Also in March, Subaru earned the 'Most Trusted Brand' for the fourth consecutive year in the 2018 Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards. The awards recognize automakers' impressive achievements in creating and maintaining brand attributes that capture the attention of the new-vehicle buying public and winners are chosen based on new car buyer perception data.
'March and the first quarter of 2018 were both sales records for the Subaru franchise,' said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief executive officer of Subaru of America, Inc. 'Our continuing record results are directly attributable to the passionate efforts of our retailers in delivering the best purchase, service and ownership experience possible to our valued customers.'
'March marked another sales record, as well as the global debut of the all-new 2019 Forester at the New York International Auto Show,' said Jeff Walters, senior vice president of sales for Subaru of America. 'Crosstrek set an all-time record in March while Outback set another monthly record. With the arrival of the all-new three-row Ascent later this summer Subaru's SUV portfolio will continue to lead our success in a competitive industry.
