IwannaSportSedan Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 does that mean their website will be commissioned to be ready, and their product brochures arrive before the meager stream of inventory cars arrive on lots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 McHale went on to be head of global public relations for the MINI brand before moving to the US in 2000 to head up the public relations introduction of MINI to the US. this is a very good thing for Subaru. MINI was a non-existent brand and was created from scratch. The marketing behind the cars is top-notch. This can only mean good things for Subaru as long as they hire a talented ad agency, like the one MINI had and VW just hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me that this wasn't a straight copy and paste and the guy didn't put out his first press release (or approve it) with a typo in it... That's just... bad. -Coelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em well actually GM has 3 new RWD cars coming out in 08 as 09s including a RWD impala which will mean with dodge making charger cop cars, ford will have to do SOMETHING to the crown vic or lose all of its cop car business.

Better than the Intrepid cop cars. I wonder how the RWD Impala will sell. You take a big sedan like that and take away FWD, it wont sell the same. My dad got the Aurora in 1995 because it was large and FWD. Weather in PA is not friendly enough to have your primary vehicle be RWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather in PA is not friendly enough to have your primary vehicle be RWD. RWD or not, the Impala better be several grades up from the new one I drove as a rental car. It has more rattles at less than 600 miles than my 10 y.o. Dodge. And the Intrepid cop cars got bad press because some idiot used flammable brake fluid. Who wouldn't pull over for a cop with flaming brakes!? Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdw Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 This does sound like good news but Subaru also needs a new director of product management and needs to behead the unmitigated @$$hole who dropped the LGT wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
