Cherry Hill, NJ - December 2, 2009 - Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that it has received
three Residual Value Awards from ALG. ALG's 11th annual Residual Value Awards, for the 2010

percentage of their original price after a three-year period.

Subaru of America, Inc. won Best Mainstream Brand, while the Subaru Forester won the Best
Compact Utility Vehicle award and the Subaru Outback won the Best Midsize Utility award.
ALG determines the award winners after carefully studying the competition in each segment, historical vehicle performance and industry trends. Vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand and pricing strategies are among the key factors that affect ALG's residual value forecasts.

Brand, Best Compact Utility Vehicle and Best Midsize Utility Vehicle," said Tom Doll, executive vice
president and COO, Subaru of America, Inc. "These awards are a testament to the overall value of
