Subaru has long been a hallmark brand in the greater Seattle area and sales across the country have continued to grow. Subaru of America set an all-time sales record in 2006, reaching its milestone 200,000 unit goal. Eastside Subaru has been a leader among Subaru dealers ranking number 30 in sales volume out of 600. Sales have been bolstered this year by the success of its crossover utility vehicle, the Subaru Tribeca redesigned for 2008; the all new Subaru Impreza that was the first and only small car to receive the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award; and by the popularity of its driving performance products the Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI.
Subaru products are also popular in the Northwest because they are built in plants that produce zero landfill. Nothing from the manufacturing of Subaru vehicles is sent to a landfill. Everything is reused or recycled. In addition to offering the most fuel efficient fleet of all wheel drive vehicles, Subaru offers Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) certified Legacy, Outback, and Forester models that meet California's Super-Ultra-Low- Emission Vehicle exhaust emission standard. These gasoline vehicles meeting PZEV emissions standards sometimes have even lower emissions than hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Outback, Forester, and Legacy PZEVs are among the cleanest and most fuel-efficient vehicles available in the U.S. based on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and overall fuel economy. Subaru PZEV vehicles are Certified SmartWay(TM) Vehicles by the EPA and are recommended in their green vehicle guide.
