[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain what a Subaru can do that any other crossover (= small SUV) like Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4 can't? Exactly, nothing. It's all about advertising and image.[/quote]

So if the three cars are basically the same, why does it bother you so much that people buy Subarus?

I test drove the CRV and Rav4 before buying a Forester in 2015.  I didn't care for the rear cargo space in either of the other cars, and the Toyota had comparatively poor crash ratings.  I don't recall that the mpg was notably different between the three.  But I don't look at CRV or RAV4 drivers and think they are different from me.  We are all regular people with moderate car budgets trying to stop at Home Depot on the way home from work.

Car buying is not an emotional or political decision, and most people don't watch TV ads anymore.  Between many similar cars, the thing that tips the balance could be anything from headroom to color to how much of a jerk the salesperson was.  And if it was marketing that tipped the scales, unclear why you care given that the cars are basically the same.  I think you are creating a reason to be upset about nothing.  Go be mad at Tesla for having abysmal factory conditions instead, at least that is a real issue.[/quote]
