Why Buy Subaru?
Motor Trend's 2010 Sport/Utility of the Year®
Motor Trend's 2010 Sport/Utility of the Year!
We are pleased to announce that the 2010 Outback is Motor Trend's 2010 Sport Utility of the Year®.
Having spent time with the car, Motor Trend Editor-in-chief Angus MacKenzie said, "It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities. Thoughtfully engineered, cleverly detailed and competitively priced, the Subaru Outback is a terrific all-rounder with broad appeal."
Even more flattering is the fact that this is the second year in a row Subaru took home the award, making us the first car company to ever do so. In the words of Thomas J. Doll, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America Inc. "To win the 2009 award for the Forester was wonderful enough, but to have won for the 2010 Outback this year is truly an outstanding achievement."
It seems the good people at Motor Trend saw in the new Outback what so many had seen before. Unmatched versatility. Enviable gas mileage. The capability of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A legendary safety record. In short, they saw the Outback for what it is, the Outback.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive: The Subaru Clean Plant
Subaru recognizes that clean vehicles are just one part of a clean environment. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. became the first automotive assembly plant to be 'Zero-Landfill'. SIA achieved this outstanding accomplishment in May and has remained zero landfill.
To commit to the zero-landfill program, everything is reused and recycled. Each year SIA actively recycles 99.3% of excess/leftover steel, plastic, wood, paper, glass, and other materials. The remaining 0.7% is shipped to the city of Indianapolis and incinerated to help generate steam. In 2006, SIA recycled 11,411 tons of scrap steel, 1,537 tons of cardboard and paper, and 963 tons of wood. That's equal to conserving 31,040 mature trees, 31,572 cubic yards of landfill space, 711,631 gallons of oil, and 10,759,000 gallons of water. So the next time you take out your trash at home for collection, you're sending more trash to landfills than the entire Subaru manufacturing plant in Lafayette, Indiana (SIA) does in a year.
And SIA is no stranger to being a trailblazer when it comes to being environmentally responsible:
- In 1994, SIA was also the first auto assembly plant in the U.S. to be smoke-free
- In 1998, SIA was the first auto assembly plant in the U.S. to be ISO 14001 Certified
- In 2002, SIA became the first auto assembly plant in the U.S. with an on-site solvent recovery system that produces dry still bottoms
- In 2003, SIA became the first U.S. automotive assembly plant to be designated a wildlife habitat. Deer, coyotes, beavers, blue herons, geese, and other animals live there in peaceful coexistence with the Subaru plant. It's our commitment to leave as small a footprint as possible, delivering real-world benefits that everyone can enjoy
- In 2004, SIA became the first U.S. manufacturing facility to reach zero landfill status
- In 2006, SIA was awarded the U.S. EPA's Gold Achievement Award as a top achiever in the agency's WasteWise program to reduce waste and improve recycling
We've set and achieved environmental stewardship goals for manufacturing at our Subaru of Indiana plant. Click here to learn more about our environmental guidelines for our suppliers.
Subaru of Indiana Automotive is based in Lafayette, Indiana and produces the Subaru Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models.
