OhBe1 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The rally heritage made Subie cool enough to convince my wife to turn away from the SUV (Jimmy) she was considering.

Siper2 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I said this in the NASIOC thread, but I don't see what's to worry about. The world economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Any wise company will tighten up and eliminate unnecessary costs, on a temporary basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 They've gone in and out of various other rally circuits fairly often if I recall correctly Meh, my car looks like a camry, I'm not too worried about what other people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 when Subaru released the WRX in the US it sold well because of the AWD, Turbo and Rally Heritage. even though WRC isn't a huge sport in the US it was that link to something that wasn't mainstream but cool none-the-less by a manufacturer that certainly isn't mainstream. that's my theory anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 For those curious about Petter.... “Petter Solberg and Subaru have agreed that Petter Solberg is free to enter any brand of the car he elects for participation in the WRC in 2009 and beyond. Petter Solberg will use the nearest future to sort out the possibilities to re-enter the WRC for 2009.” - http://www.pettersolberg.com/html/2008/12/28/pressrelease-from-petter-solberg/ -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2cpc Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I bet Subaru will switch its marketing campaign farther away from racing. Probably towards safety of the cars. Personally, in the States, I would push the domination of Subaru in the North American rally circuit and how well it does in road racing with the ICY team.

SubieDriver Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I agree. I don't hear anything at all about the ICY team unless I go looking. SOA needs to brag it up a bit. Then, using the outstanding results of ICY, they can bring the Legacy STI. Success in rally brought the Impreza STI, so success in road racing can bring us the Legacy STI. Come on SOA - take advantage of ICY's success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on SOA - take advantage of ICY's success! ICY was racing a 05 LG MT wagon initially. Only in MY07 they went for SpecB. Instead of using it to advertise the wagon... SOA dropped MT, and then the wagon altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks GT Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Same fate for the Spec B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Possibly, since '10 won't have a spec B. But supposedly it will have 6MT as the manual transmission choice, and if they keep bilsteins standard on the turbo 4 GT, and the H6-powered model (like 3.0R limited is now) then the regular GT might be on-par with Spec B specifications. Something that pretty much should have happened all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well, which model do we want discontinued next? Whichever one we don't like, have ICY take it racing, and SOA will discontinue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieDriver Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey now, I rather like my Tribeca. It's been rather useful. The Imp GT I'm fine with losing. How about the Outback. If we can get that to go away, maybe they'll bring the Legacy wagon back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
