On April 9th, 2018, Subaru announced the two-millionth sale of the iconic Outback in the United States. Andrew Simpson purchased the two millionth Outback in Hawthorne, CA, and the new Outback owner was in for a surprise that day! He was greeted by Sean Sullivan, president, and James Miller, sales consultant, of the dealership. Frank Ceccacci and Tim Tagye of Subaru of America also made a visit! It was a celebration.

With each new Motor Show comes a new opportunity for car companies to show a glimpse into the future of their vehicles, and that includes Subaru with their Viziv Tourer Concept for the WRX Wagon.

Here at Peninsula Subaru, we know that it is one thing for us to talk about the popularity of our vehicles, but it is another for others to notice it as well. Well, that’s what’s been happening across several US States.

Versatility is key for driving around the Kitsap Peninsula area of Washington State, a gorgeous region that offers nearby natural areas you'll love exploring. The versatility offered with the new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is perfect for drivers around Silverdale, Bainbridge Island and Port Orchard. It's efficient enough to serve as a sensible commuter, while providing AWD capabilities and safety for all your travels.

There's way too much to love about the current new 2018 Subaru Forester for us to talk about right here. Versatile, efficient and safe, the new Forester is a great option at our Bremerton, WA Subaru dealership for family drivers. As much as we could go on all day about the 2018 edition, we're excited about the upcoming 2019 Subaru Forester that's set to make its debut at the 2018 New York Auto Show later this month.

The upcoming 2019 Subaru Ascent is the largest Subaru vehicle ever and it was designed specifically with families and those with large, spacious needs in mind. The Ascent offers three comfortable and accommodating rows of seating for up to eight passengers, plenty of storage space throughout, and state of the art entertainment, safety and convenience features at every turn.

Since the Crosstrek XV Hybrid was discontinued a couple model years ago, drivers have been wondering if a Subaru plug-in hybrid would return at any point, and if the recent reports are true, Subaru plans to unveil an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid in the coming months. The Subaru PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) is rumored to to be a conversion of a current model, but it hasn't been released which model it will be yet, although experts are suggesting either the Crosstrek (again) or the Forester as candidates.

The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek recently received the Kelley Blue Book 2018 Five-Year Cost to Own Award for the Best compact SUV/Crossover category for the second year in a row! The awards are given to vehicles to provide drivers with more insight into the longevity of a vehicle and its value. The Crosstrek earned the award again by providing drivers with the lowest cost of ownership in its segment, which looks at the cost of the vehicle as well as projected expenses like insurance, fuel, vehicle depreciation and more!

As more and more vehicles plunge headfirst into technology-heavy, futuristic aspirations, the classic 2018 Subaru WRX STI has excelled by sticking to traditional performance car ideals. The WRX’s commitment to performance is inspiring to those of us who want to enjoy our everyday drive, and it has been garnering a lot of attention. Check out this review from Autoweek, this reviewer loves a lot of the same things we do on the WRX.

”The Barkleys” are the Subaru-driving, golden retriever family that have been featured on several past Subaru commercials. The dogs are back with four new ad spots that have been appealing to people all across the United States. It’s tough not to enjoy the commercials as the undeniably cute dogs get into some whacky, Subaru-centric situations, often interacting with a host of other canines. These are some of our favorite car ads in recent memory, so if you haven’t seen them check out the video above and get ready for some cute animals.
