Share The Love 2011 is Here!!

Also our annual food drive is here!!


We have so many people in our area that need help. Please stop by the dealership and donate what you can.

Canned foods,boxed goods (mac n' cheese etc.) are also welcome!

We know our owners care. That's why we created the "Share the Love" event. You get a great deal on a new Subaru, and we'll donate $250 to your choice of five charities. With your help, we've donated nearly $15 million to charity over the past three years. We hope to donate another five million by sharing the love again this year.

• 

  American Forests protects and restores forests and is the oldest conservation nonprofit in the country. Our planet's health depends on forests to provide clean air, clean water and habitat for wildlife. For every $250 donated to American Forests through the "Share the Love" event, they will plant 200 trees to help support a cooler, greener, healthier world for generations to come.

• 

  The ASPCA® has been the voice for animals for 145 years, providing relief, care, and service to those in need. Whether it's rescuing animals from abuse, introducing and enforcing more humane legislation or supporting shelter communities, each donation furthers efforts to help animals live better lives.

• 

  When kids with life-threatening medical conditions are granted their one true wish, they get the strength to keep fighting. Their families come back together. And lives get better for everyone involved. Each donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation® helps grant more wishes to kids.

• 

  Meals On Wheels Association of America provides meals and nutrition services to the elderly, working with thousands of local Meals On Wheels programs and nearly two million volunteers. Each donation aids their mission to end senior hunger.

• 

  Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop physical fitness, realize their potential and experience friendship and acceptance. Each donation to Special Olympics helps transform lives through the joy of sports.

• Select Your Charity

FAQ's

How do I select the charity or charities I want to receive the donation?

You can make your charity selection on subaru.com/share, by calling 1-800-SUBARU3, or by filling out a self-addressed, prepaid envelope provided by your dealer. You will be asked to provide your name, contact information, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and charity selection. Subaru will then make the donation on your behalf. Visit http://www.subaru.com/share to learn more about the program and each of the five participating charities.

What if I want to split the donation (i.e. select more than one charity) or vote more than once?

Each customer who has purchased or leased a new Subaru (2011 or 2012) can either allocate the $250 donation to one charity, or split it amongst any number of the five charities. Only one donation (of $250) is made per vehicle sale or lease.

How long do I have to make the charity selection?

While we encourage customers to make their charity selection at the dealership at the time of purchase, selections will be accepted through January 31, 2012.

I bought a car, but forgot to submit my charity selection. Where does the money go?

For those who do not make their charity selection by January 31, 2012, Subaru will distribute the donation evenly among the five charities.

How will I know that the donation was made?

You will receive a 'thank you' letter from Subaru and the five charities once all of the submissions have been processed. Customers who do not make their charity selection by January 31, 2012 will receive a letter from Subaru thanking them for their purchase.

By what date will Subaru make the donations to each charity? How much money is expected to be donated?

Subaru will make the donation to each charity by March 1, 2012. During last year's "Share the Love" event, Subaru donated $5 million, and Subaru is hoping to donate up to $5 million again this year.

Do I get a tax credit for this donation?

Because the donation is being made by Subaru each of the participating charities, donations are not tax-deductible to purchasers.

*Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased from November 19, 2011 through January 3, 2012 to one of the following five charities: American Forests, ASPCA®, Make-A-Wish Foundation®, Meals On Wheels Association of America and Special Olympics; with a minimum guaranteed donation of $250,000 to each charity, and up to $5,000,000 total. Purchasers must make their charity designations by January 31, 2012. See Subaru.com for details.

Automotive News -- February 28, 2011 - 2:00 pm ET

Honda Motor Co. posted the best overall score of 74 out of 100 points in the Consumer Reports' ranking. Honda was followed by Subaru  with 73 points and Toyota Motor Corp. with 71 points. Volvo placed fourth with 68 points, followed by Ford with 67 and Hyundai.

Chrysler Group LLC had the worst ranking among the car makers with 43 points. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and General Motors also placed near the bottom of the rankings.

The Ford Mustang was the No. 1 pick among sports cars, placing a U.S. manufacturer at the top of that list for the first time in six years. Top picks in other categories include Honda Motor Co.'s Fit for the new category of budget cars Hyundai Co.'s Elantra for small cars and Nissan Motor Co.'s Altima for family sedans for the second year.

"The (best picks) come from many different manufacturers," Consumer Reports' Director of Automotive Testing David Champion said in an interview. "At one time, it used to be dominated by Honda and Toyota."

According to the magazine, no Honda product scores less than average in reliability. Currently, Consumer Reports recommends 76 percent of the Honda vehicles it has tested. But some new Honda models have been unimpressive, the magazine said, including the new CR-Z coupe and Insight hybrids. The two hybrids didn't score well enough in tests to be recommended.

The redesigned Odyssey, the magazine's top-ranked minivan, also dropped a few points in its test score, compared with the previous year.

Subaru has the highest average road-test score -- 81 -- as measured by the magazine. And while the Japanese automaker only markets a half-a-dozen models, they all do well in Consumer Reports' road tests and nearly all are reliable. The Forester is a top-rated small SUV, and the Legacy sedan has been improved with each generation. Only one model, the sporty Impreza WRX, has below-average reliability, the magazine said.

Toyota, which last week recalled 2.17 million vehicles for floor mats that may jam accelerator pedals, claimed three of the 10 top picks, the most of any automaker. Toyota's RAV4 is the top small sport-utility vehicle, its Prius is the top environmentally friendly car for the eighth consecutive year, and its Sienna is the top family hauler.

An automaker's overall score is based on a composite of road-test and predicted-reliability scores for all tested vehicles. The magazine's road test score is based on more than 50 tests and evaluations, covering performance, safety, fuel economy, comfort, and convenience. Reliability scores come from Consumer Reports' Annual Auto Survey, which included histories of 1.3 million vehicles.

The rankings by Consumer Reports influence car buyers and are published in the magazine's annual auto issue. Consumer Reports, published by Consumers Union, uses vehicle owner reliability surveys from 1.3 million people, government and insurance-industry crash tests and its own evaluations of how vehicles function for its ratings.

Dustin and Kyle's Subaru Adventure!!

Here is  a write up from our liaisons in the field  to a rally Event in Eastern Missouri. The 100 Acre Rally is always sure to excite! Thanks to Kyle and Dustin for being such loyal Subaru enthusiasts! We appreciate all you have done for the Subaru community and for Earl Duff Subaru! Please enjoy the following article and pictures.

Local Subaru owners, Kyle Sherrill & Dustin McCoy attend 100 Acre Wood Rally

 

We set out on a Thursday evening in Dusty's '02 WRX full of rally excitement.   There are not too many times when rally racing comes this close to East Tennessee and this was one of the few occasions where we actually had time, so we jumped at the opportunity.  The drive would take us on a round trip of 1330 miles, all the way through Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois, to the vast rural expanse of Eastern Missouri.  We arrived to a sold out hotel in Salem, MO at 1:00 AM.  The parking lot at the hotel was full of rally prepped Subaru's. 

The next morning we had breakfast with the rally teams.  Sitting next to us at the continental breakfast was Lance Smith, owner of Vermont Sportscar and Director of the Subaru Rally Team USA.  Sitting with him was XGames gold medalist, Dave Mirra.  After breakfast we set out for the park expose' where we were given the chance to meet the rally drivers and get an up-close and personal look at the cars. 

Subaru of America had a VIP booth setup exclusively for Subaru owners. To gain entry all we had to present was our Subaru keys.  At the back of the booth, Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra, both of Subaru's Rally Drivers, were signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.   Walking through the crowd we ran into Lance Smith and had a chance to talk with him.  We all thought he was a really genuine guy as well as a huge Subaru enthusiast.  He even had us do a small interview with a SOA Media representative, just to let Subaru know that their money was not going to waste, and just how large of a following Rally America has.  The number of Subaru drivers there was enormous.  For those 2 or 3 days, Salem has to become the flat four capital of the U.S.  This just shows how much love Subaru owners have for the sport that made Subaru a house hold name for most enthusiasts.

That afternoon, following the park expose' we checked our rally guide and traversed our way to the first spectator area.  After a short wait in the woods on the side of a dirt road, we heard off in the distance a faint boxer rumble. The first car around the bend was Travis Pastrana in his Impreza WRX STI.  It reminded us again, why we loved Subaru and rally racing. 

After the first stage, the teams would drive one more stage before returning to the pit area for service.  This gave us time to head to the third stage, which would be one of two night stages.  There is nothing like a night stage of rally racing.  Spectators bundled up and standing at the edge of the woods, all waiting the sight of headlights to see the sideways driving, dirt slinging excitement that was to come.

The next day it was business as usual for the drivers, with them having another park expose' in downtown Salem.  The town was packed out with people, so we opted to skip out on this since we had already met the drivers the day before.  So we met up with our buddies and headed out to what would be our final stage. 

The stage itself was exciting with the spectator area once again setup at a hairpin and the drivers digging in for the final day of racing.  When we left Travis Pastrana had a commanding lead. But during the Super Special later on that day, Travis broke a control arm and was unable to get the car back to running.  

All in all it was a fantastic weekend of racing.  The best part about it is that the whole thing is free to the public!  All you have to do is get there.  This might have been the first time we have ever been to this race, but it definitely won't be our last.

  

Again guys thanks for allowing us to use your article and pictures! We look forward to more in the future!

Sincerely,

Benjamin Ray
