it's now official
Subaru halted production of the Baja sport-utility truck in mid-April and last month sold 433 units of the vehicle that was introduced in September 2002.

"The Subaru Baja is an exciting vehicle, but the industry-wide demand for sport-utility trucks has not developed as projected. Therefore, it's more cost-effective for Subaru to focus production at SIA on our top-selling vehicles -- the Legacy, Outback and B9 Tribeca," said SIA senior vice president Tom Easterday, who stressed that the vehicle is still available at Subaru dealerships.

NEVERMIND that the baja is a legacy/outback hybrid :censor:

So they're going to get rid of the Baja but keep the Outback?!?! What the hell kind of sense does that make?

Yeah, I figure the carpet munchers could better stretch out in the Baja than the outback.

So where is the Forester in that list? Best Small SUV? Has best 2.5L engine in the world? Hopefully the omission there is a typo, and they aren't thinking about killing that too...

OMG, I have created smiley hell...

That is sad about the Baja :( I really didn't see many out on the road though, so I'm not too suprised.
