Thanks for compiling this
Thanks for compiling this list. I have read about how the crosstrek is the hardest to come by, sells are number one for that particular model, out doing the other models and yet only the outback was on the list, and in the bottom quarter!? I was actually surprised a bit at the top 50% of list. I thought there would have been at least one more Subaru in there
