"Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell rebadged Toyota EVs in Europe."

Subaru was talking about an electric model over 20 years ago! I saw the concept drawings. Whoever has run Subaru for the last 20 years needs to be given a watch and thanked for their service on their way out the door.

(Subaru marketshare is already fairly small in Europe, but an interesting data point imho as global electrification continues)

Subaru the brand with the worst infotainment in the market is going all electric. That’s going to go well
