“It’s been a tough winter in many parts of Canada, but we believe it’s actually had a beneficial effect for Subaru,” said Katsuhiro Yokoyama, chairman, president and CEO of SCI. “The reputation of our All-Wheel Drive lineup for allowing people to get on with their lives, even when the roads are snow-covered or slippery, has clearly encouraged more people to give Subaru a try. This is excellent news for us, because once drivers have experienced a Subaru, they tend to stay loyal to the brand.”
