Subaru brand ranked 2nd overall in quality and reliability.

The April 2009 issue of Consumer Reports, (their Annual Auto Issue), ranked the Subaru brand 2nd overall in quality and reliability, right behind Honda and ahead of Toyota with scores of 78, 75 and 74 respectively. That's great news to share with potential customers as evidence of overall brand value in the marketplace.

Also, we have another recommendation from Consumer Reports we can be proud of. Subaru vehicles are recommended used cars, or "Best of the Best", in several categories. Those categories are:

• Small cars: Subaru Impreza
• Family cars: Subaru Outback (6 cylinder)
• Sports and sporty cars: Subaru Impreza WRX and STI
• Small SUVs: Subaru Forester
• Mid-sized and large SUVs: Subaru Tribeca
• Pickup trucks: Subaru Baja

Subaru is recommended by Consumer Reports for every vehicle line for new cars, and also highly recommended as used cars. Consumer Reports makes these picks based on above-average vehicle reliability over a multiple of years, and Subaru clearly has that advantage.

This is a powerful point to make with potential customers in building the brand value in the mind of today's value conscious consumer. Subaru is a great value as a new car, and a great value as a used car too. This means a Subaru vehicle will be sought after by consumers and retain more of its value at trade-in time, resulting in a lower overall cost of ownership. This is evidenced by the excellent ratings we receive from ALG and Kelley Blue Book for resale value.
