We think  
before we print.  
Subaru Life.  
Next time you pick up a Subaru brochure, know that our  
environmentally sensitive printing process has reduced  
the amount of trees, water and energy used in our brochure  
production. In fact, since 2008, we have saved 1,558  
trees, 653,189 gallons of water and close to 1 billion BTUs  
of energy. Every brochure we print is produced using this  
“Green Printing Process” and Forest Stewardship Council  
(FSC) standards. We’re even using more environmentally  
responsible, vegetable-based inks. So whether you  
download a PDF or get a brochure, know that we have  
taken steps to minimize our impact on the Earth.

This brochure was printed with vegetable-based  
inks and produced using a “Green Printing Process”  
and FSC standards. The Forest Stewardship Council  
(FSC) is an international organization that brings people  
together to find solutions which promote responsible  
stewardship of the world’s forests and environments.  
By producing this brochure in a green way rather than  
by traditional methods, we saved 29 trees preserved  
for the future; 86.52 lbs water-borne waste not created;  
12,698 gallons wastewater flow saved; 1,405 lbs solid  
waste not generated; 2,766 lbs net greenhouse gases  
prevented; 21,172,435 BTUs energy not consumed.  
This brochure is printed in the U.S.A. on recycled paper.

The seemingly impossible is made possible when you have  
drivers like Travis Pastrana and Ken Block behind the wheel of  
a Subaru. When they want to drive just for the thrill of it, Subaru  
is the car they take on the roador in the airfor some extreme  
performance at road racing or rally events like the X Games.  
has been no more punishing—and exciting—way to prove  
our performance than rally racing. From snowdrifts in  
Michigan to logging roads of New England, Subaru has

Subaru Boxer Engine  
The SUBARU BOXER® engine is remarkably different  
because it generates more than power. The pistons  
are laid flat in a horizontally opposed design, providing  
powerful, yet smooth acceleration. And better yet, a  
lower center of gravity for increased handling stability.

The thing you’ll notice about Subaru owners is how long they  
hang on to them. They even celebrate milestones like passing  
the 200,000 miles mark on the odometer. Or even 500,000. So
