One car that has been quietly in the roster of vehicles of Subaru of America is the 2010 Subaru MY Outback. This all wheel-drive has been reported to achieve a 24MPG combined and 29 MPG, exhibiting better fuel economy than other vehicles under the same category. This includes the likes of the Toyota Venza, Volvo XC70, VW Passat, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer.

“The all-new 2010 Subaru Outback combines great on- and off-road capability, comfortable space, incredible cargo carrying ability and fuel economy all for a great price,” said Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and CMO of Subaru of America, Inc. “We think this new Outback will really raise the bar in the crossover segment.”

The new Subaru Outback starts at an entry-level price of $22,995. It is a great alternative vehicle for customers looking for more room than a midsize sedan and features the off-road capabilities of an SUV.

Cars.com has come out with their “Best Bet” cars to help guide shoppers in making vehicle buying choices. Apparently, the final selection included three models from Subaru. The models were:

• 2009 Subaru Impreza
• Subaru Impreza WRX STI
• Subaru Forester

According to Cars.com, the two Subaru Imprezas are each a “Best Bet for Sports Cars,” and the Subaru Forester has been recognized as a “Best Bet for SUVs and Crossovers.” To qualify as a Cars.com Best Bet, models must meet three quantified criteria: a “Good” rating in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests; average or higher reliability ratings; and average or higher gas mileage within their class.

“We are proud to accept these awards from Cars.com,” said Tom Doll, COO and executive vice president of Subaru of America, Inc. “The editors who have named the Subaru Impreza and Forester ‘Best Bets’ evaluate scores of vehicles, so this recognition comes from true automotive experts. The Forester and Impreza models offer safety, reliability and performance — and are fun to drive.”

Chalk up another feather in the cap of the all-new Subaru Forester as it was given the top rating of ‘Good’ in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s new roof strength rating system. Designed to help consumers pick vehicles that will help protect them in rollover crashes, twelve small SUVs were tested with only four receiving a ‘good’ rating.

“The all-new Subaru Forester continues to deliver the highest levels of safety as evidenced by this new IIHS test,” said Tom Doll, chief operating officer for Subaru of America, Inc. “Safety is an important part of our brand promise and we at Subaru are proud of the renowned performance of our vehicles in crash testing as well as real-life accident conditions.”

More than 10,000 people a year are killed in rollovers. When vehicles roll, their roofs hit the ground, deform, and crush. Stronger roofs crush less, reducing the risk that people will be injured by contact with the roof itself. Stronger roofs also can prevent occupants, especially those who aren’t using safety belts, from being ejected through windows, windshields, or doors that have broken or opened because the roof has deformed. Roofs that don’t collapse help keep people inside vehicles as they roll.
