This past August was a big month for Subaru of America. The official report showed that sales were nearly 5% higher than the August of 2014. More XV Crosstreks and more Foresters were sold last month than were ever sold before. It was the 25th consecutive month of over 10,000 Foresters sold as well as the 18th consecutive month of over 10,000 Outbacks sold.
Last month also marked the 45th consecutive month of year-over-year growth for Subaru here in the United States. Not only is this a pretty incredible feat as the company nears four full years of year-over-year sales growth, but 45 also happens to be a pretty interesting number!
