    Why do I want all wheel drive? I live in a dry warm climate.
    All wheel drive is a full time traction system that is effective on dry as well as slick roads and helps maintain stability and control  under most conditions.
    It is a benefit in all driving conditions but of course especially any area where there is snow or rain including the Northwest, Northeast, Midwest.
    The BRZ is Subaru's only rear wheel drive car. It has a Limited slip rear axle. Introduced in 2012, it's built by Subaru but was was co-designed by Toyota and is also sold in the US as the Scion FR-S


    Is there an CUV or SUV?
    from small to large:  Crosstrek, Forester, Outback,


    Is there a 7 passenger?
    Not currently.
    Subaru will be releasing the all new 7/8 passenger Ascent SUV mid-2018

    Is there a Hybrid
    Yes, Subaru's first hybrid, the Crosstrek Hybrid and Hybrid Touring was introduced as a 2014 model late in 2013. and dropped in half-way through the 2016 model year in April 2016. A new Hybrid will be available fall 2018, and an electric car will be available in 2019. 

    Is there a Diesel
    Yes but it is not available in the US.

    The potential US market for a Subaru diesel is small and Subaru is working on other technologies

    what should this next question be?  Ideas welcome.
