On Monday, Subaru’s Indiana plant stopped operations to clean up damage done by storms that ravaged the area. The plant suffered roof damage, broken glass, blown debris, and water damage.

The Subaru Forester was a hit with driving safety experts in real-world conditions. But what about a simulated hill climb in wet conditions? After all, real-world conditions can include surprises like sudden bad weather.

Police and emergency crews have a tough job—they have to drive in any sort of weather and often have to use evasive and defensive maneuvers during their jobs. They're trained by specialists who know the ins and outs of making cars do what is needed in a safe manner. As you can imagine, these specialists are very savvy about cars and driving.
