    Given the generally-shoddy quality of Subarus ( had two, won't be 
repeating that mistake ), especially later models, I wouldn't want 100% 
genuine Subaru anything.  More to the point, they're probably buying the 
same cheap Chinese crap you're looking at.  At least you don't have a new 
one with a hatch that's rusting.
