Subaru sales up? Hum... If you go out west, you'll notice a lot of women with mullets driving Outbacks. Well they do have more disposable income I've read. ;)
Oh, just in case someone wants to know who is buying Subaru at this time. My family is double professional, has a house, has a mortgage @ 1.75% interest or HLOC @ 2.25%. Not gay. Politically liberal and economically far right.
@wsn who has a mortgage @ 1.75%. Do you have an exit strategy or are you going to be one of those fellows with a foreclosed home in a couple of years? http://www.mtgprofessor.com/tutorials2/option_arm_tutorial.htm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_37/b4000001.htm
