They've been on a roll for a while now, wow.
With 4EATs and no DI. Imagine when they update those.

What the flip?
Eyesight, Starlink.... ? Seriously, Subaru, focus on driver's cars, not cars that drive themselves! I wonder if we can trade that gimmicky junk in on diesel tech for North America?!

The market wants that stuff....the take rate is very high so far.

I still think the ultimate is going to be some standardized MicroUSB dock/interface in the dash.
I mean, I can drop my phone in a dock and do nav, Pandora, Siriux/XM, TUneIn, my GooglePlay or Amazon cloud MP3s, and a ton of other things. Who needs a head unit?

I don't want another monthly bill since I already pay for my smart phone, but OEMs want that income.

That's the take rate amongst the non-driver population. There are still those of us who want cars.

They have to meet the market where it's at to survive. The challenge is to maintain their brand ID while doing so which includes a distinctive driving and ergonomic experience. Fussy touchscreen ventilation controls, for ex., seem more Ford/Lincoln than Subaru
