I hate it when "car experts' say companies like Toyota and Subaru are dragging their feet to go EV. It's cause they aren't stupid. Ford and GM have lost bullions going EV. They lose money for every EV they make. But, hey, they know the US government will bail them out. Can't blame the Japanese manufacturers for not wanting to lose money.

[xlerb]

I just hope they don't screw it up. I've driven Subarus since the 90's. The last one I bought in '15 I didn't even bother looking at other brands or taking it for a test drive. I should be ready for another car in a decade or so and I'd like Subaru to still be a slam dunk decision. I live in the frozen north and their AWD is just what I need. I'm not an off road person, but our roads here can get pretty nasty with snow/slush/mud ;)

I won’t buy an EV, I won’t live in a Pod, I won’t eat the bugs

[tommc]

I've owned 8 Subarus going back to my '78 GL Wagon. I stopped buying them when they dropped manuals and went to CVT.
I sure as hell won't be buying an electric one.

My husband has a Tesla but Im not really on board with electric….I bought my first Subaru Outback XT. Love it!

[dennisdewinter]

Another outstanding and thorough video, Scotty. Thanks so much. As a long time Alaskan and an owner of multiple Subarus, over the years, I can attest to their reliability, affordability and outstanding all wheel drive system.

[ELPJM]

I’m thinking this is why Akio Toyoda also decided to step down. He said awhile ago that EV is not the future but I’m sure the board of directors and shareholders who have a higher say where not in agreement.

We owened a Subaru Crosstrex plugin hybrid and the fuel mileage was about 23 mpg, it was really bad, so bad, we traded it in and got a used Impreza and are getting about 32 mpg average now.

[bobpiec]

Thanks Scotty, We own an Outback 2019 and it is the best car we have ever owned. 4 cal. Runs like a top all the time. Don't care about the exact swap but don't care about electric vehicles. If anything I think Hydrogen fuel cells would be better than electric.

[florabee]

When the chief of Toyota says battery powered cars are not what they should be doing, maybe we should listen. Hybrid is the way, and they know it. Subaru sells cars that are supposed to be able to get away from it all on remote dirt roads, a concept that seems counter to making the car reliant on being able to plug in to the grid and weigh much more than a fuel powered car. If you want a Tesla, get a tesla, if you want a Prius, get that, and if you want a flat four gasoline engine mounted properly with proper all wheel drive, get a subaru. No need for everybody to stop what they are doing and build Teslas.

[nobodykayaks]

owned 2 manual subaru outbacks, both bought with miles on them and never had an issue other than replacing couple wheel bearings and cv axles.

[mdeitz-pdnm]

Battery availability, charging station infrastructure, inconvenience time spent charging, low mileage per charge, original source of electric power and vehicle price are all the reasons why I am skeptical about the success of the electric vehicle.

[dorisharrington]

We just bought our first Subaru in 2020, and we love it. I hope they don't change, as I would like to keep buying them.

[jtd]

Bought a Forester a year ago. I like the fuel economy and driving position (I'm 6'-6" tall), but have minor annoyances with infotainment UI/functionality and front cabin layout. Dealership service experience is phenomenal so far. My favorite feature may just be the adaptive cruise control (paces slower vehicles in front of you automatically). AWD has been great for my smooth garage floor in wet weather.

[shawnure]

They're seeing where things are going, getting out while the brands are top notch. Good way to keep your legacy clean.

[richardharker]

Something else is going on when senior car executives start leaving, especially when their position is fairly lucrative.

[NERGYStudios]

Akio's departure was a massive, unbelievable loss for all car lovers. The guy was a car maniac, resisted the EV madness for as much as he could hold on, and he pushed Toyota to almost all motorsports..

[barryv]

I've had 4 Outbacks. The last two have had the CVT (aging left leg and Boston traffic meant bye-bye manual). My 2012 was sloooow. The CVT feels much, much better with the Turbo in my 2020 XT. Easily the best of the four so far.

Old guys getting out before the whole EV mess goes poof!
