of criticism as to how ugly the 5 door is and why haven't they kept to tradition. These were Subaru owners everywhere having a real go. My question to those people is when they were making 4 door cars that everyone liked so much, why weren't they buying them new to support their beloved 4 door cars ? OK - that's a bit harsh and there are financial reasons why people cannot buy new cars. But Subaru had to move with the times and maybe got a lot of (unnecessary) flack for it. But no one was buying their cars. So they were damned if they did anything and damned if they did nothing. A bad place to be. The problem seems to be that performance cars are now left to the premium brands. If I mention Jag / LR to anyone here, yeap, they're not out and out performance racing cars. But a lot of fast Jags are being sold today - and at big money. I don't know how much Tata is bank-rolling them. But if you want to see a role model of a successful car business, look away from the likes of Fiat, PSA & GM's European arm (Vauxhall & Opel) and look toward the brand that doesn't sell anything for less than 30k. How does that work ? In a recession as well ? So is there this line being drawn between the have's and have not's. My only concern about Subaru leaving this country
