In total, 2,209 units of Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive vehicles were retailed this past month, which was a marginal decrease of 1.4 percent year-to-date as compared to 2010.

"I would like to credit the efforts of our dealer network for another month of strong performance," said Shiro Ohta, president and CEO of Subaru Canada.

We anticipate that the arrival of our 2012 lineup, including the next-generation Impreza, will help us conclude 2011 as the second best year ever in company history."
