    Subaru Running Low On 2014 Foresters

    The 2014 Subaru Forester has been a great success so far. Last month, Subaru moved 9,366 Foresters, representing a 65.3% increase when compared to last year. However, Subaru is worried they might not have enough stock of Foresters to keep up with the demand.

    Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, CEO of Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru's parent company) tells the Wall Street Journal the company originally targeted 8,000 monthly sales, but the SUV could eclipse 10,000 this month.

    "If this situation persists, we'll face a supply shortage," said Yoshinaga.

    At the moment, Subaru dealers currently have a 16 day supply of Foresters. A low number when you consider that industry average is hovering around 63 days.

    Yoshinaga said the company has all of its plants in Japan at full capacity to keep up with demand. An increase in Forester production at the moment is a dream.

    Good for the dealers as they will see higher prices, higher profits. Hope they do not gouge to much on them. Course since it is not American, I would never consider it even if it was something I liked. This car surprises me as I really do not get the SUV at all as the Forrester has always been a station wagon on steroids to me.

    Reminds me of the Eagle auto's.

    GM needs a hit like this in each division that can run less than a month of on hand production. Would be good for job security and solid profits.

    While that may be true Poncho... it is still more interesting than a CR-V or RAV-4 and hits closer to home for them too.

    Mucho Agree Oh. Bland but considerably better than either of the two you mention.

      I think they knew all along and were in denial.  I think that there are a lot of stupid people in our country, but it would surprise me if that many are that stupid.  They needed something to pin their hopes on, like some sort of Anti-Christ, or a scapegoat.  If anything, it could be the beginning of the ending of a very bad era. One very good sign is when Google Maps will show the inscription Gulf of Mexico ... again.  About two weeks ago, the wind blew off a baseball cap I was wearing.  That meant I had to grab my U-Dub baseball cap, which is kind of obnoxious, since it's all purple.  In no time flat, I found a large variety of Gulf of Mexico baseball caps online and for great prices, so I will be ordering one in about a week.  When I was on the ship that sailed out of Tampa in April for that repositioning voyage, there was a human p. o. s. up by the pools talking to someone and wearing a Gulf of America cap.  I wanted to say something, but I held back.  I thought that tacky people took short cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean, but I guess they cross oceans, too.  Money does not buy class.  Coincidentally, the perfect example of it is Agent Orange.  Merry Christmas to those who celebrated as such or happy holidays.  One of the things I will be celebrating with is a new Gulf of Mexico baseball cap.

      Good morning ... ... I think I'm dreaming ... That it's (still) so incredible, that I'd like to be on one, and that I'd like to be somewhere warm and/or beautiful. While probably meant for the Airplanes thread, I thought I'd make it a general share

      This is good to see that high school educated people and those with no education at all are waking up to the fact that Idiot47 has been lying the whole time now that life is tough for everyone. Donald Trump’s approval rating flips with least educated Americans

      This has gotten to scary now that the Gov of Idiots in DC are no longer even trying to hide what they are doing, just going ahead and stealing Americans DNA to build a database to abuse the citizens. Trump's DNA dragnet: The law that turns us all into suspects
