Cherry Hill, NJ, March 13, 2009 Kiplinger's Personal Finance has recognized two 2009 Subaru models in the magazine's 2009 Car Buyer's Guide. The all-new 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X has been designated "Best New Crossover" in the category of "Small Crossovers," and the 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i has been named "Best in Class" in the "Wagons and Minivans" category. "Best in Class" and "Best New" winners are chosen on a basis of performance, value, safety, power, fuel efficiency, exterior design, interior room and cargo space.

"We are very happy to accept these awards from Kiplinger's Personal Finance," said Tom Doll, executive vice president of Subaru of America, Inc. "They're especially meaningful coming from a magazine so keenly focused on advising their readers on smart purchasing decisions and wise financial choices. The Forester and Impreza both offer versatility, performance and value qualities that have long resonated with Subaru owners and are even more important in this economy."

Praising attributes that made the Subaru vehicles stand out, the buyer's guide cited the Subaru Impreza's standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and safety features, as well as strong resale value and "impressive" cargo room. The 2009 Forester was lauded for its affordability and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, as well as increases in size and ground clearance over its popular predecessor. Alluding to the new model's go-anywhere nature, the guide pointed out that "it performs even better on snowy roads and muddy driveways."

Chicago, IL., February 12, 2009 - Subaru of America, Inc. today presented checks to the five charities involved in its "Share the Love" marketing campaign. Addressing media at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Subaru, handed over checks in the amount of $4.6 million.

"Share the Love" is a unique marketing campaign based on the love Subaru owners have for their vehicles and their desire to help worthy causes. The campaign ran from November 24 to January 2 and allowed Subaru new vehicle customers to select one of five charities to receive a $250 donation from Subaru of America, following the purchase or lease of a new Subaru vehicle. The program was the first in what is expected to become an annual Subaru tradition and was one of the factors that contributed to Subaru's sales success in 2008, as the only volume brand to post a sales increase in the U.S.

The five charities participating in the program were; Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Habitat for Humanity International, Meals On Wheels Association of America, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

Based on research that shows Subaru buyers are more actively involved in charitable causes, the campaign was developed by the company's brand agency, Carmichael Lynch, to align that affinity to their vehicle purchase.

Subaru dealerships across the U.S. also participated in the program by hosting events and projects in their local communities.

Speaking at the media event, Tim Mahoney said, "We are pleased that the program has worked so well. Not only did it help us to become the only volume brand with a sales increase in 2008, but it also benefited very deserving charities that are feeling the effects of recent economic troubles."
