Can someone explain Subaru's big monthly sales gains every month?  Pretty much every vehicle was up big and I just don't get it.. I guess I need to go test drive some of their vehicles. I haven't checked anything out at the dealership since 2005 as their styling started drifting away from what I like starting around 2007.

 

I find it somewhat amazing the the Outback outsold the Forester considering how poorly wagons are thought of by the general populous of this country (unless you call it a CUV, of course).
