2012 "Share the Love" Television Spot

Subaru and Subaru Owners "Share the Love" for Fifth Consecutive Year

 

Subaru of America will kick off its fifth-annual "Share the Love" event on Nov. 21.  During the "Share the Love" event, Subaru will donate $250 to the owners' choice of five charities for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased from Nov. 21, 2012 through Jan. 2, 2013.  Over the last four years, Subaru has donated nearly $20 million to charitable organizations through the "Share the Love" sales event. 

"'Share the Love' is a truly unique event that brings together Subaru owners, their philanthropic spirit, and five amazing charitable partners," said Dean Evans, Subaru chief marketing officer.

For the second year in row, Subaru enlisted its Facebook fans to select the final "Share the Love" charitable partners.  The Alzheimer's Association and the USO earned the most Facebook votes. Those two charities join the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), Make-A-Wish® and Meals On Wheels Association of America® to round out the 2012 roster.  This year's event is expected to deliver $5 million in donations to the five charitable organizations.

"We know how much Subaru owners care about the community and we can't think of a better way to close out the year," added Evans.

The Fastest Selling Cars In America

1. Subaru XV Crosstrek

Days To Turn: 7

MSRP: $21,995 - $24,495
Invoice: $20,876 - $23,178
Fuel Economy: 23 mpg City, 30 mpg Highway

If this car looks familiar, it's because it is really an Impreza hatchback that has been tweaked and bulked up a little. The dressing on this Impreza makes it a bit more sporty and interesting than the standard car.

Subaru is on a roll. It jacked up sales all through the recessionary years we have had since Wall Street and mortgage bankers conspired to kill all of our 401Ks the last three years.

It's flying off Subaru dealer lots because it's a brand new, fun-looking and fun-driving model offered by a hot brand.

 

5. Subaru BRZ (tie)

Days To Turn:12

MSRP: $25,495 - $27,495
Invoice: $24,327 - $26,112
Fuel Economy: 22 mpg City, 30 mpg Highway

The Subaru BRZ is a hot new affordable sports car that the automaker built in partnership with Toyota, which is selling a separate version of this car as the Scion FR-S.

Check out the picture. This is a pretty nice looking sports car for a starting price of $25,500. The sleek exterior is matched by an attractive straightforward interior. If you have the moxie, order up the six-speed manual. Our reviewers prefer it to some sports cars costing $20K more. No wonder buyers are scooping them up.

Winter Driving Tips

 

Clear snow from your vehicle windshield, hood and roof - Snow on the hood and roof can blow off and hamper visibility
Be patient - Remember snowplows are working to improve road conditions for your trip
Slow down – Snowplows typically move at slower speeds
Stay back - At least five car lengths behind the plow, far from the snow cloud
Stay alert – Snowplows turn or exit frequently and often with little warning; they may also travel over centerlines or partially in traffic to further improve road conditions
Buckle up - Make sure all vehicle occupants are using their seat belts
Drive according to road conditions - Adjust your speed and increase your following distance
Check current road conditions - Go to 511mn.org or call 511
