3 Millionth Subaru!

Since 1989, Subaru has been producing it cars stateside in Lafayette, Indiana. The first car to roll off the assembly line was a Subaru Legacy, and in those 27 years, they have never slowed down. On Thursday July 28^th, Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. crossed a giant threshold, producing its 3 millionth Subaru. Rolling off the line was a Blue 2017 Subaru Outback. Those 3 million Subarus made at SIA are being driven and enjoyed across America and 50 other countries.

Every Subaru dealership around the country is selling their cars so fast they can barely keep them on the lot. And as the sales continue to rise, SIA continues to expand. The Indiana location recently went through yet another expansion, the third in six years. The $140 million addition added 1,200 new jobs to the central Indiana plant. This addition added an extra production line, allowing them to manufacture the Impreza now in America and boosted overall production value. 

“This is an exciting time for SIA, with our rate of growth and recent expansions, it’s easy to see that the next 3 million Subaru vehicles will come much faster. That’s good news for all of us at SIA, for our local community and for Indiana.”

-Tom Easterday, SIA Executive Vice President

These expansions have allowed Subaru to produce 3 million cars in less than 30 years. Over the last fiscal year, from April 2015 until March 2016, SIA produced 313, 511 vehicles. They are expecting the total to be close to 350,00 in 2017.

Why is the Subaru I want so hard to find?

So you decided you’re getting a Subaru. Congratulations!

You’ve picked model, year and features.

Now find one…..

            New or used, Subaru’s are hard to find. From the popular and sporty WRX to the versatile midsized SUV models, the Forester and Outback, the Subaru’s are HOT commodities. And that’s a good thing, for Subaru.

            Have you noticed that your local Subaru dealer is sometimes running out of the popular models that you are looking for? That’s because Subaru has a problem that most businesses would love to have: people are buying their cars as quickly as they can make them. Part of the shortage issue is that while Subaru exports most of the vehicles it sells from Japan, it has a manufacturing facility in Indiana. Only one, though: other Japanese automakers have multiples. And because of this demand, Subaru doesn’t offer deep price cut and entertaining promotions to get customers in the door. The brand typically sells itself.

People love their Subaru’s, and because off this, pre-owned and certified pre-owned are hard to come by. There are “Subaru Clubs” where owners get together and show off classics. Owners hold on to their Subaru’s for a long time, and when they sell them, they often go inside the Subaru communities. So, if you happen upon the perfect Subaru for you, don’t hesitate, hurry before it disappears!

Luckily for the company, most people who want one of their vehicles are willing to wait. Up to a point. Customers generally won’t wait ten weeks to get the vehicle they want, they will however wait four to six weeks because Subaru owners are that passionate about their vehicles!
