Not entirely sure that insurance is cheaper.While the thefts of scoobs are relatively low , they do have a boy racer image and im sure that plays on the mind of insurance companies.

Here’s a rendering of a new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek adventure seekers would love to have. Will Subaru ever bring it to production?
According to Subaru, about 33 percent of new 2018 Crosstrek buyers will take their all-wheel-drive vehicle off-road. That’s a huge number compared with most automaker’s SUVs that will never leave the pavement. Subaru knows the Crosstrek is being purchased by a new-generation of urban-adventurers who will use their Crosstrek for getting off-road and higher into the mountains away from civilization.
Thanks to Instagram user mo_aoun_photo, this cool Crosstrek rendering would be even more aggressive for extreme adventures. We would like to see this vehicle in real life and come to production. Subaru would likely sell a ton of the custom machines.
The new-generation 2018 Subaru Crosstrek comes with a new feature that upgrades its already impressive off road capability. Crosstrek now comes standard with X-MODE for urban-adventurers. Up until now, Crosstrek has mainly been used for commuting and weekend adventures like getting to the trailhead for hiking, mountain biking and transportation to the ski slope. But not so anymore.

Was watching this Aussie review of the MY2018 WRX
https://youtu.be/ztW1VHMVIwI
They called this model "Rex". Just wanted to know in inner Scooby circles is the Rex naming used to denote a WRX?

Subaru drops teaser images previewing next-gen WRX
Subaru has released a pair of teaser images essentially previewing the next-generation version of the WRX sedan.
Dubbed the Subaru Viziv Performance Concept, the new show car will be on display at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show in October.
The Japanese automaker says the new concept “expresses the enjoyment of driving” in the form of a “sports sedan style”, while “realising its future vision for safety with advanced driver-assist technology”.
Subaru has yet to reveal exactly when we can expect to see the new WRX and WRX STI, which will be based on the latest Impreza.
Subaru will also use the event in Tokyo to show off its new limited edition BRZ STI Sport and WRX STI-based S208 variants, both of which will be exclusive to the Japanese market.
Also expect to see the Outback Limited Smart Edition, XV Fun Adventure Concept and Impreza Future Sport Concept on Subaru’s stand in Tokyo.

Subaru says uncertified staff inspected its cars
Subaru said on Friday it allowed uncertified staff to do inspections on some vehicles for more than three decades, becoming the latest Japanese firm dented by a quality scandal.
The company said it was considering a recall of more than 250 000 vehicles at a cost of some 5-billion yen ($44-million), after an internal probe uncovered the longstanding practice.
The misconduct appeared similar to an inspection crisis at bigger rival Nissan.
The embarrassing admissions have hurt Japan's auto industry, once the envy of the world for its just-in-time manufacturing and near-obsessive focus on constant improvement.
Scandal
The practice at Subaru came to light after discussions between the automaker and transport ministry over inspection practices, it said Friday, adding that vehicles sold overseas were not affected.
The government ordered Japan's automakers to check their inspections after Nissan recalled some 1.2 million cars and suspended local production following admissions that uncertified staff performed final checks on some vehicles before they were shipped to dealers.
Subaru insisted that its inspection staff were undergoing training and were qualified to do the job, but had yet to be certified.
It is not clear if the lapses at the automaker - which trails larger rivals Toyota, Nissan and Honda, selling about one million vehicles annually - created a safety risk.
"Worrying our customers about their safety and peace of mind is something that we must not do," Subaru President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said as he bowed in apology - a common act of contrition for Japanese executives.
The scandal at Nissan, meanwhile, has been compounded by a crisis at Kobe Steel, which falsified strength and quality data for products sold to Japan's automotive industry.
This summer, Tokyo-based auto parts supplier Takata tumbled into bankruptcy as its defective airbags were blamed for the deaths of at least 17 people globally and sparked the biggest-ever auto safety recall.
In 2016, Mitsubishi Motors was caught fudging fuel-economy tests to make its cars seem more efficient than they were.

And it seems the Subaru Viziv is going to replace the impreza brand
