The
Subaru XV is something that has been a relative sales success for
Subaru in Malaysia. This was the first Subaru that has been locally
assembled in Malaysia in recent years. Well, I cannot remember any Subaru being locally assembled over the past twenty five years or so actually.
What has happened is that for the first time ever this quirky
Japanese car maker has actually sold more than a handful of units per year in
this country. It shows, as here in the Klang Valley you see
the XV everywhere. At least one a day at the minimum. This is partly due to the new found affordability (due to CKD status), word of mouth and more mainstream looks (for a Subaru). This is a good
thing as Subaru make cars slightly different from the normal Japanese
stuff.
