Nice gain, i wonder if Subaru can sell its new line to the sun belt states that would really get them into a nice postion.

On the contrary, Automotive News reports a 0.8% decline in sale compared the same month last year. Check you source, that 26% may be a mistake or just referred to one particular model.

08' Tribeca with a nice clean front end now and a bit more power, should be a nice boost for them.
