This is a neat marketing strategy, and I understand exactly why they want to be a niche product. It lets them lower marketing costs and lock in a fanbase.

My goal is to roll into the dealership with exactly 200,000 miles on the car, which gives me 3 years or so. The Outback is almost exactly what I need, except the fuel economy is much less than I am getting now.

Right now the choices are a Prius V or a Mazda 3 wagon. More choices is good for me.
