Four Subaru Models Take "Top Safety Pick" Awards
Subaru has upheld it’s reputation for producing safe vehicles – and this year, four of Subaru of America’s 2009 models have been named a 'Top Safety Pick' by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. 'Top Safety Pick' recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, and rear crashes based on good ratings in Institute tests. Winners are also required have to have electronic stability control (ESC), which research shows significantly reduces crash risk. The following vehicles each earned a 2009 'Top Safety Pick' award in their category:
Subaru Legacy - Mid-size
Subaru Impreza - Small Cars
Subaru Tribeca - Mid-size SUV
Subaru Forester - Small SUV
"It is not a surprise that Subaru has again received 'Top Safety Pick' awards for its vehicles," says Institute President, Adrian Lund. "Subaru is a standout for 2009 because it has at least one Top Safety Pick in every vehicle class in which it competes. The Top Safety Pick awards speak to the commitment Subaru makes to produce safer vehicles." Subaru vehicles are not only safe to drive, but also fun and affordable with all-wheel drive standard.
