			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team line-up announced with drivers Dave Mirra, Bucky Lasek, and Sverre Isachsen -</p>
<div id="news_body_320">
<p>CHERRY HILL, N.J., May 4, 2012 /<a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/" target="_blank">PRNewswire</a>/ &#8211; Subaru of America, Inc. has announced the official sponsorship of sportslifestyle brand PUMA for the Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team.  As part of the multi-year sponsorship agreement with Subaru, PUMA becomes the official supplier of team and racewear and an exclusive licensing partner to the team for footwear and apparel.  As part of the team sponsorship PUMA has developed custom graphics for the three Subaru WRX STI program cars.</p>
<p>The Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team is the factory backed rally team for Subaru of America, Inc., managed by Subaru technical partner Vermont SportsCar. The all-star team consists of BMX legend and professional Rally athlete Dave Mirra; Professional skateboarder Bucky Lasek; and three-time European RallyCross champion Sverre Isachsen.  The team will be competing in the six-round Global RallyCross Championship (GRC) series. </p>
<p>To view the Subaru PUMA RallyCross teaser click <a href="http://bit.ly/JXx9Dx2" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am stoked to have Sverre and Bucky join the team,&#8221; said rally veteran Dave Mirra &#8220;Sverre has been an unstoppable force in European rallycross and will definitely be an asset to the team with his experience and talent. I have known Bucky for years on the X Games circuit, it is great to see another extreme athlete cross over to rallycross; his enthusiasm for racing and fearlessness should be great to watch.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sverre Isachsen, aka The Viking Warrior, has been a motorsports addict his whole life.  After competing in local autocross and rallycross events in his native Norway, he set his sights on the European RallyCross Championship.  After a strong debut in 2002 he dominated the series and was crowned its champion in 2009, 2010 and 2011.    </p>
<p>New to the team, 12 time X Games Skateboarding Vert Medalist Bucky Lasek, is no stranger to the world of automotive racing.  Bucky has competed in the Mustang Challenge series as well as a handful of Porsche Cup races.  He began intensive rally training at Dirtfish Rally School where he honed his all-wheel drive skills behind the wheel of a Subaru WRX STI.</p>
<p>The team will compete in 2012 Subaru WRX STI rally cars that have a fresh new look for rallycross featuring a unique Zombie Cat graphic.  PUMA brings a fun and colorful design aesthetic that, when mixed with the adrenaline of the sport, is sure to excite drivers, fans, and spectators alike. Mirra, Lasek, and Isachsen will sport official fireproof PUMA racing suits emblazoned with Zombie Cat graphics, and a new performance-racing shoe called the PRX Subaru.  PUMA will be releasing lifestyle footwear, tees, and accessories inspired by the team and rally cars beginning in June. </p>
<p>&#8220;The sportlifestyle that PUMA represents is a great fit for Subaru, owners, and motorsport fans&#8221;, said Dean Evans, Chief Marketing Officer for Subaru of America, Inc. &#8220;We are pleased to align with another global brand, and one that will enhance the image and awareness of our rallycross team.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;Subaru builds incredible sports performance vehicles and in working with them, we were able to apply our creative design approach with the graphics and color application,&#8221; said Antonio Bertone, Chief Marketing Officer for PUMA.  &#8220;We are thrilled to be working with Subaru, they have a long, successful motorsports history that matches well with our brand.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rallycross debuted in the United States at Summer X Games 16 in 2010. Modeled after the popular European sport of rallycross, the US version pits drivers against each other for side-by-side racing on surfaces that vary from dirt, asphalt and a 70-foot gap jump.  Competitors progress through a series of timed heats to the final race where winner takes all. Multiple drivers start at once and fight for position in the final four-lap race.  The GRC takes the best attributes of circuit, off-road, and rally racing that results in intense competition in venues that are fan-friendly.  </p>
<p>The six-round 2012 GRC will be in venues across the United States including the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Summer X Games 18 in Los Angeles.  GRC has teamed up with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the IZOD IndyCar Series at popular racetracks to provide weekends of action-packed, racing excitement for the fans.  ESPN will broadcast the races live, channel information and times to be released at a later date. </p>
<p>The first round of the GRC will be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26, 2012.  For more information on GRC visit: <a href="http://www.global-rallycross.com/" target="_blank">http://www.global-rallycross.com/</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p><strong>Portland, Or., May 3, 2012</strong> &#8211; Subaru Rally Team USA driver and defending Rally America Champion David Higgins is full of confidence heading into this weekend’s Oregon Trail Rally, the third round of the 2012 Rally America National Championship. Higgins won the Oregon Trail Rally convincingly in 2011, and enters this year’s event with a firm lead in the 2012 Rally America Championship standings.   Higgins will look to repeat his success in Oregon at the wheel of his BFGoodrich Tires-shod 2012 Subaru WRX STI. </p>
<p>The 2012 Oregon Trail Rally will begin tomorrow, Friday, May 4 with a set of mixed surface stages held at the Portland International Raceway in front of thousands of fans before moving to the scenic farmlands in and around The Dalles and Dufur area on Saturday, May 5 and Sunday May 6, where nearly 100 miles of gravel special stages await the competitors. Higgins and his co-driver Craig Drew will battle over sixty teams in Oregon, the second largest entry ever for the event.</p>
<p>“There is such a big mix of roads here with the race track on Friday, then very twisty and rough roads on the Saturday and the Sunday it&#8217;s like a race track on gravel with some very, very fast roads,” explained Higgins.  “From a driver’s perspective this means there are a lot of changes in rhythm to contend with and that’s before worrying about what the weather might be like.”</p>
<p>Last year at Oregon the team debuted their latest evolution Subaru WRX STI rally car and with the new car Higgins led from the start and took victory by over three minutes.  For 2012 Higgins is in that same STI but the car has been developed and refined further, making Higgins confident a win here is possible again. However, Higgins is keenly aware that a strong points finish, not necessarily a win, would be enough to maintain his position atop the standings.</p>
<p>“Last year was great for us in the new car but the team has kept improving the package little by little and so I’m very happy with the pace we have now with it,” explains Higgins. “It would but great to win the event and stretch our lead in the championship but it is always important to finish.  I plan to drive my normal pace to start and then see if we need to give it that little extra once we get to midpoint. The weather can play a big part but I am happy with my Subaru in all conditions so that should not be a big worry.”<br />
Live online video streaming coverage of rally action and exclusive driver interviews will be available at www.rally-america.com.  Online coverage is scheduled to begin Friday at 6:00pm PDT. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Drivers Feeling Confident for Race at Barber Motorsports Park -<br />
Phoenixville, PA. – March 27, 2012 – Leveraging a two-month lull after the first event of the 2012 GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series, the Subaru Road Racing Team (SRRT) travels to Birmingham, Al., after a productive period identifying and completing refinements on their #35 Subaru WRX STI 4-door race car in preparation for this highly-anticipated race.  This weekend’s event will be run on the popular, 2.3-mile Barber Motorsports Park circuit.</p>
<p>Andrew Aquilante, Chester Springs, Pa., and Bret Spaude, Bushnell, Fl., will share cockpit duties in the race-prepped, 2012 Subaru WRX STI developed specifically to compete in a field of road racing cars developing over 400 horsepower.</p>
<p>“Superior horsepower is always advantageous,” said Joe Aquilante, principal of Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville, Pa., where the SRRT Subaru race units are prepped and maintained, “but the Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive system in our WRX STI is a great benefit on a twisting, hilly track such as this one and negates the power of the V8-engined cars.  We led laps during last year’s race at Barber [Motorsports Park], and our competitive lap times in January at the race at Daytona [International Speedway] drive our confidence.”</p>
<p>“On the twisting infield portions of the Daytona track,” noted driver Andrew Aquilante, “Bret and I were able to outmaneuver most of the field in our Subaru.  We expect Barber to be more of the same.”</p>
<p>Added James Han, motorsports marketing manager for Subaru of America, Inc., “We’re encouraged that the pace from our STI is both competitive and also repeatable lap after lap, and I’m looking forward to our team’s performance at Barber.”</p>
<p>Qualifying is Friday at 10:50am (ET). The 2 1/2-hour race takes the green flag Saturday at 5:15pm (ET).  The Barber Park race will be televised by SPEED TV for broadcast on April 8th at 12:00pm (ET).  </p>
<p>Sponsors for SRRT include: Subaru Of America, Inc., Subaru Tecnica International (STI), Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT), Hawk Brakes, Ron Davis Racing Radiators, ARP (Automotive Racing Products).<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- New fun-to-drive, high-capability compact crossover<br />
- 2.0-liter BOXER® engine and up to 33 miles per gallon<br />
- Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.7 inch ground clearance<br />
- Available in Premium and Limited models<br />
- Comprehensive infotainment technology</p>
<p>CHERRY HILL, N.J., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that it is expanding its line of award-winning crossover-type vehicles with the all-new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. The versatile, fun-to-drive Subaru XV Crosstrek, which arrives this fall, combines bold five-door design with an expanded-capability chassis, high fuel economy and everyday comfort. The new Subaru XV Crosstrek will debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show.</p>
<p>Subaru based the new Subaru XV Crosstrek on the Impreza® platform, making significant changes to the chassis and body and configuring interior standard equipment and options specifically for this new model. All 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek models are powered by a 148-horsepower 2.0-liter BOXER engine, teamed to Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive via a five-speed manual transmission or available second-generation Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).</p>
<p>Although official the Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy figures are not yet available, Subaru projects the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek to be the most fuel-efficient all-wheel drive crossover on the market. Manufacturer-estimated fuel economy figures are 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined. The 15.9-gallon fuel tank in the Subaru XV Crosstrek is 1.4 gallons greater than that in the Impreza models.</p>
<p>Built for Rugged Action or Everyday Driving</p>
<p>Compared to the Subaru Impreza five-door model it is based on, the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek incorporates numerous body and chassis enhancements for its expanded-capability mission. Black side- and wheel-arch cladding, rocker spoiler and roof rails provide a rugged contrast to the body color. The higher ride height, roof spoiler and unique-design 17-inch wheels bolster the Subaru XV Crosstrek model&#8217;s go-anywhere stance and attitude. Front and rear bumpers and the front grille are unique to the Subaru XV Crosstrek, and dark-tint privacy glass is standard.</p>
<p>The rugged styling is backed up by function, as the four-wheel independent suspension features a raised configuration in the Subaru XV Crosstrek. The new crossover model&#8217;s 8.7 inches of ground clearance is higher than for most other crossovers and even some dedicated SUVs. The Subaru XV Crosstrek uses standard 17-inch alloy wheels with 225/55 R17 all-season tires to provide all-weather traction and performance. The four-wheel disc brake system in the Subaru XV Crosstrek features larger front rotors than on the Impreza 2.5i models. </p>
<p>The standard five-speed manual transmission includes the Subaru Incline Start Assist feature, which will briefly hold the vehicle while the driver coordinates brake and clutch to pull away from a stop on a hill. Available for the Subaru XV Crosstrek Premium models and standard on the Limited trim line; the Subaru Lineartronic CVT provides infinite variability between the highest and lowest available ratios with no discernable steps or shifts. The CVT continuously and smoothly adapts to performance demand, helping to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range. A six-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters allows the driver to control the transmission via six pre-set ratios. With either transmission choice, a standard ECO gauge helps the driver to operate the vehicle as economically as possible.</p>
<p>Subaru Safety</p>
<p>For safety, the Subaru Ring-Shaped Frame Reinforcement body structure has been proven in more than a decade of use. Inside, the Subaru XV Crosstrek fills out its safety roster with a driver&#8217;s knee airbag and standard front side pelvis/torso airbags and side curtain airbags that offer front and rear outboard seat coverage. The passenger-seat front airbag features a shell-type design with a center groove, thus exposing the passenger to less impact force upon deployment. </p>
<p>Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) combines stability and traction control functions. Traction control works to augment the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive functionality. The 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) integrates Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and the Brake Assist safety system. A new Brake Override system ensures that the engine power will be cut when both the brake and accelerator are pressed simultaneously.</p>
<p>Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive</p>
<p>Subaru offers two different Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive systems in the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek models. With the five-speed manual transmission, the AWD system uses a viscous-coupling locking center differential to distribute power 50/50 front to rear. Slippage at either set of wheels will send more power to the opposite set.</p>
<p>Models equipped with the Lineartronic CVT feature the Active Torque Split version of Symmetrical AWD. An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively manages power distribution based on acceleration, deceleration, and available traction. The Active Torque Split system automatically transfers more power (up to 100 percent) to the wheels with the best grip should slippage occur.</p>
<p>Roomy, Versatile Interior</p>
<p>A 103.7-inch wheelbase yields impressive interior roominess in the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. Rear seat legroom in the Subaru XV Crosstrek of 35.4 inches is close to that of some midsize cars. Large door pockets can hold plastic drink bottles and large maps. Numerous compartments located in and around the center console hold all manner of today&#8217;s personal items, such as phones, USB drives and MP3 players. </p>
<p>With the standard 60/40 split rear seatbacks folded, this versatile five-door crossover provides a completely flat load floor with up to approximately 52.4 cubic feet of carrying space. The cargo area is outfitted as standard with a cover that can be pulled into place or removed, a removable waterproof tray, tie-down hooks, and grocery bag hooks. Subaru dealers will offer a number of accessories for the standard roof rails for carrying items like bicycles and kayaks.</p>
<p>Two Trim Lines</p>
<p>Subaru will offer the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek in Premium and Limited models, the latter adding additional luxury amenities and infotainment technology. Among the standard features in the Premium are a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth® control switches; power windows, door locks and side mirrors; multi-function display with fuel economy information; security system with engine immobilizer; outside temperature gauge, and carpeted floormats. The standard audio system in the Premium model features Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, Radio Data Broadcast System (RDBS), iPod® control capability, USB port, 3.5mm aux. input jack and six speakers.</p>
<p>In addition to making the Lineartronic CVT standard, the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited adds leather-trimmed upholstery, steering wheel and shift handle; automatic climate control system; auto on/off headlights, and a rear seat armrest with dual cupholders. A standard display-type audio system in the Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited incorporates a rear-vision camera and also features a 4.3-inch display screen and standard HD Radio™. </p>
<p>Standard on the Limited and available for the Premium, the All-Weather Package gives the Subaru XV Crosstrek heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer. Both the Subaru XV Crosstrek Premium and Limited offer a power moonroof and a navigation system as standalone options. The navigation system uses a 6.1-inch touch screen LCD display and integrates a rear-vision camera, voice control, iTunes® tagging, SMS text messaging capability, XM Satellite Radio® and XM NavTraffic® (both XM services require subscriptions). Updated map data can be downloaded to a personal computer and then transferred into the system via secure digital (SD) card.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Line-off ceremony took place at the Subaru Main Plant in Japan -</p>
<p>TOKYO, March 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, announced that it held a line-off ceremony at Subaru&#8217;s Gunma Main Plant (Ota-city, Gunma Prefecture, Japan) with Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) President Akio Toyoda and honored guests in attendance, in commemoration of the production start of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86.</p>
<p>FHI and TMC first agreed on business collaboration in Oct. 2005. After the companies expanded their cooperative ties with new agreements related to development and production in April 2008, they then began four years of development. The completion of this joint-development product also marks a great achievement of the alliance between FHI and TMC. </p>
<p>At the ceremony, TMC President Akio Toyoda said, &#8220;I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the ceaseless efforts of all FHI people and staff who were involved in the development, production and preparations for both models. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 would not have been successfully developed without collaboration between FHI and TMC. We started the alliance for mutual growth in 2005 and now I&#8217;m delighted to see that our alliance surely bore fruit.&#8221;</p>
<p>FHI President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, after extending his gratitude to all participants at the ceremony, said, &#8220;The car symbolizes our corporate strategy in two significant aspects: good progress of our alliances; and advancement of our &#8216;select and focus&#8217; approach. The start of production today made a huge step for us, but it is not our goal. By constantly refining both models, TMC and FHI hope to nourish each model to be loved by customers all over the world for a long time to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>Subaru Gunma Main Plant, where minicars were previously manufactured, was recently renewed for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 production. FHI plans to produce the Impreza at the same plant by March 2013.</p>
<p>FHI offers &#8220;Enjoyment and Peace of Mind&#8221; to its customers through the Subaru brand statement &#8220;Confidence in Motion&#8221; and its consistent approach to &#8220;Engineering Excellence&#8221;.</p>
<p>Following very positive reviews, the highly anticipated BRZ goes on sale in the United States, spring 2012. </p>
