sedan. Yeah, ya' gotta' be of a certain age to remember Robert Hall. Ron (aging greatfully).

Re: Subaru launches 2011 Mediocrity marketing campaign
The true irony here, is that Subaru 2010 are very mediocre!!! I can barely tell the difference between a new Legacy/Liberty and a new Camry! The WRX looks like every other hatchback and what can I say about the Tribeca.....
Produce a new SVX, re-style the entire range or SHUT UP about mediocrity, Mr SUBARU!!

I still have my Robert Hall blue blazer and my Barney's Boys Town 3-piece suit (1 jacket & 2 pair of pants). NOT made in China, you betcha'. So where do you garage your Dodge Coronet, Larry? Ron (loves the Kohls 80% off rack).

now i can't even get a turbo automatic, or an STi with a DSG transmission, so the goofy styling doesn't even matter.

Re: Subaru launches 2011 Mediocrity marketing campaign
I keep casually looking for a Baja with my name on it (saw one listed recently for TWENTY THREE GRAND! Good grief.), but add me to the ranks of those who have become disenchanted with Subaru. I walked around a new Outback in a parking lot the other day and thought, why do they keep doing this?
And when are they going to introduce something new? Something I'd actually want to buy (if ever I could afford a new car)? In fairness to Subaru, I see very few new cars that are easy on my eyes. dcb |

Re: Subaru launches 2011 Mediocrity marketing campaign
Who's the one who has a japanese crap box in his sig that is in direct competition with the Legacy. From where I'm sitting that kettle looks awfully black.

I'm ok with the new OB but the sedans are boring. They almost make a Camry look good. I drove a new OB a few weeks ago and it was really nice and the CVT was Ok but to get one like I want it would be 30k and it would still be a 4cyl. That is nuts. What ever happened to "Inexpensive and built to stay that way."
