Apparently we wont see this until they come in as used imports as the RWD is not fitting with Subaru NZ "total Control" "All AWD" brand profile in NZ.

Really? Though Subaru changed their slogan from 'all wheel drive' to 'confidence in motion'. Could speculate as to it being a precursor to this ...

The letter is pretty good on the whole, but I agree you come across a little abrupt in places. I've played round with the order and added a few things to give it a more informed, assertive tone without the underlying (but understandable) aggression
