Subaru Sponsors Flower Shows

- Subaru to sponsor throughout February and March -

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Feb. 19 -- Subaru of America, Inc. is to sponsor three flower shows throughout the nation during the months of February and March.

"Subaru's sponsorship of flower shows is a great way to show our commitment to the environment," said Tim Mahoney, CMO, Subaru of America. "Our owners index as some of the most active and environmentally concerned people in the U.S. and so our association with horticultural events is a natural fit for us."

Subaru is sponsoring three events in February and March including the Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Washington, the 2008 Philadelphia Flower Show in Pennsylvania, and the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show in California. Specific event information is as follows:

  -- Northwest Flower & Garden Show
     Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Wash.
     February 20-24
     The theme for this year's Northwest Flower & Garden Show is "Live
     Beautifully, Live Outdoors." With gardening as one of the top hobbies
     for Subaru Forester customers, Subaru will feature an all-new 2009
     Subaru Forester Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) at this year's
     show. As a first-year sponsor, Subaru will have plenty to offer the
     expected 70,000 show attendees with giveaways that include wildflower
     seeds, an autographed copy of Inspired by Jamie Durie, host of the
     Subaru-sponsored "Victory Gardens" show on PBS, to those who test drive
     a Subaru and an offer of $500.00 off the purchase or lease of a new
     Subaru vehicle (with limitations).   Please visit the Subaru booth at
     the show for the test drive offer and incentive information.  For more

     a "green roof" and an all-new 2009 Subaru Forester Partial Zero
     Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) in its concourse display. A featured speaker
     will discuss "green roofs" and their contributions to the environment
     during a scheduled session in the "Subaru Gardner's Studio" at the
     show. The 2008 Subaru Tribeca will also be on display in a space
     designed by EP Henry. Giveaways include a jazzy flower seed mix and
