Toyota owns 20% of Subaru stock. There's your answer right there. That would have to be one of the largest holdings if no the largest. Toyota probably put their cndidate in as CEO and now their CEO is gone and they are changing alignment, then Subaru will porbably need to follow. The 3 day delay was probbaly to organise a board meeting.

Subaru engines suck anyway, so whatever. Toyota should have used Honda K-series on the GR86. If they were able to collab with BMW for the Supra, they could have done the same for Honda. Imagine if the GR86 had a K-Series: stock internals tune up to 300hp n/a, 400whp turbo. Good luck doing that on its current subaru engine on stock internals.

When the chief of Toyota says battery powered cars are not what they should be doing, maybe we should listen. Hybrid is the way, and they know it. Subaru sells cars that are supposed to be able to get away from it all on remote dirt roads, a concept that seems counter to making the car reliant on being able to plug in to the grid and weigh much more than a fuel powered car. If you want a Tesla, get a tesla, if you want a Prius, get that, and if you want a flat four gasoline engine mounted properly with proper all wheel drive, get a subaru. No need for everybody to stop what they are doing and build Teslas.

The display is tiny and the button are barely visible particularly during daylight. It's impossible to see if the AC is on. I mean, where's the snowflake? Wut?!

Lead acid / AGM batteries are 100% recyclable and that process has been around for decades. There's still room for development of that type for EV duty. Unfortunately, EV manufacturers have promised WAY TOO MUCH and that requires exotic batteries like Lithium Ion and other batteries that are not recyclable. EV cars COULD be easily recycled and still be good transportation. Imagine how Soviet Russia would have built them and do the same. Base it on a Lada Riva or GAZ 24. Built STRONK! Like BEAR! Comrade Boris can fix it, even after getting bent on vodka! The manufacturers must be forced to limit claims on what EVs can deliver. They should be sold as LOCAL COMMUTERS only. Recharge in your driveway and expect to do your errands within a 50 mile radius of your home. That's it. AGM batteries and lightweight unibody chassis should be able to do that.

I bought a 2023 OBW in October. My first Subaru. I absolutely love the car, but it had a couple of odd issues. The dealership sorted them out. I called SOA to see if I could get some additional coverage on an extended warranty I intended to buy. I told my advocate about the issues, and to my surprise, she gave me a 6yr/80,000mi gold plus warranty for free. I couldn’t believe it. I had the first service done last week, and the dealership already had the warranty verification on record.

I'm highly skeptical of the EV craze and have no plans to buy one in the foreseeable future. They don't have much range, virtually no place to charge them in my region, don't work well in the cold, and I'm afraid of the batteries getting wet on snowy roads. My plan so far is to buy a regular Forester again in a couple of years and there after just buy older used cars.

The whole problem with EVs is that they've promised way more than can be delivered. EVs should be marketed as LOCAL COMMUTING ONLY. Charge it in your driveway and expect to do everything within a 50 mile radius of your home. That's all that should be allowed to be claimed. There should be a moratorium on new EV charging stations. Especially in areas where the grid is already at capacity. If you want to tow something or drive further, then gas/diesel/hybrids are available.

Most of the time is was the downloading of the updates which meant they couldn’t start up the tractors.

They are fearless in any type of weather, easy to work on and parts are readily available and affordable. Not long after these models Subaru wanted to become the BMW of Japan and that led to more complicated cars and expanded reliance on technology. I wish Subaru all the best, thanks to those 3 cars I was able to retire. Subaru used to be a forward thinking company so seeing them getting caught off guard by EV’s is disappointing.
