Did Suburu Once Try to Make a Marketing Push into the South?

I love Subura. That's the Japanese beer, right?

My grandma had an ST6. That was a weird little car.

(no message)

I know the street racing ones have some pull from the car folks

But the normal ones are pretty terrible. I don’t wear tevas sandals either so i probably wouldn’t like them at all

The old WRX STI was a little rocket.

A family from Little Rock moved into our New Orleans suburb neighborhood around the mid-1970’s. They had a kid my age so he became part of our peer group. His dad was a VP, or something similar, with Subaru and the son said he was sent to the area to help Subaru break into the Louisiana market. Toyota was starting to be successful but the AWD Subarus just didn’t resonate with folks in Louisiana. The son was a big fan of Subaru and talked about all the technical advances the company was responsible for, etc and even he was frustrated by the lack of sales. They moved back to Little Rock after about two years.

One cool thing was they had a rotating collection of 2 or 3 new Subarus and got a Brat for a period of time. We rode around in the back and thought it was great.

I used to work with a guy that drove a Subaru and we used to hate on him all the time. Called him a lesbian, told him he only does it because he wants to take care of the environment and called him a hippy. This was during the Subaru push to show how much they cared for the environment.

He finally goes, "just because I drive a Subaru doesn't mean I give a shite"

They have good dog commercials and Darryl Waltrip sells them, so I’d drive one before I ever drove a POS Nissan.

My family owns a Subaru dealership. Consumer Reports rates them high in Owner satisfaction, reliability, dependability and resale value.
