This whole thread is a troll, but i'll play along
So is Subaru still paying Audi royalty fees? You know, Audi invented 4wd/awd in motorsport, completely re-made the sport of rallying, and in every motorsport where they ran quattro vehicles new rules had to be invented to keep them from dominating. Doesn't Subaru still pay Audi for getting to run along in their shadow?
Oddly enough, the BMW E30 3 series ran in some WRC events, both in M3 and 325i trim. The latter sometimes ran RWD [325i] and sometimes as AWD [325iX]. AFAIK, this was only privateer teams, and they weren't all that successful.
How must Subaru owners feel to be beaten in WRC by Citroen and Peugot? FRENCH cars! French FWD cars that look ridiculous!
Most european car owners don't have the insecurity issues that generally lead someone to go picking fights with other brands of cars. Suffice it to say, anyone that can buy a new BMW could have bought *any *new Subaru instead, and for whatever reason elected not to.
[probably because Subies don't help them bag the big-haired women at the health-club that would be otherwise inaccessible to them].

Wait just kidding Subaru is no longer participating. For real though my parents are huge into german cars. They are nothing special and cost ten times more to fix. Also simple stuff we have had to order from germany. My moms car sat in the shop for a week waiting for an ignition, and it was like 600$! Before that it was three a/c compressors that just kept not working.

I didn't realize that subaru was paying royalties to Audi. Do you have a link to back that up? Not saying they don't, its just the first time I'd heard it and before <u>I</u> repeat it I want to know the source.

Oh...and I could have afforded a BMW, yet I chose 2 Subarus...why is that I wonder?

oh, Subie paying Audi royalties was something i just made up. My claim is that, w.r.t. German cars, Subaru's rally wins are not something to try and lord over German marques in aggregate. (it's true that BMW hasn't had any WRC wins [although they run X5s and X6s in Paris-Dakhar quite frequently].)
After all, in the early 80s, Audi was destroying all comers in motorsports with their newly introduced AWD system [which everyone said wouldn't work on sports cars, blah blah]
As I recall, Subaru was making the 50hp GL wagon.

Many German car owners disagree. Nobody is making you buy one
