subaru was not popular before they entered WRC.

they had the access to 4WD technology and made available to all their models in 70s and 80s - even the small hacthback Justy. still not a familiar name.

and they were one of the pioneers with CVT in the 1980s. of course not as intelligent as the one in Honda City today with 'virtual' 7 speed mode. theirs was stepless as like in scooters. they were still not popular.

when Impreza made their debut in 94, it came with 4WD as well as turbocharged engine. but nobody took note. but few car magazines in UK like Performance Car and WhatCar? did recognise it as a good and capable car.

and only after joining WRC and won, they became more famous.
