rao Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It looks like the 2010 Legacy is indeed the best car ever, or people tend to buy cars when you chop several thousand off of the top The Tribeca continues its assult on automotive greatness. http://media.subaru.com/index.php?s=43&item=102 Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 You meant August sales.

Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hmmm, I think they Outback sales were part of "Legacy line". Very confusing wording, but I think they treated Outback as Legacy before for reporting purposes. I don't think BP/BL Legacy outsold the Outback ever in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hopefully the Forester is a profitable car for them to produce, considering it does essentially half their total sales volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Subaru of America, Inc. Reports All-Time Sales Records - The Company Has Record Sales for Best Month Ever - - Subaru Forester, Impreza and Legacy Break All Previous Records - PRNewswire CHERRY HILL, N.J. CHERRY HILL, N.J., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that it had the company's best sales month ever with a 52-percent increase in August sales. The company sold 28,683 units this August versus 18,932 units in August 2008 and had an 11-percent gain year-over-year. Subaru sales for August 2009 also showed a 31-percent increase over July 2009 Subaru sales, which was also a record month for the company. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/SUBARULOGO ) Record-breaking results for three Subaru models include: a 76-percent increase in sales for the Subaru Forester with 11,870 units sold, a 30-percent increase in sales for the Subaru Impreza with 6,590 units sold and a 49-percent increase in sales for the Subaru Legacy with 3,569 units sold for the month. In addition, Subaru received the distinction of being named the only automotive manufacturer with 2009 "Top Safety Picks" for all 2010 models by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To receive the "Top Safety Pick" designation, a manufacturer has to continually improve its crash safety requirements and each product has to be at the top level of crash protection in front, side and rear crash impacts. "While the CARS program helped fuel our August results, the fact that this is our third consecutive record month reinforces that our products have connected with consumers," said Tim Colbeck, senior vice president of sales, Subaru of America, Inc. "Well before our success with the CARS program, we were having great results and I am confident that with the newly introduced 2010 Subaru Outback and Legacy models, we will continue to be successful."

CapnJack Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We must find out who bought the 1 Baja I saw that too. There must have been a Subaru dealer with a brand new 2006 Baja left on their lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
