Eric is a no-hold-barred reporter on all things automotive (and a whole lot more!) Lately that means he's not reporting a lot of good news. So when he promised he could be positive about Subaru's offerings, I took him up on it. That landed him our first episode of the new year! Here are the highlights.

Chapters:
00:00 - intro
02:00 - had an issue with his first Subaru and got great treatment
03:30 - early Apple iPlay use
04:30 - Subaru big for outdoorsy folks
08:30 - offroad capabilities
10:30 - changes made incrementally
11:30 - early marketing to LGBT
13:00 - marketing to dog lovers and supporting pet adoptions
17:45 - quality focus
22:00 - rankings of most-American-made cars
26:00 - environmental aspects of EVs
31:00 - hybrids

Yes, dog lovers, Subaru is very interested in your business! (And before we forget, here is the promised link to Andrew Cotter's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mrandrewcotter - enjoy!

There's a whole lot more (and still more in Eric's article about Subaru that we discussed, which you can find here: https://starkmanapproved.com/subarus-triumph-and-the-shame-of-gm-and-ford/), so tune in for the whole thing.
