I value the findings given all the "parking by braille" that seems to occur nowadays. I see cars or trucks tapping other vehicles, and the owner doesn't even blink - they drive right off.
Most people have insurance but you're still paying the deductible. So I look at the out-of-pocket expense. For the Forester it's $10, $0, $500, $500. That's the lowest (with my insurance) among all small SUVs.
The Impreza would be $413, $456, $500, $500, in other words maybe it does deserve the Marginal rating. Legacy scores pretty well, though.

I'm a little suprised at the Impreza's results. How did it fare in 2001? I wonder how different the bumper construction is compared to a Forester given that they share the same platform.

Ken - The Impreza hasn't been tested since ~1997. That was an NHTSA test and it rated 4 out of 5 stars.
I'm ready to see an NHTSA and IIHS frontal crash tests.

On the Fox Channel, they were driving around Manhattan in a blue 5-speed WRX sedan with a guy from CR. They were going nowhere fast, but were really praising the WRX.
I doubt the bumper story will hurt Subaru as far as the general public is concerned. Have the bad SUV bumper stories hurt the sales of SUV's?

When I click on a forum, it takes me back 20 posts, not the the one I most recently visited!?

What is the new functionality? Whenever a member creates a new discussion, they will be required to categorize it. (This does not apply to the clubs as the discussions can be created by the host only, BUT you can also suggest categories for the discussions.) Why did Edmunds do this? Here is the official statement:
In addition to your discussion's title, we ask that you help categorize your discussion by selecting at least one make/model or vehicle type. In some message boards, you may also choose from a list of additional topics. Categorizing your discussion helps other Edmunds.com visitors find your discussion -- both in and out of Town Hall.
Your selected categories are displayed in the discussion header. This allows Town Hall visitors and members to see, at a glance, your discussion's topics.
Edmunds.com also uses these categories to select appropriate Town Hall discussions for the "Consumer Opinions" section of our new and used vehicle detail pages. These pages help Edmunds.com users make informed automotive decisions. In turn, your categorization helps other users to be aware of what you and the rest of the community think about specific vehicles.
Thank you for helping us improve Town Hall and Edmunds.com.
This will also be instrumental in finally providing a reliable search function. Something that I'm sure all of the Crew (AND ME!!!!!) will be thrilled to see!
If you have any questions, please post them in Our Software: Your Questions Answered.Thanks!

I thought the same thing when I got the notice, but the survey they supposedly changed is the one under "What's Your Opinion".

Re: CR post
"At least it didn't flip."

It's been a while since we had technical glitches on Edmund's. Karen, you've guys have been doing a great job, IMO.
Ken
Thing is, it's a bumper test, not a safety test, yet it revealed a safety concern. Imagine air bags going off in parking lots.
Anxious to see those IIHS offset crash test results, which are IMO far more important.

If y'all still want snow - just ask... seems everytime I even think about taking the snow tires off.. poof! It snows! Never sticks, but is it still an omen?
Probably won't get to chat tonight, as I already have to be two other places at the same time (wrestling practice, school auction meeting) - I like tho think I'm good at multitasking, but I'm not *that* good!
Cheers!

I was surprised, no, shocked, to see that even the towing capacity was boosted to 2400 lbs for manual trans models. More refined, more rear seat room, turbo on the way.
Way to go. :-)

BTW - trying to keep up with posts, but, work has been nuts lately. Will miss the chat tonight due to a hockey game. Sorry for being a no show lately.

I can get you real dates once I'm at work if you need them. The mind is a bit feeble tonight.
I'm going to try to make the chat tonight, but I can't promise. Major "Mom with driving duty" evening.
I hope to see you all later!
Patti
I think Legacy was introduced in 1990.
In addition, there were other -- now discontinued -- Subaru models: SVX, XT/XT6, and beloved little Justy.
Chat's starting any minute now...

Pat, my 'whose relative' comment was just a joke. Realized afterwards that something got lost in the translation from American to Canadian English???
Steve
Naw, Steve, you had me ROTFL. Transcript should be up soon for anyone curious about the context of the comment.
Busy chat, we had two newbies joining in, too. One WRX owner and another shopper. Hope they stick around in our threads.

But they run all the way down in Orange County, VA, a couple of hours away, so it would be a whole day thing just for a couple of runs. With a pregnant wife and a toddle to chase around, that ain't happening.
