		<description>Forza, if you can&#039;t comply with the code of conduct, why bother posting crap that will only be deleted?

Just more off topic abuse from you!</description>

		<description>Thomo, this is the third time i am responding to your guano because the other two times have been awaiting moderation. This probably proves i am not on the payroll.

But having said that let me make a comment on behalf of Caradvice. If you cant handle what people say, dont get on the website wood duck.</description>

		<description>Forza, you must be a Car Advice employee to get away with such abusive, off topic comments that dont comply with the &quot;Code of conduct&quot;.
Kinda explains why this site is realy starting to turn into a bit of a joke.</description>

		<description>How then does a &quot;Monkey&quot; brand design and build a series of cars all of which have achieved 5 star crash test safety ratings both here and overseas not to mention win a number of World Rally Championships..

Show me another similar size car to the Impreza which offers the safety and assurity of AWD as well as sport-shift auto; 6 airbags; ABS with EBD and VDC; cruise control; power windows; air conditioning for under $25k</description>

		<description>[Your comment is awaiting moderation....I THINK NOT!]

WAS ON POLE!

*****PRIMO!******

The WORST WORST thing that you can do to resale is drop the prices.

Those wanting to trade up will feel the pinch by at least this amount its discounted.

The *ethical* thing to do would be to give the buyers extra kit, or free services etc.

Bad move subaru.

In a nutshell, they ONLY discount prices when they cannot sell them, forget all the bullshit excuses, thats the fact.

For mine subaru is a monkey brand, just like haonda was [who dropped a place in overall sales volume to NISSAN] WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY overpriced and underdone

END-OF-STORY!

Cheers

		<description>Forza was wrong and has nothing, so comes back with what? More abuse!



BTW everyone knows how to spell BRETT. But that is not my name, BRET is a nickname for another name.

And Forza is what? An X-box game? That shows some real intelligence - NOT.

Score 3 - 0 Forza is a loser. Game over.</description>

		<description>As I said just because YOU can&#039;t understand the VFACTS numbers, doesn&#039;t mean others can&#039;t.
YOU ARE WRONG, and you are are too peess weak to admit it so START and continue with abuse.
Telling someone to shove their uninformed biased opinions is NOT abuse - you got caught out, live with it.

I have always had every confidence that my interpretation is correct, but just to appease you I ran it past a couple of scientists (you know the Doctor type), who confirmed it.

Anyway when YOU learn how to read VFACTS come back with something sensible, otherwise I&#039;m over this pointless argument with a dropkick such as you.</description>

		<description>Forza, do you enjoy being a tool?

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Clearly you don&#039;t understand the numbers. If you are that thick then there is no point trying to explain it to you.

Get your teacher to explain statistics and percentages to you when you get back to school.

And no it was YOU who started the abuse, I merely caught you out with a misinformed biased comment. Wrong again, funny that!</description>

		<description>Forza M...you are an idiot. Just a little summary on Subaru and their performance in 2008.

&quot;Subaru has chalked up a milestone of 11 consecutive years of record sales, with 38,492 vehicles registered in a chaotic 12-month period in which many rivals grabbed reverse.

Subaru sales for 2008 were up 0.1 per cent with the Forester regaining its position as the country&#039;s best-selling Compact SUV, with best-ever sales of 14,423 in 2008, up 14.9 per cent&quot;

Fact is, Subaru made gains and increased profit in 2008 compared to other manufacturers.</description>

		<description>Forza, All the abuse in the world still doesn’t make you right.

So how do VFACTS numbers lie? Maybe the idiots guide to to broom broom cars that you read might not show it.

Sept - Dec the overall market declined some 3.9%.

Sept - Dec Subaru market share declined about 3.6%

Oh and BTW as a comparison Toyota (market leader) lost 4.1%

Only a child (or one with a child-like mentality) responds with childish abuse when shown to be wrong. You fit the profile perfectly. When does school go back? Time to grow up.</description>

		<description>Foreskin M.
Nice abuse, particularly as you are still wrong yet again.

The whole market has tanked in the last qtr. Relative to the market Subaru has dropped less than the overall market, therefore has in fact gained market share for the last qtr.

Is that uninformed opinion of yours hurting yet? Or are you used to large things being shoved there?</description>

		<description>KWICKS - I believe this article is wrong.  According to the Subaru website, the Liberty manual is still $32,990 while the automatic is $34,990 (not $32,990, as the article states).  The site does show the decrease in price of the Impreza, however.  I don&#039;t think the car is particularly good value.  While it is reasonably equipped, the transmission is an old 4-speed while every single competitor now uses at least a 5-speed auto.</description>

		<description>Nothing interesting has had a price reduction, like the 3.0L variants or any turbo models.

Still the 2.5i auto Liberty represents excellent value as not long ago it also got standard leather interior, electric driver&#039;s seats and MacIntosh stereo.  It&#039;s just that this particular model is against newer competition in the Accord Euro, regular Accord, Mazda 6, Mondeo, and Passat.

The entry level price reduction should bring new customers to the brand, which is where this price change will be most beneficial to Subaru I suspect.</description>

Please take your uninformed bias and place it where we can&#039;t see it.</description>
