I don't think they have any more left....I'll try and find the other article but it basically said that dealers are running "dangerously thin" on supply. They cant keep up with the demand for the legacy and forester. Whether you like them or not they are selling like crazy...I agree with this post:

and second it with Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :spin:

You got me there. People don't care about cars anymore. It's unfortunate, but it's true. They just want to get from A to B.

I know they are also super thin on used cars. I've heard more than one story of Dealerships giving retail for trade ins
