Meet Our Sales Manager, John Henning!


Meet John Henning, a Lehigh grad and father of seven is best described by the Ben & Jerry's flavor Chubby Hubby. This baseball and football lover enjoys fishing and can also shoot basketball free throws with either hand. The best concert he's ever been to was Alvin Lee at the Fillmore in East Greenwich Village in 1970, and his favorite song is You're Still the One, by Orleans.

His favorite Vermont destination is his home, but he enjoys a good meal at L'Amante in Burlington; his restaurant of choice. John currently drives a Subaru Impreza, but if he could have any car it would be the new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited. If he could describe himself as one vehicle, it'd be the Subaru Outback, because it's practical, dependable and useful. Come see John at Twin City Subaru today!

New Subaru Hybrid to be Released in November

A 2014 Subaru Hybrid will be on dealership lots Nov. 1, 2013!


Subaru is ready to debut its first hybrid at the New York Auto Show this March. Subaru of America Director of Product Management and Coordination Kenichi Yamamoto has acknowledged that a Subaru hybrid is indeed on its way.

Rumor has it that the hybrid drivetrain will be featured on the 2014 Forester, but it's also speculated that it will be available on the Impreza and BRZ later on as well. The photo on the right is of the Advanced Tourer Concept hybrid Subaru that was shown at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show.

We think this is an awesome step for Subaru to take. They're already amazing cars; adding better fuel economy and a hybrid drivetrain will just be another great improvement. In the meantime, be sure to view our already-spectacular 2013 Subaru inventory here!

Subaru Launches Driving Difficulty Index Map with Weather.com

Click image to see more detail!
The Weather Channel and Subaru have partnered up to give drivers a tool for gauging driving difficulty before braving the roads. According to Subaru, the Weather Channel has a new layer on its online maps that is called the Driving Difficulty Index, where drivers can pull up an interactive weather map to see what level of difficulty they'll have traveling in the current conditions.

"The index is based on various factors including ice, snow, ponding of water, high winds, and low visibility," according to the article in technology tell. "When selected by the user, the Driving Difficulty Index map shows users where difficult driving conditions are present."

Weather Company VP of Weather Analytics Paul Walsh said that the Driving Difficulty Index is a partnership that's unique to the two brands, due to their shared focus and expertise on driving safety in trying weather conditions. Subaru is the only automaker whose models are all IIHS Top Safety Picks.

Subaru's half of the bargain is that they get advertising space on all of the maps and will also offer Car Clinic video segments and tips to aid drivers in improving their driving safety.
