(SOA) today marked its 50th Anniversary with a ceremony for its 500+ employees at the automaker’s Cherry Hill, NJ headquarters (HQ) conducted by President and COO, Thomas J. Doll. Doll and Subaru employees, dressed in matching gold 50th anniversary T-shirts, counted down to zero on a 50th anniversary digital clock that has been marking down days in Subaru HQ for a year. Following a round of joyful applause, Doll unveiled a 3-by-4-foot, 300-pound bronze plaque, produced by local artist Chad Fisher. Taking inspiration from ‘The Stars of our Future,’ the plaque depicts two Subaru employees and the famous Subaru six-star cluster logo. “This was a great way to celebrate turning 50,” said Doll. “This company has seen so much in its 50 years, and now we can mark this anniversary on the back of 10 years of sales increases. Our employees are our bedrock and that’s why we are celebrating them with the amazing plaque by Chad Fisher, which represents our employees, retailers and customers. The plaque will last for the next 50,000 years and, as we have a bright future ahead of us, we very much look forward to what the next 50 years will bring for Subaru.” To kick off the year of celebrations in 2017, in a way that embodies the automaker’s spirit of supporting good causes and the local community, SOA donated 50 new 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles to select Meals on Wheels programs throughout the country to be used in the delivery of an estimated 53,000 meals to an additional 3,700 seniors across 39 states.

  • 2004-2005 MAZDA6 Mazda Added Two New Models to the Mazda6
    2004-2005 MAZDA6 Mazda added two new models to the Mazda6 lineup in the course of the 2004 model year to bolster the sedan, the Mazda6 Sport hatchback sedan and Mazda6 Sport Wagon. The station wagon comes with a V6 engine whereas the other two models can also be ordered with a four-cylinder engine. All three models are available in GS or GT trim. Also new for 2005 is a six-speed transmission, which replaces the five-speed with the V6 engine. It reduces fuel consumption by 0.3 litres in city driving and 0.2 litres on the highway. Interior and trunk The front seats are relatively easy to reach. For average to tall people, the seats are marginally comfortable because the backrest is too low, with the top section on shoulder-blade level, and the cushion is short and narrow. People who fit the seats find them very comfortable, with good side support. The tilt-telescopic steering column helps achieve a very good driving position for all but short drivers, who may bump their knees on the steering column. It is easier to get in to the back than to get out. The backseat provides comfortable seating for two adults. Foot room under the front seats is a bit tight, and head and leg room are limited for tall people. Each section of the 60/40 seatback folds automatically when you pull the corresponding handle in the trunk. The sedan has a big trunk with a rather narrow opening. The Sport version’s hatch opens wide, and the Sport Wagon’s rear door provides easy access to the roomy cargo area.

PARENTS awards the accolade based on NHTSA crash-test results, as well as the magazine’s own evaluations from a certified child passenger safety technician and road tester. In evaluating vehicles for its 2020 awards, PARENTS considered passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers and minivans that received a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

PARENTS’ auto reporter road-tested vehicles that passed the seat check, sometimes with his 9-year-old child in the back seat, to evaluate braking, steering, acceleration, user tech and more. With safety as a top priority, the 2020 Ascent, Crosstrek Hybrid, Forester and Legacy come standard with Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology that includes Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure and Sway Warning.
