A Subaru dealer once told me the hardest place to get a deal on a new Subaru is a city like Los Angeles, mostly because the weather is better and the roads here don't get effected as often by snow. If a person in L.A. really wanted a deal, buy a Subaru in New Mexico, Oregon or Seattle and drive it back.
I like Subaru. But no diesel offering for the U.S. as in Europe and Asia
