    I know this is Minnesota where Subaru's are common but there seems to be a lot more now than before. Don't you think so?

    They say they are breaking sales record, Guess it's true

    Wonder if they count used car sales in that?

    Either way, way to go Subaru

    yeah. It's funny, you don't really notice anything till you for some reason are influenced to think about a certain model.

    I never really cared about/saw subarus till i bought my legacy, then all of a sudden it seemed like they were the only cars on the road. there weren't any more or less of them, it's just that my brain was primed to think about them so it noticed them.

    There. Or here. Sometimes both.
    It does happen on rare occasions.

    Any model, any year but I see a lot of outbacks, 4th and 5th generations more even when looking for a parking spot.

    No, used sales are not part of that figure.

    5th gen legacies are only a few years old. You see more on the road compared to a year or two ago because significantly more of them physically exist.

    I was at Bloomington Subaru yesterday getting my oil changed and there were a lot of customers. I couldn't tell how many were for Subaru vs Acura though.

    Flat-brim hats, tats, butch-looking women = Subaru customers

    Suits, Gucci loafers, trophy-wife = Acura customers
