Tell us how you really feel.
I'd like to see the data (decreasing sales, above-average consumer complaints, negative reviews by industry testers, etc) to back up his opinion... it's kind of hard to have 60+ straight month-over-month sales increases, and the best overall resale value of any brand 3 of the past 4 years if you're selling junk...
I've had 4 Subarus, and still have an 01 Forester with 221k and it is STILL more reliable than my 06 Odyssey and at least on par with my 11 Fusion (both of which my wife bought on her own
).
Oh, and while the NA 2.5s are certainly not fast, they are fairly fun to beat on. Plus, slower cars are easier on tires, brakes, gas, etc...
I have a blast tossing my Forester around in the snow with the 50/50 "power" split, and while it does have a good amount of body roll it's predictable. What's more exciting.. going 100 in a Vette, or in a Forester LOL
