Which raises the question: Why should Subaru continue to exist if their entire lineup in 10 years time is only shared platforms? The only thing they'll be selling on is name recognition- their interiors or features are no better and in many cases worse than Toyota. And they sure don't show up any cheaper either.
They're basically a dead car company with nothing to their name. My how the giants have fallen.
Brand preference. GMC and Chevy have always released the same vehicles yet still both exist and I know more than a few people who prefer one over the other.
That aside, Subaru still checks boxes that Toyota doesn't like the AWD Outback wagon and the AWD WRX. Here in the PNW, both brands are extremely popular.
