Response from Subaru . . .

I got this email in response to my suggestion that Subaru reintroduce the 360:

Thank you for visiting the Subaru Web site and for your suggestion. There are no plans at this time to reintroduce the Subaru 360. While I don't know of any regulation forbidding it, I would think that the Subaru 360 would not appeal to many customers. In fact, as it was, I don't think that many US citizens would even fit in a Subaru 360.

But, we still appreciate that you took the time to give us your comments. We will forward them to our Product Planning Department for their future consideration. In the past, input from our customers has been helpful in initiating changes to our newer models. We hope to continually improve our products and appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks for the opportunity to be of assistance. If you need any future assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Best wishes,

John J. Mergen

This strikes me as a very polite way to say "f--k off."

My dad was over 6 feet tall and had little problem fitting into the 360. And when he got it stuck, he would get out and pick up the front end and set it on firmer ground.
