[s-cars] WAS gas prices, now racist subaru's

[Taka Mizutani]

Fair enough Rolf, but the Impreza is IIHS double-best pick front/side impact 
for a compact car- there are no other cars that beat the Impreza in crash 
test performance in that size class the A4 VWs are not as good. I don't 
think the A5 Golf/Audi A3 has been tested yet.
 I also don't think the repair cost is high- coming from Audis, I think 
they're cheap.
