Subaru Forester Named to Forbes.com 'Ten Toughest Cars on the Road' List

CHERRY HILL, NJ - July 18, 2008: The Subaru Forester has been named to Forbes.com 'Ten Toughest Cars on the Road' list. The all-new Forester continues to garner awards from leading publications and in the month of June posted a 41% increase in sales over the same month the previous year.

To make the list, the Forester had to meet several measures, such as the most recent National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration and Insurance Institute of Highway Safety front and side crash-test ratings, Consumer Reports' 2007 Overall Road Test Scores, Strategic Vision's 2007 New Vehicle Experience and Vincentric's estimated five-year repair costs.

Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Subaru of America Inc., said, "We are delighted that independent third parties are endorsing the Forester's legendary durability. With the 2009 model providing customers with more room and amenities than ever before, coupled with its toughness, it is no surprise that demand is strong."
