    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.

    Is there an SUV? The Tribeca 6 cylinder with optional 7 passenger seating...

    Is there a mini-van? No.

    Is there a Hybrid>  Yes in 2012 or 2013. No details are available.

    Is there a Diesel> Not in the US.
    2.0L Diesels with a manual transmission are available in other countries but not the US or Canada.
    Why?
    The potential US market for a Subaru diesel is small and Subaru is working on other technologies.
    Few diesels actually do well in the US. A gallon of diesel is frequently more expensive than a gallon of gas.
    Diesel in the US isn't as refined as other parts of the world and the newer, cleaner burning and quieter diesel engines don't run our stuff.
    Subaru diesels around the world are a 2.0L with a manual transmission - no automatic transmission. That won't work here... It would have to be auto.
    Diesel engines cost a lot to make and the price of the car would be high.
    Subaru is partnered with Toyota, the hybrid leader, and they don't do diesel here.

    what should this next question be?  Ideas welcome.

    information subject to change, correction, updating

    May 2010. To enhance the new car experience, Subaru will send owners a welcome packet with a guide to owner benefits booklet with company contact info, various websites etc.  However, they're not including contact info for your dealer which should be the first place you go for specific questions about operating the new car, or for service, comments, help, advice etc. Plus you can request a free 'Badge of Ownership' to put on the car to show and help spread the Love. If you currently have a Subaru, you can get one too. Here's my webpage with photos of the badges and links.
