Knowing how Subaru is always slow to adapt and to change, it is intriguing that they too are getting in on the race! Now an electric vehicle that is AWD! I can't wait! (However, I feel that the R1e will not be AWD, but that will be FINE by me as it will be used for quick commutes! That's why I'll still have my Forester!

I did some searching on Google and found out that Subaru has been keeping secrets! :gasp: They have been planning concepts of electric vehicles for a while now:
Subaru Hybrid Electric Vehicles and the Quest for Electric Power

I don't know why Subaru would keep things like this in the dark!
Subaru is actually very green,their plant here in the states produces zero landfill waste.
