Fine, except that sub-5-second 0-60 times are not what makes a Subaru. ( and I say that as a Subaru fan myself ) A lot of cars, even some other pocket-rockets that compete with the STi, can do that. What makes a Subaru a Subaru is engineering, a unique low-mount, low-center-of-gravity boxer engine, and the world's best AWD systems in the $35,000-and-under class.

Agreed, but that's WAY too much text for an ad!

Can anyone link the ad to which this is a response? I'm totally lost seeing as I don't know what VW ad this refers to

I love Suburu ads. Who has the one where they made fun of the 350Z with their Forester?

LOL, I remember that one. Those cars are seriously no joke either. I've seen timeslips for a Forester XT doing a 13.7 stock.
