Is it just me or do all Subaru drivers vote for Obama? What is it with Subaru's and Obama stickers? They are thick around these parts.

A strange curiosity of psychology that I'm sure the marketing people study and try to exploit.

Like driving a Ram truck makes you more of a man. Those commercials are so obvious and transparent as to be hilarious, but they must work. They provide employment for a certain gravel voiced cowboy actor, just like the Camel guy and Marlboro man and cigarettes. The Subaru commercials appealing to certain segments are just slightly more subtle.

I'd drive one if the price is right. They're good cars.

If you live in Boulder, Colorado, I believe it's mandatory that at least one of your vehicles be a Subaru.

I rented one for a week this past summer and was favorably impressed. Great gas mileage, enough pep for passing on the interstates, and full-time 4WD.

My sons seem to buck the trend. The oldest carries a Glock. The youngest a 1911. They were both outraged by the election results.

Each chose their used Subaru cars because the doggone things are great snow cars.

Someday they'll grow up and buy Ford Superduty pickups!

No Obama sticker, just an elk sticker.

No it's not just you. I think the 'coexist' sticker is put on at the factory.

Wife drives an Outback and leans heavily to the right. She seems to be the exception to the rule. Most other subaru's we see typically are plastered with some sort of hippy BS.

Really liked our Forester and like T-Zone said, I'd buy another if the price were right. 30 mpg on the highway, no maintenance issues in the 3.5 years of ownership and all wheel drive (can't say 4wd, because it's really not 4wd in the true sense of the phrase).

Like was said before, they market to the eco-nuts so that's why you see a disproportionate amount of them with "Coexist", Sierra Club and Obama stickers. Not to mention that Subaru boasts at having zero waste production facilities. All in all a solid, well built small SUV.

I would drive a WRX in a heartbeat if I was looking for a small car, they are freaking fast and have the best sounding four cylinder on the market. If I can't afford my Boxster 6, I will take a Boxster 4...definitely not a Libtard.

Hey, I love Subies...also love Volvos... but yeah, you think that they come from the factory with liberal bumper stickers on them and then conservatives have to pay extra to have them taken off in the body shop...

but on both types of vehicles, my son also has the conclusion that Gays, lesbians and leftists get massive discounts on those vehicles, whether they are NEW or Used...

that is his conclusion of why so many of those persuasions drive them...

they are great cars...as are Volvos, at least those from the 50s right up thru the early 90s...

if I was a rich eccentric type.. I'd have a couple of old 50s or 60s vintage restored Volvos in the garage/barn... I love those things...

and also love Subarus...

No votes for the dems here but I do drive a Subaru. AWD, awesome gas mileage, and my WRX can keep up with just about anything.
