Hybrid Aksjeopsjoner

Hvordan lager hybrider Bluegill i liten dam Hybrid Bluegill er en stor fiskeart for strømpe i små dammer. Den høye strømprisen, raskt voksende, lett å fange og de aksepterer menneskeskapt fôr veldig lett, gjør Hybrid Bluegill til en flott fisk (Bluegill) for små dammer. Misbruk, misforståelse og høre sier har gitt hybrid bluegill et dårlig navn. Hybrid bluegill har fått et dårlig navn på grunn av sin reproduksjon tilbake til en grønn solfisk og dens misbruk. FAKTISK, denne fisken utfører herlig i små dammer, den er ikke overbefolket som den vanlige bluegillen, og dens reproduksjon tilbake til den grønne solfisken kan kontrolleres ved å legge til bass. Hybrid Bluegill har en stor munn og trener lett til kommersiell fiskefôr. Hybrid bluegill vokser til fenomenale priser på kommersiell feed. De vil slå kunstig agn samt krykker, ormer, etc. og veldig essay å fange. Den eneste trekke tilbake til denne fisken er at de skal være aksjer i små dammer uten andre bluegill. Bas må legges til for å stoppe reproduksjonen og et godt matingsprogram må være på plass. Bassen skal ikke fiskes. De bør være igjen for å stoppe hybridgjengivelsen. Spør noen fiskbiolog, og de vil si at hvis du lager hybridblåse i en liten dam med bass og ingen annen bluegill, og legg til et godt fôringsprogram, er det den beste fisken rundt. Jeg er faktisk hybrid bluegill er bare en av to fiskearter som kan lagres vellykket i en liten dam (mindre enn en acre). Hvis du liker stor bluegill å fange og spise og ha en liten dam, er Hybrid Bluegill fisken til lager. Små dammer (mindre enn en acre) er begrenset til hvilke fiskearter du kan lagre med fisk. I den sørlige amerikanske steinbit og Hybrid Bluegill vil det være bra i små dammer. Et par regler du må følge for strømning Hybrid Bluegill Ikke lager hybrider i dammer som inneholder annen fisk, og aldri lagre dem i kombinasjon med andre brasamarter. Ikke lager hybrider i dammer over en acre. Dammer over en acre best brukt som en Bass og Bluegill dam. Et godt matingsprogram må implementeres på grunn av den høye strømprisen (en dam kan ikke levere nok mat til hybrid på grunn av den høye strømprisen). Bass må legges for å holde reproduksjonen for å overleve. Bass bør ikke fiskes og bør etterlates. Forholdet mellom bass og hybrider Bluegill Et forhold på 15 hybrider til 1 bass er ønskelig. Derfor fungerer strømpriser på 1500 hybrider per acre og 100 bass per acre veldig bra. Bass må legges til for å kontrollere reproduksjonen tilbake til den grønne solfisken. Bass er igjen og ikke fisket. Jeg tar ut bass på 15 tommer og over. Bass bør være liten og sulten for å holde dammen ren for enhver reproduksjon som vil oppstå. Bedre vekst og fôrkonvertering kan fås med en 36 prosent proteinfôr, selv om den koster litt mer og ikke alltid er tilgjengelig. De fleste matbutikker kan spesielt bestille denne innmatingen. Vær forsiktig med billig fiskefôr. Det kan koste mer i det lange løp med dårlig fiskvekt. 36 prosent proteinfôr skal gjennomsnittlig 2 kg mat til 1 kg fiskforsterkning (vekst). En praktisk guide er å mate hele fôret fisken vil konsumere i en periode på 15 til 20 minutter og justere mengden når fisken vokser. Jeg bruker en fiskemater til å mate min egen hybride Bluegill dam og justere mengden av fôr etter behov. Du må gjenopprette med hybrider når du tar fisk ut for å opprettholde en hybrid Bluegill dam. Dammeierne bør holde oversikt over antall hybrider fjernet og planlegger å gjenopplive det samme tallet aver år. Bass må være liten for å gjenopplive. Du må sette på igjen med Hybrid Bluegill 3-4 tommer eller større i størrelse. Hybrid Bluegill er ikke for alle Hybrider er ikke egnet for alle farm dam situasjoner, og strømpe av disse fiskene i vann der deres ønskelige egenskaper ikke kan utvikles vil nesten alltid resultere i en skuffet dammen eier. Hybrid Bluegill kan ikke bli lager i dam med andre Bluegill eller i dammer hvor andre bluegill kan komme inn i dammen med Hybrids. Hvis du har en dam i nærheten av det som kommer inn i hybriddammen, don8217t lager Hybrid Bluegill. Hvis du ikke vil mate fisken, don8217t lager Hybriden. Hybrid Bluegills high-stocking rate krever et godt matingsprogram. Du vil ha en bassedam. Bass er lagt til for å holde hybridbloggens reproduksjon overlevende. Bass bør være igjen og ikke fisk eller tatt ut. En eksisterende dam som ikke er blitt drept ut med rotonone. Enhver dam fylt med Hybrid Bluegill må være fri for enhver annen bluegill. Don8217t lager Hybrid i dam over en hektar. Dammer over en acre er best utnyttet som en Bass - Bluegill dam. Studier viser om Hybrid82308230 studier viser at de er enklere å fange enn vanlige Bluegill og andre arter av fisk, og de blir ikke kjepp-shy. Forskning viser at veksthastigheten til hybriderne Bluegill kan bli nesten doblet ved supplerende fôring med en god steinbit-pelletmatning. Studier viser hybrider Bluegill er ikke sterile. Studier viser hybrider Bluegill er best egnet for liten dam hvor deres reproduksjon kan være kontroll. Studier har vist at hybrider smaker det samme som andre Bluegill. Undersøk alle lagringsalternativer. Den klare gårddammen vil undersøke alle lagringsalternativer før du bestemmer deg for hvilken type fiskekombinasjon som skal lagres. Mangelen på mange dammer på lager med hybrid Bluegill skyldes ikke fisken, men ikke å vite hvordan man lager fisken og ikke bruker fisken i sin beste bruk. Dammer og innsjøer er våre mest verdifulle akvatiske ressurser. Det kan hjelpe med brannvern og tiltrekke seg mange arter av dyreliv.

Subaru ville være fornøyd med bragging rettighetene som kommer når de bryter 600 000 barriere, og det burde være enkelt.

Nye modeller forventes mars 2017 91515 2017 Outback 2,5 og 3,6 Touring i den briljante brune fargen har blitt avviklet etter at totalt 2000 biler er laget. Tilsynelatende var briljant brutt alltid planlagt som kortslutning på bare 2000 biler. Dette gjaldt også den originale briljantbrune 2013 Outback Special Appearance-pakken, som også var en begrenset produksjonsrunde. Det er fortsatt et godt utvalg av de briljantbrune 2017 Outback Tourings tilgjengelig nasjonalt, og noen blir fremdeles sendt, men de vil ikke være tilgjengelige for lenge. 91315 Foresters valgfrie hjulbue lister har blitt droppet. På grunn av uspesifiserte produksjonsproblemer er hjulbøyelister ikke lenger tilgjengelige. Jeg er ikke sikker på at de noen gang var faktisk tilgjengelig eller satt på en 2017 Forester. Det er sannsynligvis knyttet til vedheft, til dem som bor på bilen. Dette skjedde også på 2014 Foresters - hjulbueforming var antagelig tilgjengelig, men ble falt før de noen gang ble satt på biler. 9716 2016 Impreza og Crosstrek bestillinger slås av. Ingen forhånds advarsel og den faktiske avskjæringen var sannsynligvis på 91 93 august 2016 slik til nye høyder med rekord 60.418 biler solgt i en måned. Hva en måned August 2016 var. en økning på 15 over 52 697 solgte august 2015, en ny toppmånedlig månedlig rekord, den beste måneden noensinne for både Forester og Outback-modellene, pluss den bryter 60 000 barrieren. 60.418 biler er mer enn Subaru of America solgt i noen av de første 9 årene, gjennom 1976. Det var 1977 da Subaru solgte 80.826 i et år. Den forrige beste måneden var desember 2015 med 56.274 solgt. August 2016 ble tallene gjort med eksepsjonell Forester, Outback og Crosstrek-volum (igjen, en rekordmåned for Forester og Outback-modeller), og en stram forsyning av Impreza, WRX STI og BRZ. Den nye 2017 Forester med blind spot deteksjon, revers auto bremsing, og Eyesight v3 er i utgangspunktet selger så fort det ruller av lastebilene. Med en modell best rekord på 19.658 solgt i august, bør Forester være den første modellen for å bryte 20.000 i en måned. Outback var den største gevinsten for måneden på grunn av økt tilbud, med 17 358 som representerer en enorm økning på 56 over 815 salg, og den beste måneden noensinne. Crosstrek fortsetter å bevege seg raskt, og med bedre forsyning forventes som 2017 Impreza-produksjonen flytter til Lafayette, bør tallene øke. Eldre salg øker med august salg på 5800, som er en svært sterk 35 økning over 815 salg, men dette pales ved siden av Toyota Camry for eksempel, med 32.864 solgt i august, så det er mye plass for vekst. Imprezas er i svært liten forsyning da 2016 selger ned fortsetter. Det er fortsatt noen 2016-er kommet inn (ikke mange), og 16-årene kan ikke lenger bestilles (avsluttet 31. august), og de forventede, nyutformede 2017-tallene er ETA sent i november. Det er noen av de oppgraderte 2017 BRZene som begynner å komme nasjonalt, men den ønskelige Prestasjonspakken skyldes i desember (vinter) og ja, verdt å vente på.

Ser på juli-tallene, det beste volumet Outback og Forester gjør det bra. The Outback er oppe vesentlig og Forester er stabil, men ned for måneden. Etter hvert som flere oppgraderte Foresters med den nye Eye Detection og Blind Spot Detection etc blir tilgjengelige, bør tallene øke. Og for å hjelpe det, har Subaru 0 finansiering på 17 Outback, Forester og Legacy (sjekk din lokale forhandler for priser i ditt område). Og Subaru planlegger å gjøre flere Outbacks og Legacys noensinne, så forhandlerne skal ha en forsyning. Subaru har snakket opp den massivt alle nye 17 Impreza på grunn av senere i høst (med Carplay og Android Auto), og det hjelper ikke nåværende 16 modellsalg. Men forsyningen på 16-tallet er allerede litt lav og det er ifølge Subarus planer. Når det gjelder BRZ, bør 17-modellen motivere noen mennesker som ikke er opptatt av den nåværende versjonen. Og WRX og STI er lave produksjonsbiler - en måneds salg er opp, den neste nede, men det er alltid stor interesse.

There was no advance warning. Boom - no more orders accepted. There is still a good supply available nationally so if youre looking for a Crosstrek Hybrid, now is the time. Rambling thoughts on the Crosstrek Hybrid. The Crosstrek is one of Subarus recent success stores, with June sales of 7658. While Subaru doesnt separate 2.0 and Hybrid models in the published monthly counts, the 2.0 models make up the vast majority of Crosstreks purchased. The Hybrid was a successful car when you consider that it was Subarus first US hybrid. It got a lot of attention, was new technology, an all wheel drive mini SUV with good ground clearance, and it fit Subarus practical, and very green, demographics. So what went wrong One reason the car didnt sell was price. While it was very well equipped (perhaps too much so), the Hybrid cloth model MSRP of 27245 was 1300 more than the top of the line Crosstrek 2.0 Limiteds 25945 msrp, and the Hybrid Tourings 30845 sticker price was a whopping 4900 increase over the Limited. The hybrids were better equipped, but still. Yes the Hybrid was zippier with its secondary battery powered 15hp motor but most Crosstrek buyers werent expecting a performance car, and yes the Hybrids did ride quieter than the 2.0 versions but Crosstrek buyers werent necessarily looking for quiet quiet. What the hybrid shoppers looked at was the fuel economy rating and they didnt get past that. They came to see a HYBRID with high fuel economy, an all wheel drive, practical, utility oriented, decent riding Subaru for their family, dog, camping, skiing, gardening, and commute lifestyle. They hoped for 40mpg, all wheel drive, and a roof rack. The real issue, or at least one of the issues, was that Hybrid fell victim to what I think of as the Tribeca Effect. The Tribeca was initially marketed as a 7 passenger, and while it did have 7 seats it was really a 52, and by that, I mean not a true 7 passenger. Back in 06 when the Tribeca was introduced, people came to see Subarus first 7 seater expecting something similar to a minivan or at least Explorer, Pilot, or 4Runner etc, and they left disappointed with the lack of functional 3rd row access and space. It just wasnt a good 7 passenger, and if the car had been billed as a 52 (ie seating for 5, and 2 more in a pinch-so to speak) people would have had much more positive, all important first impressions. They would have known what to expect when they came in. And yes the first Tribeca 3.0L engine was underpowered and took premium gas, and the car was a bit expensive, and the 3 grill look was polarizing (though I liked it). Does anyone miss the BlueConnect bluetooth system Think Subaru Baja mini truck with a tailgate width of 47 when a sheet of plywood is 48. While Subaru has always made high quality, if somewhat different cars, the Tribeca was just mis-marketed, and the Baja wouldnt sell as a truck with a 47 tailgate width. In hindsight, so was the Hybrid. In an age of 40 mpg Priuses loudly shouting hybrid hybrid hybrid HYBRID, the Crosstrek was a minnow swimming with whales. It was rated at 1mpg combined more than the Crosstrek 2.0 versions, and just like with the Tribeca, first time viewers looking at Subarus Hybrid said, why. Why would I spend that much more to get so little. The 2016 2.0 models are currently rated at 2634 30 combined mpg vs the Hybrid at 3034 31 combined mpg. Yes the soon-to-be late Hybrid is zippier (sort of), quieter, better equipped and mostly GREEN, but its not much of a HYBRID. Its just not. Subaru said it was hybrid assisted but that didnt go far enough to change expectations. Perhaps if Subaru had named it the Crosstrek 15 (for the useful 15 additional hp), or the Crosstrek Plus (plus mpg, plus quiet, plus extra features etc), or just the Crosstrek Green people would have more receptive. But naming it the Hybrid and Hybrid Touring led first time viewers down the wrong path expecting to find high MPG, and they didnt look a 2nd time because right next to it on car lots was the less expensive, equally capable all wheel drive Crosstrek 2.0, which they bought and still are buying in quantity. (Disclosure - I have had 2 Crosstreks, a 13 and now a 16 and like them). Dropping the Hybrid means Subaru can focus on, and make more, 2.0 models. Thats a good thing. Another good thing is that if you want a Crosstrek Hybrid, its a great car, well equipped, has a roof rack and ground clearance, and its green, and is still available. Subaru has something planned to replace it (a plug in) coming, but exactly what that will be, and when, is a question. And when Subaru comes out with their new 7 passenger in a few years, hopefully there wont be a Tribeca Effect. 72016 2017 Outback brochures available at dealers 71716 2017 BRZ details and prices announced, and orders now available Subaru is stepping up the game, hoping to excite driving enthusiasts and invigorate the slow selling BRZ sport cars with slightly more power, improved handling, upgraded interior, and optional Performance Paackage. gt More power - new intake and exhaust adds 5hp to 205hp, and more torque to 156lb ft.

Thats a solid increase of 5 YTD total 279,458, which is 7040 (3) over YTD 2015 272418. Subaru continues its roll but at the midpoint through the year isnt quite halfway to the goal of 615,000 cars. But Subaru says now that the SIA (Subaru of Indiana Automotive) is making more Outback and Legacy, the supply should increase. Thats good, but Subaru corporate will need to restrain themselves so not to flood the market with cars because part of the Subaru allure has been that theyre popular, can be hard to get, and they sell quickly. Once every dealer has a lot of unsold inventory sitting on the lots, will Subaru become just another company where the dealer needs to hard sell the cars (to varying degrees) to move the constant incoming stream of inventory the company requires them to take (and sell) Subaru already has low finance rates starting at 1.49 on the 2017 Forester, Outback, and Legacy which are only starting to arrive. The sales leader for June is the Outback, which is Subarus safety leader with new 2017 features including Reverse Automatic Braking and High Beam Headlight Assist. The all new top of the line fully equipped 2017 Outback Touring is now available, with brown leather, low profile standard roof rails, and chrome trim and badging. The Outback Touring, with sticker prices approaching (and sometimes exceeding) 40,000, is aiming up toward the low end of the low end of the near luxury (or premium) car market. The 2017 Forester gets some much needed upgrades including Blind Spot DetectionRear Cross Traffic Alert, the latest version of Eyesight, and improved insulation for a quieter ride.

This new remote start replaces the current factory installed optional remote start available on pushbutton start cars that never has worked well (extremely short range, weak signal). The new system uses a 2nd fob with an excellent signal and around a 400 ft range. This is similar to the remote start system that has been available on models with standard keyed ignition. This new system can be installed on 2014-2017 Foresters and 2015-2017 Outbacks and Legacys with pushbutton start. 2017s ordered with optional remote start will have this new system. 6216 2017 Forester MANUAL transmission factory orders wont be available until August, with delivery (depending on production) in October.

But its the best May ever, and the 54th consecutive month of sales increases. Usually May is usually the start of the current model sell-down as arrival of the new model approaches, but this year Outback and Legacy sales were hobbled by a month long stop saledo not drive recall to replace defective steering columns and then a last minute website glitch over Memorial Day weekend that prevented dealers from searching inventory. The 2017 Outback, Legacy and Forester are all still expected to start arriving in July. WRX and STI will be on lots the first week or so of June. June 2016 sales start with the same interest rates as the May, so Subaru is not concerned at this time about clearing the 2016s before the 17s arrive.

Perhaps Subaru marketing is pushing this out hoping to quickly to bring people back into the dealerships and also to create blog talk and news as a distraction from the Outback and Legacy stop saledo not drive steering column recall. The recall is getting widespread attention, as well as slowing down sales at the dealers and even production of those models in Lafayette. I wonder if 2017 OutbackLegacy model info and ordering will be pushed back to make up for time lost, and if there will be a new, strong incentives on the 2016 Outbacks (0 for example) to bring people back in.

Subaru is slowing down new car production in order to ship correct replacement steering columns to dealers. They know people are driving a rental while their new car has been towed to a dealer. Well have to wait and see if this affects peoples opinions of their new car and purchase experience, and also how it affects the arrival of the 2017 models. Subaru is cutting back on production and overtime at its Indiana plant to free up parts for a big recall. The car-maker has to fix a steering problem in more than 50,000 new Legacies and Outbacks made in Lafayette. Subaru has more than 4,000 workers in Lafayette, its only factory in North America. Thanks to this recall, as many as 3,000 of them may miss out on daily and Saturday overtime for the next few weeks. Factory VP Tom Easterday says thatll free up parts to repair steering issues in 2016 and 2017 Legacies and Outbacks ones made at the plant between February 28 and May 6. So any parts that were scheduled to be used for the overtime production, those parts will now be shipped directly to the dealer to help out with our customers that would need to have the part changed, Easterday says. That means less production and lower inventory until mid-June, which could affect sales. But he hopes theyll make it up and let workers make up the overtime later this year. Thats when the factory plans to add more Outbacks and new Imprezas to its production lines. Easterday says theyve hired a thousand new workers to make those vehicles, with 200 more set to be hired in June. He doesnt expect the recall to slow that process. the original article 51416 Whoa. Subarus parent company Fuji Heavy Industries steps behind the curtain and with a wave of the magicians wand, will reappear on April 1, 2017 (next year) as Subaru Presuming stockholder approval, the company, which has had a number of identities and products over the 60 since it became Fuji Heavy, will rebrand itself with the name of its best known product, Subaru. With Subarus recent growth, many new Subaru car owners are not familiar with the company, they dont know and never heard of Fuji Heavy Industries. In the past few years, Subaru brand pressure washers, generators, and lawn mowers with Subaru engines (previously known as Robin America) have been sold at Costco, Home Depot etc. Subaru would like their other divisions to benefit form their reputation. So Fuji. er Subaru. wants you to know theyre more than a car company. a bit of background. Fuji, not to be confused with Fuji the film company, makes small engines, car parts, industrial machinery, parts for Boeing, helicopters for the Japanese Self Defense Force, Raytheon Hawker, and Eclipse Aviation business jets but theyre best known for Subaru cars. Fuji Heavy Industries traces its roots to the Nakajima Aircraft Company, an early Japanese aircraft company and leading supplier of Japanese fighter components during World War II. That explains Subarus use of the aircraft heritage boxer engine in their cars. At the end of World War II, Nakajima was broken up by the Allied Occupation government into separate companies. On July 15, 1953 five of the companies, Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha Kogyo, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, Utsunomiya Sharyo and Tokyo Fuji Sangyo formed Fuji Heavy Industries.. On a side note, another part of Nakajima evolved into Prince Motor Company which in 1966 merged with, and is now known as, Nissan and was the minority stockholder in Fuji. Subaru minority ownerpartners included Nissan with 20.4 from 1968-1999, GM from 1999-2005, Toyota from 2005 to the present now holds 16.5 of Fuji. In 1989 Subaru and Isuzu opened the Subaru Isuzu Automotive factory in Lafayette, Indiana. When Isuzu sold their part to Subaru in 2001, it was renamed Subaru Indiana Automotive and is still where all Outbacks and Legacys are assembled. All Bajas were also assembled there with Isuzus unused capacity. Then Toyota assembled Camry there until last year. Current SIA expansion plans will have the plant producing Imprezas by the end of this year. Confused Fuji no doubt hopes to simplify things by being Subaru - a name we know. Heres the official press release Tokyo, Japan - Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo President amp CEO: Yasuyuki Yoshinaga) today held an extraordinary meeting of its Board of Directors and resolved to change its company name to SUBARU Corporation with effect from April 1, 2017 (tentative date). Implementation of the name change is subject to shareholder approval for amendments to the Companys Articles of Incorporation at the 85th General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 28, 2016. The origins of FHI date back to the foundation of the Aircraft Research Laboratory (later to become Nakajima Aircraft Co. Ltd.) in 1917. After going through a number of reorganizations, FHI was established under its current name in 1953. Since then, the Company has expanded its businesses ranging from aerospace and industrial products segments to its primary business of Subaru automobiles which began with the introduction of the Subaru 360 minicar in 1958. Today, the Subaru automotive business operates in more than 90 countries worldwide and continues to achieve strong growth thanks to the support of its customers around the globe. For the fiscal year ending March 2017, Subaru projects its global vehicle sales to exceed one million units (1,050,000 units on a consolidated basis) for the first time in its history. In its mid-term management vision Prominence 2020 announced in May 2014, FHI set a corporate vision for 2020 of being a high-quality company that is not big in size but has distinctive strength. To this end, the Company is focusing on two initiatives: enhancing the Subaru brand and building a strong business structure. FHI is taking the opportunity of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 founding of Nakajima Aircraft to change its long-familiar company name and unify it with its brand name. The purpose of this shift is to further accelerate our efforts to enhance the Subaru brand and achieve even greater growth for Subaru as a distinctive global brand in the automotive and aerospace industries. Under our new company name, we will continue to seek sustainable growth by offering Subarus distinctive value of Enjoyment and Peace of Mind to customers worldwide, pursuant to our management philosophy of aiming to be a compelling company with a strong market presence built upon its customer-first principle. Brief History of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. 1917: Chikuhei Nakajima establishes the Aircraft Research Laboratory. 1918: The Aircraft Research Laboratory renamed the Nakajima Aircraft Factory (then incorporated as Nakajima Aircraft Co. Ltd. in 1931). 1945: Nakajima Aircraft Co. Ltd. reorganized as Fuji Sangyo Co. Ltd. switching from aircraft manufacturing to production of civilian goods. 1950: In accordance with the Enterprise Reorganization Act, Fuji Sangyo Co. Ltd. split into 12 companies, including Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha Kogyo, and Utsunomiya Sharyo. 1953: Five of the 12 companies, including Fuji Kogyo, contribute capital to establish Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI acquires and merges with the five companies in 1955). Origin of the Subaru Name: Subaru is a Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster. Subaru was the first brand to use a Japanese name for its vehicles. The name symbolizes the unity of the six companies related to Nakajima Aircraft that merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries. 51316 Recall and Stop SaleDo Not Drive on some new 2016 and early production 2017 Outbacks and Legacys assembled after February 29th that might have a bad steering column. Recall WTD-65 Around 52,000 (48,500 U. S. and 3,500 Canadian) 2016 and early 2017 Outback and Legacy might have an improperly manufactured steering column that can come loose resulting in a loss of steering and control. Vehicles assembled within the production dates and VIN range have to be visually inspected by a Subaru dealer. Subaru is first working to inspect cars already purchased and being driven. This is a Stop SaleDo Not Drive recall where dealers cannot sell or test drive vehicles until they have been inspected and the steering column replaced if necessary. The problem was discovered May 3 when the owner of a 2016 Outback reported trouble. Subaru says there have been no crashes or injuries. If necessary, dealers will make arrangements to send a technicians to a customers location to inspect the steering column. If they werent manufactured properly, they will be replaced starting in mid-May. The company will offer loaner cars until parts are available but some people whose cars arent driveable havent even gotten their license plates or their new car purchase experience survey yet. Subaru of America spokesman Mike McHale said. We have the details of the owners and are contacting them directly, he said. Subaru does not know how exactly many cars will have the problem. The problem affects cars worldwide, but McHale said he did not know the number. The vehicles to inspect include 2016 models made Feb. 29 - May 6, 2016. 2016 Legacys with VIN G3045004 to G3059641, 2016 Outbacks with VIN G3307507 to G334-6346 2017 models made from April 18-29, 2016.

If you have a Subaru, recalls are noted on your MySubaru account. From NHTSA An incorrect setting of a tool used in production of the steering column may have resulted in improper machining of one of the steering column shafts. If this improper machining condition exists, the steering column shaft may not engage properly. If this were to occur, the steering wheel may rotate freely and the driver would lose the ability to steer the vehicle. (steering column) Production Dates Feb 29, 2016 - MAY 06, 2016 To remedy this condition, it is necessary to inspect the lot number of the steering column. If the vehicle contains a steering column with one of the affected lot numbers, the steering column must be replaced. Until the vehicle has been inspected, owners are advised not to drive their vehicle.

Subaru is extremely proud that this is the 52nd month of sales increases and the 25th month with sales over 40,000. And 2016 YTD 132,281 is another record, with 1,116 cars or 1 over 131,281 cars YTD March 2015 (which was the previous best first quarter). March 2016 by model Outback saved the month. All models are down except the WRXSTI (up 226 cars), and Outback (up a strong 1618 cars, 13). The big declines were Forester -5 and Legacy -10. The 2016 Forester is starting to wind down and the popular Eyesight is hard to keep in stock, and the Legacy is a great car that cant grab a big market share. But watching these numbers go up or down every month is like watching a boat. it rocks up and down with the waves but whats important is if it keeps moving ahead. Subaru makes a great car, and likes the big lead-in best month ever story line, the monthly growth is what makes data crunching marketers and big desks happy, but the real story unfolds at the end of the book, on the last day and page of the year. was it a good year, hopefully it was as good or even better than last year but whats important, what got Subaru to be the larger company it is today, is if Subaru made a better car this year than last year, were there fewer recalls than previous years, and did they hold their own against the rising tide of competitors jealous of and completely imitating their advertising and style and targeting their AWD market The auto industry analysts and survey companies only like sales increases, ie theyd bet on the hare. But not every month or year has to have growth be better for it to have been a success, ie growth is good but is not the only measure of success. Coming months Many Forester buyers want hard to find Eyesight models, or are waitinghoping for the coming 17s to have blind spot detection, and many Impreza buyers will wait for the all new 17 model due later this year (Android Auto and Carplay). Crosstrek buyers have bought everything available. Outback and Legacy models will start clearing out as 17s get closer, due this summer the month Forester 14,284, down 683 (-5) from 14,967 315.

Then drive calmly for the first mile or so. I would recommend that always always always. whether a brand new car or an old one, if you want a car to last, treat it nicely when its cold. Heres a Q amp A from the Bend Oregon Bulletin at bendbulletinbusiness4105648-151warming-up-subaru-not-necessary Q: I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza. I have to wait until the blue thermostat light on the dash goes off before I drive the car. Do you think this is necessary It seems like a waste of gas. A: It is a waste. When the engine is first started, this light will be red for a moment during its self-test, then turn blue until it goes off when the engine is sufficiently warmed up as per the Subaru owners manual. Does this mean you shouldnt drive the car until the blue light goes off Subaru would like you to wait, but I dont think its necessary. Like any engine, 15 to 30 seconds of initial warmup, unless temperatures are extremely low, then operating the vehicle gently until it is sufficiently warmed up is the best and most efficient way to bring the catalyst system up to temperature to minimize emissions and maximize fuel efficiency. Id consider the blue light a reminder, not a mandate. 31216 2017 Impreza to be shown at the NY Auto Show March 23 This is will be Subarus first US car on their new Global Platform that will become the underpinnings for future Subaru. What to look for in a new Impreza Slightly larger Longer wheelbase for a smoother ride and bigger back seat More practical 5 door cargo door and body design. Its tight in the current the Impreza 5door and Crosstreks due to the aerodynamically focused slope of the rear gate. More integration of the safety technologies - Eyesight and Starlink internet connectivity. And hopefully with scheduled US production and other benefits described below, Subarus will keep the same price points. Heres the press release Tokyo, March 7, 2016 Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, has unveiled an overview of the Subaru Global Platform, which is currently under development as the architecture to be used for all the Companys next-generation vehicles. The Subaru Global Platform is part of the six initiatives to enhance the Subaru brand described in the Companys mid-term management vision, Prominence 2020,announced in 2014. Together with the horizontally-opposed engines, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), and EyeSight that represent Subarus core technologies, the new platform will constitute the basic foundation of the next generation of Subaru vehicles. Marking the launch of the new concept, FHI President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said, The Subaru Global Platform lifts Subarus automotive technology to new heights, and marks the next step in the evolution of Enjoyment and Peace of Mind, the value that Subaru offers to its customers. This new platform represents the culmination of the know-how we have developed over many years, and we are confident that it will allow us to produce vehicles that live up to our proud traditions and meet the high expectations customers have of Subaru. We continue to work on designing ever-more attractive vehicles that offer the customer both enjoyment and peace of mind. Main Features of Subaru Global Platform The next-generation platform is designed with the future in mind, and looks ahead to 2025. The main features include: Subarus biggest-ever enhancement in overall vehicle performance 1. Emotionally engaging Dynamic feel that goes beyond high performance 2. The worlds highest levels of safety Single design concept for development of all models, adaptable to electrification in the future Subarus Biggest-ever Enhancement in Overall Vehicle Performance 1. Emotionally engaging Dynamic feel that goes beyond high performance. The new platform will make possible a new type of driving experience, appealing directly to the senses and offering unparalleled smoothness and comfortall backed up by excellent performance and specifications. Specifically, the new platform will further refine Subarus dynamic feel in the following areas: (1) straight line stability, (2) noise and vibration suppression, and (3) comfort. (1) Straight line stability The new platform dramatically increases rigidity throughout the body and chassis (a 70 to 100 increase over present models) and incorporates substantial improvements to the suspension system and achieve a lower center of gravity, bringing about highly responsive steering that allows drivers to control the vehicle precisely as they want. The eradication of unnecessary movement in handling makes the car seem to grip the road surface, achieving a traveling performance that looks ahead to the need for enhanced straight line stability in the autonomous vehicles of the future. (2) Noise and vibration suppression. Optimized frame structure and stronger joints between parts allow the new platform to improve overall torsional rigidity by 70 over present models. This distributes the resonance and distortion throughout the body, greatly reducing vibrations from the steering wheel, floor, and seats. It achieves a quietness that goes beyond vehicle class. (3) Comfort The new platform increases the rigidity of the suspension mounting, improving the absorption of the suspension without warping the body of the car, and providing a smooth and comfortable drive whatever the irregularities in the road surface. By mounting the rear stabilizer directly to the body, the new platform reduces the body roll of the vehicle by 50 compared to present models. 2 The worlds highest levels of safety Active safety - The new platform achieves a center of gravity that is 5 mm lower than present models. Together with the major improvements in rigidity and the evolution of the suspension system, this lower center of gravity makes possible a more stable driving experience than ever before, and offers outstanding danger avoidance capabilities on a level with a high-performance sports car. Passive safety - Thanks to a frame structure that enables more efficient energy absorption in the event of collision and the enhanced body rigidity resulting from the increased use of high-tensile steel plates including materials formed by the hot press method, impact energy absorption is improved by 40 over present models. The platform anticipates further improvements in strength and new materials and has the potential to continue to offer the worlds highest levels of collision safety even in 2025. Single Design Concept for Development of All Models, Adaptable to Electrification in the Future - The new platform will offer a single unified design concept for all Subaru models. Planning the main specifications of all vehicle types at one time and flexibly adjusting these basic specifications to match with the requirements of different models will strengthen the entire Subaru lineup while still allowing the Company to develop models that take advantage of each models strengths. The new concept allows one design concept to be adapted not only to gasoline engines but also to hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids, electric cars, and other types of alternative power units for which demand will increase further. Development based on a single design concept makes it possible to use limited development personnel and facilities efficiently to develop a diverse range of models and to direct the resulting savings into areas that can make our products more competitive. It will also become possible to produce platform components for multiple models in the same one production facility, rather than manufacturing them in different factories as has been the case in the past. This will increase production efficiency at Subarus factories and at our partner companies. The new unified design concept will also make it easier for our two factories in Japan and the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in the United States to carry out bridge production of multiple different models on a single line, making our global production system more flexible. The Subaru Global Platform that offers these benefits will be used in the development of all Subaru vehicles from now on, beginning with the next-generation Impreza, due to hit the market in 2016. FHI remains true to its management philosophy - to become a compelling company with a strong market presence on the basis of customer-first policy. The Company will continue to pursue engineering excellence and offer its customers Enjoyment and Peace of Mind to achieve FHISubaru distinctive presence Heres the original press release fhi. co. jppressfileuploadsnews-en0307-Subaru-Global-Platform-en1.pdf Heres an article from Chris Bruce at autoblog Subaru will follow a current industry trend by introducing a modular chassis later this year, and the so-called Subaru Global Platform will underpin all of the Japanese automakers future models. Well see it first on the new Impreza, which will go on sale in the second half of 2016. Subaru claims its new platform offers 70-100 percent greater rigidity compared to the companys current models, and the stiffer chassis means less vibration travels through the vehicle to the steering wheel and seats, which results in an easier time for the driver. A 40-percent increase in impact energy absorption should also mean improved safety. Customers might experience a more exciting drive from the future Subarus, too. The company claims the new platform lowers the center gravity by 0.2 inches, which should sharpen handling. The engineers now mount the rear stabilizer directly to the body, which is said to reduce body roll by 50 percent over current models. It also supports hybrid, plug-in, and EV drivetrains to adapt to the future. After the Impreza lets us experience the Subaru Global Platform later this year, the company already has other models with it under development. For example, the XV Concept from Geneva hints at a sharper look for the next-gen compact crossover. The new WRX reportedly joins the range in 2017 and possibly gets an extra boost from hybrid power. A seven-passenger CUV also joins the US lineup in 2018. So much new product on the way could let Subaru keep up its brisk sales pace for years to come. the article autoblog20160307subaru-global-platform-future-models Heres an article from Automotive News Subaru is embarking on engineering, design and technology overhauls to keep the small-scale, niche brand competitive in a global industry in which high volumes matter like never before. The first two changes will debut in the next-generation Impreza small car arriving in the second half of the year: a new modular platform Subaru says will improve safety and driving performance, and a new design language dubbed Dynamic X Solid to enliven the brands image. After those moves, Subaru will roll out new automated-driving technologies beginning with a traffic-jam autopilot. Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Subaru-maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. said the new technologies and design language are pillars of his plan to boost global sales to 1.1 million vehicles in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. We want to further extend Subarus strengths, Yoshinaga said while unveiling the initiatives at Fuji Heavys headquarters here. The new platform aims to cut costs while improving safety and dynamics. Executives repeatedly said they benchmarked top European brands and compared the new platforms high-speed emergency evasive handling to that of German sports cars. Dubbed the Subaru Global Platform, it will underpin all the brands nameplates. It can accommodate gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric drivetrains. Subaru expects to save money because it will be possible to produce components for multiple models at any one factory. This will enable Subaru to shift production among factories in the U. S. and Japan quickly to adjust to changing demand. Subaru can also focus its limited personnel and engineering resources on variations of one platform. The new platform should be able to underpin Subaru vehicles through 2025 with regular improvements, executives said. Subaru aims to channel savings into better performance, said Tetsuo Onuki, vice president of global engineering. The goal is a better product without raising sticker prices, he said. Among the improvements: Body rigidity improves 70 to 100 percent. Center of gravity is lowered for better handling. Collision impact absorption improves 40 percent. Noise and vibration is reduced 15 percent. Starting with the car coming out this year, we will advance to the next level, using the new Subaru Global Platform to provide Subaru with more safety and fun every year, said Naoto Muto, executive vice president for global engineering. More dynamic styling is part of the improvement. The new looks were first explored in the Viziv 2 Concept in 2014 and fleshed out in the Viziv Future Concept crossover and Impreza Concept shown in October at the Tokyo Motor Show. The design language beefs up the stance and body volume to imbue the cars with a more rugged, sporty aura. The front fascia is more chiseled the fender flares are more muscular. Subarus safety strategy also entails new autonomous driving targets based on the brands camera-based EyeSight system. Next year, Subaru will introduce a new traffic-jam assist function that will allow the vehicle to start and stop automatically in slow traffic and steer automatically around curves. Subarus current system requires the driver to re-engage acceleration manually once the vehicle has stopped. Existing technology does not feature automatic steering. By 2020, Subaru said it will introduce a semiautonomous highway driving function. That system will enable automated lane changing and automated steering around curves, by combining radar sensors and GPS mapping with EyeSight. Subaru is relying on the changes to stoke its surging sales for continued gains. Subaru targets its eighth straight year of record sales and ninth year of growth in the U. S. in 2016. U. S. sales are expected to increase 5.5 percent to 615,000 vehicles. the original article autonewsarticle20160312OEM03303149991how-subaru-plans-to-stay-competitive 3916 April advertising campaign.

Each of the winners invites readers to explore their own world or to prepare themselves to explore other worlds. One introduces the world of microbes to the very youngest readers, while another connects the exploration of the physical world to the medical advances of the last century. A third trains the astronauts who will be the first humans to set foot on Mars, and the fourth shows youngsters how to explore the environment through the eyes of a naturalist. AAAS and Subaru of America, Inc. co-sponsor the prizes to recognize recently published works that are scientifically sound and foster an understanding and appreciation of science in readers of all ages. This years prizes which promote science literacy by showcasing the importance of outstanding science writing and illustration recognize the work of four authors as well as an illustrator. AAAS is pleased to join with Subaru to celebrate these outstanding science books and authors, said Alan I. Leshner, chief executive officer of AAAS and executive publisher of its journals, Science, Science Advances, Science Translational Medicine, and Science Signaling. By encouraging young people to engage with the world through exploration and discovery, the winning books help lay the groundwork for a lifelong relationship with science. The 2015 prizes recognize efforts in four categories: Childrens Science Picture Books, Middle Grades Science Books, Young Adult Science Books, and Hands-on Science Books. Winners will receive 1,500 and a plaque on 13 February during the 2015 AAAS Annual Meeting in San Jose, California. Tom Doll, president of Subaru of America, Inc. congratulated the winners for their outstanding contribution to science writing and illustration. As a technology company, we are delighted to be able to support AAAS in activities that promote childrens exploration of science and technology, he said. The prizes are administered by the AAAS review journal, Science Books amp Films (SBampF). SBampF editor-in-chief Maria Sosa noted that the 180 books considered for the prize across all four categories represented the largest number of submissions since the programs inception. This years competition was intense, she said. Publishers and authors have certainly upped their game with this years offerings. It bodes well for the integration of reading and science in formal and informal science education. These books make it easier to connect the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core Standards, said Shirley M. Malcom, head of the AAAS Directorate for Education and Human Resources. These books provide solid science information in really enjoyable packages. Its refreshing to be able to avoid the tradeoff between reading for pleasure and pleasurable reading for information The 2015 prize recipients are: WINNING CHILDRENS SCIENCE PICTURE BOOK - Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes, by Nicola Davies.

Portlandia creators and stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein have teamed up with longtime partner Subaru for a four-part Web series tied to their hit IFC show. In Talkative Driver, Armisen plays an unusually chatty car service driver discussing his every thought with increasingly impatient passengers. Subaru, which has been a partner since the debut of Portlandia in 2011, has been integrated into the show since Season 2. This year we wanted to evolve the partnership a little bit, said Blake Callaway, evp of marketing and digital media at IFC. So we went to the writers room and created this first standalone Web series. In addition to the Web series, which people can watch on IFCs website, Subaru will continue to be integrated in the satirical sketch comedys sixth season. Dos Equis will also come on board, and Geico returns for a so-called near-show integration. the article 114 Starlink app and navigation press release from SEMA auto show in Las Vegas.

Its true. This is an industry problem, its not just Subaru. Check out the article Consumer Reports did on this issue last June (read the CR article ). The oil consumption (notice its not oil burning) seems to be related to the use of lighter 0w-20 oil in low friction engines that allow some of the oil to be forced by the rings. Its not smelly blue smoke coming out the back and it doesnt seem to be clogging catalytic converters (or at least I havent heard), its just evaporating. It becomes a problem when engines use a quart every 1000-2000 miles or so. Engines use some oil, they always have, and when we changed oil every 3 months or 3000 miles it wasnt as noticeable as it is now that the interval is 6 months or 6000 miles. The low friction engines are designed for improved economy and more power because the engine itself requires less power to keep itself running (low friction turns over easier). progress and new technologies bring both new improvements and new problems. Im not an automotive engineer but this simple explanation seems somewhat reasonable. Engines that are driven harder with fast starts, or with higher compression such as manual transmissions that are revved up or downshifted to slow down, seem to use more oil. Subaru certainly is aware of the problem and is working to resolve it. Check your oil every 2 or 3 gas station visits for example - on flat ground, and after the engine sits while you pump the gas - and if you think youre using oil, contact your dealer and they will start an oil consumption test. updated 24 models included in the settlement include some but not all 2011-2014 Forester CVT transmission 2011-2015 Forester manual transmission 2012-2013 Impreza CVT transmission 2012-2015 Impreza manual transmission 2013 Crosstrek CVT transmission 2013-2015 crosstrek manual transmission 2013 Outback CVT transmission 2013-2014 Outback manual transmission 2013 Legacy CVT transmission 2013-2014 Legacy manual transmission 11 016 Heres the article on the proposed class action settlement Subaru of America has agreed to settle a class action accusing it of knowingly selling cars that have a defect causing them to burn excessive amounts of oil. Subaru has agreed to extend warranties on affected vehicles, and reimburse vehicle owners for expenses related to the defect. On Jan. 4, the lead plaintiffs asked the court to approve this preliminary settlement. This proposed settlement will provide most class members with as much or more compensation as they may have obtained had this case proceeded through certification and trial, the lead plaintiffs assert. The original class action lawsuit filed by lead plaintiffs Keith Yeager and Michael Schuler alleged that Subaru knew that certain models of vehicles had defective piston rings that would cause extra oil to burn off the engine. According to the class action lawsuit, Subaru did not tell consumers about the oil burning defect, and that deception caused car owners to spend considerable money on extra engine oil, but also on engine repairs trying to fix the underlying problem. In addition, the class action lawsuit claims that Subaru improperly denied many warranty repairs, and then, more recently, secretly changed the scope of its warranty coverage without telling affected drivers. Since the original filing, seven other named plaintiffs have been added to the Subaru class action lawsuit, alleging the same defect in different model vehicles and states. To settle the oil burning defect class action lawsuit, Subaru has agreed to increase the warranty on vehicles with the defect from the original 5-year 60,000-mile warranty, to an 8-year 100,000-mile warranty. In addition, Subaru has agreed to compensate vehicle owners for the following expenses: (i) vehicle repairs (including parts and labor) (ii) rental cars (iii) towing and (iv) the purchase of up to six quarts of oil per vehicle. Subaru has agreed to pay 100 of those costs, if claimants can provide reasonable proof of their expenses. Finally, Subaru has agreed to provide a free oil consumption test as well as TSB repairs for any owners or leasers of defective vehicles. The Subaru oil burning defect lawsuit is asking the court to certify a Class of all current or former owners or lessors of defective Subaru models originally purchased or leased in the continental United States and Alaska. Notice of the settlement will be mailed directly to Class Members, who will have to file claims to receive compensation. The actual Subaru models that are part of the potential settlement and details on the claim filing process were not immediately available.

Crosstreks continue to be the hard to find, an overnight success 3 years after its 2013 model introduction. The new 2016 models 7 upgraded audio and blind spot detection has of course been getting people to take a 2nd look. The base 2.0i and Premium model 6.2 audio system is disappointing. The top selling 2016 Foresters upgraded 7 audio system on all except 2.5i base model, has helped the Forester compete with the 2 selling 2016 Outbacks blind spot detection. The Forester retains the classic straight-forward utility, functionality and safety of the Subarus that helped establish the companys current reputation. It may be square but it works Outback with current safety technology (seat cushion airbags, upgraded eyesight, blind spot detection) and a comfortable, quiet ride is now a car people aspire to. The 2016 WRX and STI are, as always, strong cult favorites, despite missing a 5 door hatchback version since the 2014 model. The WRX CVT is a good compromise for the performance buyer who doesnt want to shift. While the paddle shifters work, they should be made a little more responsive, with a crisper shift response. The Impreza, first offered in 1993, still does well even with competition from its higher sitting Impreza Crosstrek sibling. or perhaps its because of the Crosstrek. Can we say that those early Impreza hatchbacks were the first mini-utes The BRZ is a beautiful car, especially the Premium model which has clean, classic lines without the fussy rear spoiler on the Limited. But its a rear wheel drive car in an all-wheel-drive world and sales continue to drop year after year from the high of 8587 cars sold its first full year (2013 model).
