I've owned several Subarus over the years, including a couple of Impreza STI models.

3 of my Imprezas were involved in crashes.

All were stationary at the time.... one because I stopped at a red light and one despite me driving off the road onto verge to avoid an out of control idiot in an Audi in the snow.

Or maybe drivers more likely to cause a crash choose BMW, Subaru and Porsche?

Answer #1 - Cyclist  "What a **** waste of time, just telling us what we already know"

Answer #2 - Guardian Reader - "I think that may be a confirmation of what some of us suspected"

Edit - And it is well known that Black Cars have more crashes. And whatabout SUVs?

Some lovely comments from Subaru about how they're all about safe SUVs now and not rally cars driven by idiots. Safe for whom, exactly?
